Recent release "Artists and Vagabonds: How I Escaped My Mother's Narcissistic Personality Disorder" from Page Publishing author Lorena L. Sikorski is a shocking account of the author's abusive childhood and the cruelty she endured before eventually escaping to make a successful life of her own.
CYPRESS, Calif., June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lorena L. Sikorski, a retired music educator, has completed her new book "Artists and Vagabonds: How I Escaped My Mother's Narcissistic Personality Disorder": a gripping memoir that recounts the formative years of her life under the controlling upbringing of her mother. Sikorski now resides in Orange County, California with her wife of thirty-plus years and at least one dog. She has had a long career as a music and science educator and now runs her own music studio. She has been the recipient of numerous awards over the years and her name is on the Founders Wall of Education at California State University-Fullerton, where she annually funds a trombone scholarship. She is a recognized composer whose compositions have been performed locally.
Sikorski's book recounts her childhood with a mother who was a physically and emotionally abusive narcissist. Throughout her young life, her basic needs were met, but other than that, her mother provided little in the way of caring.
"I recognized from an early age that her love was very conditional. I became the court jester; I made her laugh to avoid her vengeance," Sikorski writes.
Published by Page Publishing, Sikorski's heartbreaking tale tells of a childhood spent in fear as her mother relocated her all over the country, from one school to the next, where any mention of her homelife would bring violent retribution.
The author continued, "I began to hate her. Hating her made me feel very guilty. All the warm TV moments and societal norms said that one was to forgive and love their parents. My father was inept, and my mother was the devil incarnate. There wasn't much to love. As I became an adult, I realized I was a lesbian. That was when all hell broke loose!"
Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase "Artists and Vagabonds: How I Escaped My Mother's Narcissistic Personality Disorder" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
