Father Loses it All and
Mends
Relationships with His Children
New Book
Looks at the Aftermath of Addiction, Marriage, Divorce and its Effect on
the
Children
DETROIT
– One in every two
marriages in the United
States ends in divorce and
fifty percent of children from those divorces face difficulties later in
life.
In an effort to reveal the truths and help his son cope with the
aftermath of
his parents’ ugly divorce, author Tony Rassini has just released his
debut
book, Dad, It’s
Time to Tell the Truth! (published
by AuthorHouse
). Discover what
happens when two parents hate each other more
than they love their kids; this is a memoir unlike any other.
Dad, It's
time to tell the Truth!
is the story of one man's struggle
to be a father to four
children in the midst of constant turmoil. Rassini writes a memoir that
is
candid, thorough and at times shocking. He confronts the consequences of
abuse,
frivolous spending habits and neglect. His family’s seemingly
extravagant,
normal life to all on the outside had devastating consequences to those
living
on the inside. He documents his experience with lawyers, doctors and the
courts
while examining the effects his life choices had on his children.
Rassini says:
I have
not written this book as a
victim. I did not write it to place blame. My goal in writing my story
is to
share my truths, choices, consequences, and rewards. If one person,
family, or
child can learn one thing that improves their lives and/or prevents any
of the
hardships I placed upon myself, my children, and my family and friends,
then I
have given unconditional love.
In order to help his son
heal from a nasty divorce and
understand why his father couldn’t be closer to him, Rassini gave his
son the
only thing he had left – the truth. This bold move exposed Rassini’s
vulnerable
past starting with the sexual abuse he endured at an early age by a
family
member, drug and alcohol abuse, his road to sobriety, losing his
multi-million
dollar family business and becoming nearly homeless, details of his
marriage
and divorce from his son’s mother and much more. He writes:
I was failing in protecting my son. Since I began
to
write this truth, I have peeled away another layer to uncover the fact
that I
was beginning to feel like a POW. Camille was in charge; she won, and
that
meant Nick and Sara lost. To me it had become apparent that she hated me
more
than she loved the kids. From her perspective, being an involved father
doing
what was in the best interest of the children meant
money—money and more money.
After a 12 year recovery
from his
addictions, Rassini slipped into a relapse for 11 years as a result of
his
marriage to his second wife. As readers continue on a journey with him,
they see
him lose God, himself, his family and children. Readers will experience
what
the loss meant to him and how he found his way back to sobriety and the
core
values of God, Self, Family and Child. Rassini does not believe his
trials have
been in vain; he hopes readers will learn from his mistakes and realize
the
importance of God, Self, Family and Child to improve their quality of
life and
avoid a shallow existence.
