Healing My Wounded Inner Child: A Journey Toward Wholeness by Jan E. Frazier

At the age of four, a little girl sat in the corner of the small, modest living room, her knees pulled up under her plaid dress. As her mother vacuumed, the little girl's eyes searched the room for her Dickie Doll because if he sat in her lap, she wouldn't be alone anymore. However, even if she saw the doll, she still couldn't get him because she was afraid to leave the security of her corner. Fear – that can be a huge factor in a child's life while growing up in a dysfunctional family. The little girl's nine-year-old brother had died of leukemia, and her mother, grieving the loss of her son and unable to cope, seemed to withdraw from life. Lost in her own thoughts, the mother had little interaction with her young daughter. Thus, the four-year-old was left in a cold, scary, and often overwhelming world with thoughts that made her feel as if she must be a horrible child for her mother to “leave” her and not talk to her.
