How to Cope With INTENSE DRAMA and SURVIVE: True Story of Truly Berry Kindle Edition

3.7 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

Do you have family or childhood experiences you've kept secret? Do you know why the pain still hurts? ANOSOGNOSIA unaware tearing you asunder. See how deep the bullet lies. The True Story of Beth Wellington. Gripping!

“Potent…Powerful & extremely moving; the words are like getting hit by a train.”
~WH Bone Publishing

Mamma yelled, “How does that feel?” still pinching Fred’s thigh. You don’t ever hit your little brother Billy … Ever!! You think you’re tough?? There, does that hurt?!!’ She pinched it even harder.

Fred screamed, “Please Stop!! You’re hurting me. I’m sorry!”

I hated Mamma, I hated what she was doing, Fred didn’t deserve any of it… tears kept coming down his eyes, so much pain and for what?? Billy was looking red and guilt-ridden…for causing all this.

Mamma just kept pinching Fred and wouldn’t let go. I cried and screamed, “Leave him alone!” I pushed Fred away as hard as I could. I grabbed the broom and shoved it to Mamma. I fell to the floor. “There take it!” I yelled, “Hit me! Hit me! You leave Fred alone!” I cried.

Then Mamma stared down at me with wild eyes full of hate. I didn’t care– I just wanted it to stop.
“Beth!” she held the broom over her head and screamed, “Get your ass off that floor!”

I screamed back at her, on my knees with my arms stretched out “Hit me! Hit me! Do it!!” I said it over and over again.

***
If someone had a terrible childhood then their parents probably did too and their parents before them... and the cycle continues. Read Beth Wellington’s Story–how she broke the cycle of physical & psychological abuse at the hands of a dysfunctional family. She took care of her sick mother, schizophrenic brother, and sister on Kidney Dialysis three times a week, and the sad part, none of them knew they all were mentally ill.

“Haunting, Unforgettable story and to think that all of it really happened.” ~P Morgan

Every 13 minutes someone in the United States dies by their own hand. More than 41,000 died last year and 1,400,000, suicide attempts.

One out of every four people suffer from some form of mental illness and go undiagnosed until tragedy strikes. If you know someone that has abusive parents or has been emotionally abused or bullied, they could have a mental disorder. This book is not a medical manual, but instead, it's an inspiration and self-help guide to give victims hope and to increase awareness. It is based on a true story of how one woman found the courage and strength to survive the cruelty and emotional trauma of her family. It's an intense real-life drama, intriguing and poignant. It deals with serious challenges related to mental illness and could be upsetting for some people who have endured similar incidents of trauma.

“Refreshingly Raw, Profound & Honest.”
~C Burnett

“Drama that never ceases … a real page-turner...” ~Buzz

    M Lemont does it again, only this time in novel form and with more intensity. This book is gripping! Dealing with the darkness of mental health is a tough subject to write about. I had to take my time reading this book as it was just to intense at times. The author does a terrific job at keeping the interest and flow of the story going while keeping the issue of mental health front and center. If you've ever had to cope with or deal with mental health issues this book is a must read. 5 Big Stars!

    I found this novel to be very insight full and relatable I really like to know what Beth is up to know I'm glad she found a friend in Jack who can help built up herself confidences, I can relate to her in so many ways , I also have to say even though her Father made her promise not to hit her Laura her little sister I'm so that promise would have been broken because I would have been whoop her ass ,she was just spoil little brat who parents didn't discipline when they should old saying spare the rod spoil the child , the only two people that I stated need help was her mother of course a special after the 1984 incident and her brother Billy who is in the mental institution, I really like to know what happen to them I hope Mr.Lemont don't be a coward and not travel to New Zealand to meet her like she said he must be to much a big shot to meet her unless he scare of flying of water.

    A kaleidoscope of one families legacy of pain. A dark and twisted journey of both physical and emotional duress, that continually dances on the fine edge of the abyss. Applause to the author for venturing forth into such palpable waters that can be felt with every turn of the page.

    It took me a long time to read this book. When I was reading How to Cope with Intense Drama and Survive, I found myself gripped and propelled forward with a pace and nuance I have rarely experienced. I love to read. I am a writer, so I read a lot. This review is difficult, not in the sense that I have anything negative to say, but I am somewhat speechless. As a woman who has a family history filled with current and past mental illness, this was a very difficult read.

    The narrative is enthralling and concise. The descriptions are horrific and mind-blowing. The emotional upheaval I experience throughout this book is unmatched thus far in my lifetime. The only thing I can equate this book to is the ocean. Beautiful, clarifying, refreshing, and inspiring. In the same breath, this story, like the ocean, is overwhelming, thought-provoking, real, emotional, horrific, and powerful.

    How to Cope with Intense Drama and Survive is the closest dual sided narrative about mental illness in the world. Leaving out the medical jargon and social stigmas it tells the hard, ugly truth. Pulling you in and not letting go, even when you walk away from reading it for a while. It changes your perspective, your empathy, and your understanding of the devastation mental illness has on not only the person but the people surrounding them.

    A few years ago, I watched a scene in one of my favorite shows, The Blacklist. In it, the Main Character describes the aftermath of suicide.
    Have you ever seen the aftermath of a suicide bombing? I have. … The shock wave knocked me flat, blew out my eardrums. I couldn’t hear. The smoke… It was like being underwater. I went inside. A nightmare. Blood. Parts of people. You could tell where (he) was standing when the vest blew. It was like a perfect circle of death. There was almost nothing left of the people closest to him. 17 dead, 46 injured. Blown to pieces. The closer they were to the bomber, the more horrific the effect. That’s every suicide. Every single one. An act of terror perpetrated against everyone who’s ever known you… Everyone who’s ever loved you. The people closest to you… the ones who cherish you… are the ones who suffer the most pain, the most damage.

    This emotional speech shook my core. This book flattened me.

    Kudos to M LeMont and Taylor Green on such a masterpiece. Well done.

    I couldn't put this book down. I was drawn into the story and setting. Rooting on for Beth the entire time. I also follow Beth on Twitter prior to reading this book. Intrigued by her tweets this book was a treat. I can't wait to read the second part 😏. Hoping for a second part.

    Thinking back when I first read this book How to Cope With INTENSE DRAMA and SURVIVE: I thought being a true story, it might not give me such an impact, however, written by M LeMont Best Selling author of "How To Gain 100K Twitter Followers" and Taylor Green, also a well-known author, I should have been aware of what was coming.
    Living with a dysfunctional family...a mother suffering from mental Illness, Truly Berry lived with the trauma of abuse to her and her brother, who suffered from skitsofrenia, another sister on kidney dialysis, Truly took the brunt of most of the abuse. She ended up taking care of her mamma. brother and sister, however, it is unbelievable to think this could happen in real life. I cried through the whole book and when it was completed, I felt like I had been run over by a truck. It is an unforgettable story to think that none of them knew that they were mentally ill. It's an intense real-life drama, intriguing and poignant.
    Some people might be upset while reading this book but it most likely will help anyone suffering from similar trauma. So it's well worth the read....Incredible indeed.
