Description
My Daddy's Secret the sensitive-often heartbreaking-true story of the effects of a father's secret sexual addictions on his family-particularly on his oldest daughter, whom he made his confidante when she was just nine years old. The author hopes this book will provide new insights into the pain such addictions inflict on families-and insight into God's amazing grace in healing those pains. Denise Shick, an author, speaker, and the Director of Help4Families, a Christian ministry that compassionately reaches out to family members and churches, bringing a broader understanding of the emotional pain and spiritual confusion that people face when a loved one has gender-identity issues. Help4Families networks hurting family members with resources, Christian counselors, and personal/group supports. Denise leads a church-based support group for people with sexual addictions. Denise is the Administrator of Family related issues with TGIF (Transgender International Fellowship). She has served as a program aid for an alcohol and substance abuse clinic. She also has 7 years experience with a Christian Pregnancy Center in the roles of Administrative Assistant, a volunteer counselor, and later she implemented an abstinence program in which she had the lead role of the Abstinence Director. Denise has been married for 26 years and has four children.
