Split Decision
One multiple's tales of falling apart and coming back together.
About the Book
The Cover-Up of a Lifetime
Quirky and creative, 13-year-old tomboy Christina dodged recurring nightmares, fickle friends, contemplating suicide, cruel classmates, and unpredictably abusive parents, only to find herself suddenly confronted with a flood of childhood memories of sexual abuse seemingly from nowhere. Stuff no 13-year-old could just make up — but still — were these foggy memories real?
In the midst of overwhelming emotional turmoil at 16, armed only with those memories, the introductions started: creatures from fantasy coming forward in Christina's head, a strange reunion of the people who had always stood by her side to face her haunted lifetime. This intersected a series of nervous breakdowns leading to a suicidal disaster.
On the other side of the unthinkable, everyone pooled their resources to rebuild their shared life: try to locate their lost marbles, navigate legal trouble, figure out how to work together, forge healthy relationships, fix their broken boundaries, overcome a traumatic past, and plan a worthwhile future. When they finally get some proof of abuse, Christina disappears entirely. In her place are a group of babies, children, and pre-adolescents in desperate need of reparenting.
We are the Crisses, and this is our story of facing our past, falling apart over the years, coming back together — and our enormous Split Decision.
