Dorothy tells about her childhood and how her father abused her mother and how Dorothy was never going to get into a relationship where abuse was.ĭorothy was/is a very intellect person. An autobiography that tells of abuse that is mentally and physically. You will be enlightened and won’t regret it. It stuck out because in many relationships it is not always 50/50 or both parties putting in 100% and that there will be times when it seems like the abuser loves the least and is controlling everything. ![]() The quote that stuck out the most was chapter #15 titled The Ultimatum states, “The one who loves the least, controls the relationship” by Robert Anthony. Lastly, I enjoyed the spiritual aspect of her journey with God and the quotes she used for each chapter. With each child she brings into this world…into this environment I know she is filled with overwhelming emotions, but know that there is light at the end of the tunnel…when she is ready….hopefully before things are too late. I have a friend who we have become distant over the years because of the abuse she endures and would love for her to read this book. I appreciated that she included the 4 appendixes after the last chapter on “Why Won’t She Leave, How Do I Help Her, I Am Being Abused What Should I do and Why Do Abusers Abuse?” I think these short chapters provide the reader with a brief in site on the above questions and knowledge on how to support someone who is going through abuse. Dorothy’s story is relatable because in one way or another we have or know someone who has experienced some sort of abuse in our life time. Silent Cry is a book that brings awareness about abuse (all forms) and self-awareness on our own trauma. The book is also about how RESILIENT Dorothy was to rise to the top in the end. ![]() The foundations of her story is more than about abuse and betrayal of an NFL wife….the big picture is about the generational TRAUMA she had endured as a child and how her 2 sons experienced similar trauma. I hadn't read a book for pleasure in years and was captivated by her story. I read this book almost 9 months ago and truly enjoyed it. A gripping story throughout, Silent Cry is a testament to Dorothy’s will to live and the peace that comes with hope in the God who sees and hears your tears-even when no one else does. In this book Dorothy shares her experiences of pain, loss, survival, hope, recovery, and victory. ![]() Dorothy was trapped with no one to talk to and nowhere to run. The world did not see her suffering behind closed doors-she was betrayed, treated abusively, threatened continually. She found herself living in the world she thought she had escaped in her years growing up. She was married to a handsome, successful, famous professional athlete, who was a three time Super Bowl Champion and six time Pro-Bowler for the Dallas Cowboys.īefore long the relationship turned abusive.
