&nbsp;I am not sure. &nbsp;It would be a book about life with my dad. It would be the story of living and surviving. &nbsp;I want this book to shout out to parents that are living with abuse thinking it is best to keep the family together. &nbsp;I want it to be a book that gives the child&#8217;s perspective of life in fear.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The other book idea is one of putting my blog into some form of a book.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Do you have thoughts on this?<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I am stalling from getting the dishes done, laundry put away and supper. <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Hope your week is a good one.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have so much to say&#8230; and as my day goes along I think of things that I want to blog about yet I either forget or by the time I have time to write, it seems kind of petty &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/?p=860\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
