A review by zbrarian
Punching Bag by Rex Ogle

4.0

This was one of the most raw memoirs I have read. There are some people who do not deserve to be parents, no matter how many times they may try to apologize or “change their ways”. How Mr. Ogle was able to move on from this life fraught with anger and fighting and abuse shows how strong a person he is. This will stay with me for a long time and will take a long time to process. I may come back and revise my review after processing.

TW: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, domestic violence,
