Autobiography
Date Published: November 6, 2022
Publisher: Ocean Reeve Publishing Queensland Australia
Throughout this book we learn about the sufferance of a baby boy, unwanted
by his teenage parents.
This boy grew up with an aggressive and womanising father that constantly
reminded him that he was a mistake that ruined his father’s
life.
While been beaten and mentally abused, all he craved from his parents was
love but received nothing but humiliation and sufferance from his
father.
This caused detrimental trauma to the young boy, and he grew up believing
that he would never achieve anything in life.
I was this little boy, and this is my story.
What Readers Are Saying
“Great read, very compelling, could not put it down. Read in one
sitting. You are a good guy, glad that I know you!”
– Peter Healey
“Reading Escaping my Demons gave me an insight into how difficult
Joseph’s childhood was … This would be a good self-help book for those who
have had less-than-ideal family life and the proof has shown that in the end
we make our own lives and can choose toe either be a victim or a
winner.”
-Vicki Ebert
“The book ‘Escaping my Demons’ is Fagarazzi’s road map to the
emotional freedom he now enjoys today.”
-Kez Wickham St George
EXCERPT
My story is about surviving domestic violence as well as mental and physical sexual abuse. It’s about living and surviving in an abusive, non-loving relationship and finding ways to overcome it by becoming a strong-minded, resilient, optimistic individual and finding ways to believe in yourself no matter how often you have been unjustly ridiculed, mischaracterised, and discriminated against.
I hope to give my readers an understanding of my pain and suffering and to know what it was like to walk in my shoes.
I want this book to be a reminder that, even though I’m seventy years old, I still carry these scars; this book is cathartic to write, and I wish to help others experiencing what I have to find ways to overcome their pain much earlier in their lives.
