Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

As a little boy, Rhys thought every family lived the way his did.Every evening began with listening for footsteps, reading moods, and wondering which version of his father would walk through the front door. For years, he believed that was simply what home felt like.But becoming a father changed everything.Looking back at his own childhood through the eyes of a parent forced Rhys to confront memories, behaviours and emotions he had carried with him for years. It raised a question that sits at the heart of this book: does our childhood have to determine the kind of parent - and person - we become?Stepping on Eggshells is a deeply personal memoir about growing up in a home shaped by fear, the invisible scars childhood can leave behind, and the decision to break the cycle.From childhood experiences that once seemed normal, to anger, relationships, endurance sport, fatherhood and the challenge of understanding the person you've become, this is not a story about having all the answers. It's about finally asking the questions.It's a story of resilience, forgiveness and discovering that the greatest gift we can give our children isn't perfection.It's safety, love, and a home where they never have to walk on eggshells.For anyone who grew up in a difficult home, carries parts of their childhood into adulthood, or wants to become a different kind of parent, Stepping on Eggshells is a reminder that the past can shape us without having to define our future.
