BULLIES ARE MADE IN THE AMERICAN HOME

Researchers have linked Bullying to Sibling Abuse

Bullying in America is epidemic. Nearly 1 in 5 students in an average classroom is experiencing Bullying.  Each year, 19 million children are abused by their siblings. Girl In The Water is a groundbreaking book that exposes sibling abuse and bullying. It is a touchstone for the untold stories of millions of children and adults. The author leads the reader on a journey back to her childhood home—where she is confronted with her dreams, her bonds with her family, and the complex after-affects of sibling abuse and bullying. Her story resembles the scariest fairy tale and reveals the dungeon secrets of her own childhood home. Because of early trauma and the loss of important developmental stages, her ascent into adulthood was as arduous as climbing Mt. Everest. The story staggers the reader’s imagination with the author’s phoenix-like determination toward awakening as a courageous survivor. Girl In The Water is a long over-due solution for the prevention of child abuse. It is a restitution of justice for millions of adults who have suffered alone because of sibling abuse and bullying. This book is a call to action to combat the upsurge of unprecedented incidents of both bullying and sibling abuse.

Praise and Reviews
:
Nancy Fox-Kilgore has flung wide open a secret door that all teachers, school counselors, therapists, social workers, MDs, and others in the helping professions MUST enter. Just as Temple Grandin helped us understand autism from the inside out, Fox-Kilgore unlocks her personal diary and ushers us into the oft-silenced hell of sibling bullying and abuse. She takes the reader through under-explored caverns and crevices of sibling abuse and illustrates how penetrating a family system of denial can require the emotional energy akin to the physical ascent of Mt. Everest.

Her diary ends with invaluable statistics, facts, brain research, tips, and guidelines that inform survivors how or if to address their aggressor, ways to determine if a relationship can be healed or must be severed, and how to thrive and love oneself after sibling abuse. This book is a call to action to educate ourselves and parents about the effects of sibling abuse and its link to mental illness and family dysfunction. It's also a book about hope and encouragement, the movement toward mental health, and a message for sibling abuse survivors that they are not alone.

Fantastic insight for never told lies! Opens doors with new hope for healing. A must read for anyone with siblings or parents of more than 1 child!
Third Girl

I never knew that some children live on the edge of death - for years - right here in America. This book opens your eyes to what can happen in ANY family when parents don't pay attention to their own children.

How many other children are out there in their own hellish prison, right in the heart of their own families. Parents, be vigilant, SEE your children and KNOW what they are up to. This could be going on right under your own noses!!!!!!!!! You need to read this book. T BONE

Bravo for speaking out, Ms. Nancy Fox Kilgore! Telling your story is an act of healing! A fine example of how to do it! Thanks! Michele Howden

A Must Read! Who knew what a sister could do when the parents are too busy or don't pay attention. Abuse starts in the home and behind closed doors.

There is hope and healing available if you keep seeking.
