Tell Me You're Sorry, Daddy - Two Scared Little Girls. One Abusive Father. One Survived Against All Odds to Tell Their Story Kindle Edition

by Caryn Walker (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 908
See all formats and editions
Tell Me You're Sorry, Daddy is the moving true story of one man's horrific campaign of abuse against his own daughter, which continued for more than seven years of her childhood, and has had effects which continue to this day.
32 years after the abuse began, Caryn Walker finally saw her father in court in 2011, charged with 24 counts of abuse against her. As she awaited the verdict, she looked at the man who robbed her of so many years, who never showed any remorse, and realised that she was the one who was strong, she was the survivor. Caryn knew that it was time for her to tell her full story - and that of her dead sister, Jennifer. Against all the odds, she fought. And she won.

    I am a 51-year-old lady living currently in Turkey. I am finally following my dreams and living a life I once only dreamed of. I am free from demons and have peace in my heart. I wish this for you also.

    My childhood was one of neglect and abuse.

    In 2011 - aged 40, I reported the abuse my father had put me though and took him to court, he was sentenced through trial to 16 years in prison.

    In 2018, I published my memoir - Tell me you’re sorry, Daddy, which tells the story of my childhood and how I overcame so much and fought for justice.

    I wrote my story with the help of best selling ghostwriter Linda Watson-Brown and it made the Sunday Times bestsellers list after just two weeks.

    The book has been a roller coaster of emotions but is helping me to rid myself of my demons.

    The motivation behind my book has been my late sister Jenny, and my desire to help other people who have been through similar experiences.

    I took a perpetrator to court, after 30 years and with no physical evidence. I only had my voice, my truth, and I secured a 16-year conviction.

    My memoir is a Sunday Times & Amazon bestseller and is now available in French, Swedish, Dutch and German.

    It is now available in the US as an Amazon download.

    This is my message:

    ‘If you only have your voice, you have your voice and it is powerful’

    And please remember; sharing your story gives others their voice. <3

    Thank you for reading.

    Caryn

Thank you, Caryn, for having the courage to share what happened to you and your siblings. To fight in court for the truth to be recognized. In no way did any of you deserve any of this. No one does. May your courage and compassion continue to support your healing and the healing of your family and all victims of abuse~<3

I commend the author for her bravery. The book was difficult to follow. The author mentions people by name in passing without giving any clue as to who they are. In one part she makes it sound as if Jenny died from heroin but the very next paragraph she says she had an aneurysm. Very hard to follow.

This book was so heartbreaking but also so empowering! I am a survivor of sexual, mental, physical abuse from my father and reading your story confirmed to me I am not alone. Others have experienced the same realities that I have. I often feel very alone and tend to isolate myself & my feelings, your words spoke for me. Thank you for having the courage and strength to share your life with me! I appreciate it so much!

Read it in one day, couldn't put it down. It's an emotional read, but touched on so many issues that resonated for myself as a sexual abuse survivor. The author writes from the heart and does and amazing job of expressing her truth and honesty.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must read.
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019
What Caryn and her sister endured as children that should have been protected was nothing short of horrific. I want to tell her that i am sorry. Her courage and strength to not only survive but to write this book and work so hard to see the abuser sentenced, will give hope and help many who think they are alone. I cannot recommend this incredible book highly enough. There is evil in this world and the only way we overcome it is by doing good and the author has done this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should read this to raise awareness of child abuse
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2018

I have struggled to think of anything suitable to write here straight after I'd read the book as I just had no words. I was/am disgusted at the way the children were let down (that's an understatement) by their meant to be 'parents'. I think it's important to say that victims/survivors of abuse never ever forget what happened (that's if they remember it all in the first place as the brain is very clever in sometimes blocking memories as mentioned in this book by Caryn's brother)
The suffering these children suffered is absolutely beyond heartbreaking. And I'm so glad that Caryn was able to write this to raise awareness and hopefully stop abuse that is happening all over. So brave to write a book that must have taken so much time and pain to get it together and dragged up horrendous memories.
Also the court case taking such a long time and the impact that had on the Caryn. I can't even begin to understand the pain she felt having it go through court. I am so happy he got the sentence he deserved (although if I'm honest I think a life sentence is all that he deserves)
The dedication to Jenny is so heartfelt and I can hear the love Caryn had (and still has) for her sister
There is a lovely bit in the book (I took a photo of it but not sure if I'm allowed to post it here) about the moon light being a sign from Jenny to Caryn that really touched me 🌘.
You should be very proud of this achievement Caryn 💜

How can people have children and not love them, this book shows what mentally sick people there are in this world, how can people be so twisted, this book is a real eye opener to a side of life that most of us could never imagine, makes you really sad to think of the life these children missed out on.

Its so difficult to review a book like this. You can't say it was amazing or fantastic.
This is a horrific and heartbreaking story, where you are introduced to the heinous behaviour and crimes of two people who should never have been given the privilege of parenthood, and the subsequent irreversible damage they inflicted on their children, the ripple effect of that which caused such long term damage. This lady, along with her siblings is so brave, and I'm so pleased she was able to carve out a life where she can take back some of what was taken and be able to tell her sisters story alongside her own, I'm so happy that despite the horrific damage caused, she now is able enjoy her own family and some semblance of peace and happiness. R.I.P Jenny xx

To say I enjoyed it would be wrong. It was harrowing from start to finish. For those of us who had a safe childhood can we really comprehend such pain, fear and hurt?
It certainly made me grateful for my parents and I applaud Caryn because I do think having her "father" convicted and writing the account may mean a big first step to some form of recovery. I wish you and your family a good life from now on!

Wow. I find it hard to find the words. A wonderfully honest account of the most horrific abuse, not only to Karen and Jenny but also to their siblings. I felt a kind of numbness reading through what had happened, so hard to take in that this does actually happen. Getting to the court case is what broke me, Caryn having to relive every detail before strangers and the outpouring of love from Elroy and her brothers was so overpowering. This is a book that will stay in my mind for a long time. Caryn, believe me when I tell you that you were loved and worthy then, not by your parents but definitely by siblings, your extended family and your small group of friends and you are very much loved and worthy now.
