Review of Living Nightmares of Abuse
"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.
