Review of Living Nightmares of Abuse by Phyllis Benton

"Living Nightmares of Abuse" is Diane Benton's memoirs of her childhood, abusive relationships, failed marriages and her quest for solace and happiness. Having eight children, the family did not have a lot of money, but Diane has plenty of fond memories shared with her siblings. However, as she gets older, her parents divorce, and the hardships begin. Diane's mother finds a new boyfriend, a man who tries to molest Diane and her sisters. Seven of the children are put into foster care. Diane marries at a young age, a marriage that ends rather amicably years later. Her second marriage is to a truck driver named Eric, an abusive man who physically, emotionally, and verbally torments Diane until she feels she has no more self-worth. She tries to commit suicide, believing she has no other options. After years of Eric's abuse, she finally has the courage to leave him behind as she drives during a snowstorm out of Maine. She escapes Eric, but the anguish is not over. She meets Henry next, another abuser, from whom she becomes free when he passes away. After many heartbreaking relationships, Diane finally feels some fulfillment after meeting and marrying David, whom she believes is her true love and guardian angel. Her hurtful experiences in life have at long last given way to something truly satisfying. Diane's story is written with such detail and emotion, the reader feels like he/she is experiencing life right along with her in this heartrending memoir.
