I was neglected and abuse as a child )': - NOW GIVE ME MONEY BISHES D<

I have noticed recently while I wonder aimlessly around book shops looking for interesting novels of little interest that there is a increase in the number of 'My parents neglected me and yet abuse me as a child.' books.

I suppose I am touching on, for some people, a sensitive subject for many people but it's something that's nagging me.

About 2 years ago one such book called "A Boy Called It." was a best seller about the struggles a young boy had to suffer from his mother and older brothers. It was a type of book that was relativly new in how open it was and was a talk about talks among a few people in my Yr.10 english class. I give credit to that man for revealing his childhood trauma's to the world and I suppose for a lot of people going through abuse its some form of comfort because this man survived to have a family and lived through his horrors.

Well it seems that this form of encouragment went too far. Now there a child abuse books everywhere. Ones about how they were sold to a nunnery and sexually abused, one about how a black mother told her daughter she was ugly...

In my cold dark eyes (well my eyes aren't that dark - but still..) to me it almost seems as if this is a new get-rich-quick scheme. One man succeeded and now everyone else is out to publish a book on their traumatic childhood in hopes of getting moneny from it. I wonder if half the stories are true...Their parents could have passed on so they published a book about how cold they were and no one would know the difference >.>

Now I may be totally, utterly and completly wrong about this - maybe people just feel that they want to express horrors and show us all that children must unite in their struggle against the abusive adults!! *gets out pitchfork*
