Lisa A. Romano

Healing and Recovering from Co-dependency, Addiction, Enabling, and Low Self-Esteem

The Road Back to Me is not only Romano’s story. It is the story of us all. Romano has found a way to help those of us who have grown up feeling invisible to understand that what happened in our childhood was not our fault. In a way only a truly gifted writer can, through the telling of her own story, she reveals parts of us we have long forgotten due to childhood trauma. Although it is Romano’s troubled childhood that is revealed, the reader cannot help but discover lost parts of themselves with every carefully chosen word. This story can help awaken anyone who has been a victim of narcissistic abuse, childhood neglect, or childhood trauma better understand the adults they have become. Romano has discovered that when the mind understands itself, shame can dissipate and self-love can be found.
