Vile is a raw and courageous memoir that unveils the author's harrowing journey of surviving childhood under the tyranny of an abusive stepmother and a father who chose silence over protection. With unflinching honesty, she recounts the psychological and emotional scars left by years of manipulation, cruelty, and neglect-yet her story is not one of defeat, but of resilience. From gaslighting and punishments designed to break her spirit to the aching loneliness of being betrayed by the parent who should have shielded her, this memoir exposes the hidden wounds of familial abuse. Yet amid the pain, the author discovers her own strength, learning to navigate trauma, reclaim her voice, and ultimately forge a life defined by survival, not suffering.
