Getting Back Up: Overcoming Alcoholic Parenting Many Failed Marriages and A Journey Through Cancer And Beyond

By Allyson Urquhart

Getting Back Up is a memoir about how alcoholism can twist and turn its way through generations of a family causing turmoil, trauma and neglect.

My childhood wounds transformed into my young adulthood, which affected my ability to make healthy life choices.

I discover that healing begins not when we come across the truth but when we have the courage to face up to it.

I take you along with me through my failed marriages, hardships and my experience with cancer.

When I look back, I recognize a reoccurring pattern ending up in marriages that had the same outcome of failure due to my unhealthy choices of a partner.

My mission then becomes to break the cycle of generational trauma which includes sharing the harsh reality of the truth with my grown children.
