Chris' Childhood home where he lived from ages 7 to 14 and where most of his childhood trauma experiences of  neglect, covert and overt abuse events occurred 

Where the Generational Trauma all started for Chris.   A 1970s photo of Chris' grandparents where alcoholism and marital abuse started and was carried down through his father and to Chris.   

Chris was told stories on how his grandfather locked up his grandmother in an asylum for a number of years because of her anxiety and drinking.  This is where Chris learned later his dysfunctional relationships root cause.

From the look on his mother's face, she adored her husband. Little was known to her of the darkness, turmoil and loneliness that would follow over the next 12 years resulting in her falling into deeper and deeper levels of sexual addiction and alcoholism before  she would suddenly pass away from alcohol poisoning  and a head trauma injury at the  adult age of 38.

An early photo of Chris' Mother taken with her father in Europe before she moved to New York City to become a model in 1959.  Chris  often wonders what his Mother's childhood was like and what  harmful experiences she  had encountered which led her to severe alcoholism, loneliness, depression and sexual addiction as an  adult.

Chris' Aunts' visited his mother often when he was  8 - 9 years old. The sister's irresponsible behaviors of sunbathing nude significantly distorted Chris'  development for healthy attractions.  Chris struggled from these events, blurring innocence and intimacy that later contributed to his own battle with sexual addiction, fantasy and a distorted perception of love.
