Mistaken Identity

"Before I was born, I was set up for abuse."

So begins the story of Doug Dane, who suffered years of physical and sexual abuse that left him broken, scarred, and unable to form healthy relationships.

Living with guilt and shame became the norm and he didn't understand where his self-loathing came from. His childhood abuse had been blocked out throughout most of his adult life. He didn't think he had been abused at all.

At the age of thirty-five, headed for a second divorce in four years, Doug realized that he was living like a rat trapped in a maze--anxious, desperate, making the same wrong turns over and over again in a futile search for peace. That moment was the catalyst for beginning a journey to freedom, a journey that would take him through years of self-discovery through which he found the simple truth: Your abuse and mistreatment didn't happen because of you, it simply happened to you. You can be free from the guilt and shame of the past. You are worthy of more! When Doug went public with his life story, he felt there had to be a better way. He spent years trying to find it but discovered the better way wasn't that hard and it didn't have to take so long. Mistaken Identity is a roadmap, not just a book to read.
