Lies That Bind

THE PRICE FOR BEING A GAY CHILD: DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND SUICIDE This is the book for all gay youths and their parents. Dr. Thomas Domenici’s book expresses all the intensity of a young gay boy’s coming to terms with his same-gender preference. It is an inspiring and compelling message of compassion and empathy, brilliantly realized. Lies That Bind gives insights into the mind of an emotionally broken boy who can no longer play the "I’m-not-gay" game. The boy confides in his family as he also learns to deal with the severe depression that can lead to substance abuse and suicide. This book is about banishing shame and shunning ineffective "remedies" to ease the pain of being gay. It’s about managing anger, lust and revenge. Most importantly, it’s about healing, embracing reality and discovering a social and moral comfort zone. Lies That Bind promotes truth and openness, alerts both children and parents to the process molesters use to lure gay boys, and cautions against the perils of trying to change gender preferences in children.
