Two Parents, One Child, No Love

The True Story of a Child Cast Aside and the Man He Became

De: Mark Anthony

Narrado por: Aaron LaPacz

He was never beaten with belts. He was never starved. But he was abandoned in the cruelest way imaginable—by silence, indifference, and rejection from the very people meant to protect him.

Two Parents, One Child, No Love is the unflinching true story of a boy forced to raise himself in a home that never wanted him—and the man he chose to become.

Mark Anthony invites you into the shadows of his childhood: a father who saw parenting as duty, not love; a stepmother whose cruelty was masked by civility; and a mother who visited once a month, just long enough to be a stranger.

This memoir is not a cry for sympathy—it’s a testimony of survival, self-definition, and the defiant act of breaking the cycle.

If you’ve ever felt invisible, unwanted, or unworthy—this book will remind you that healing is possible, even from the deepest scars.

Raw, Honest, and Deeply Moving

This memoir gripped me from the first page. Mark Anthony tells his story with unflinching honesty, turning pain into power and rejection into resilience.

Trauma Recovery

This audiobook tells the real story of a boy who grew up feeling unwanted by his parents. The author describes his childhood in a house where he had to take care of himself, and no one cared much about him. Even though he wasn’t beat or starved, the lack of love hurt him. This kind of reminds me of my childhood because my dad was not around and my mom had to work so much. The way the story is told is simple and honest, and it made me feel sad but also hopeful. Listening to it, I wanted things to get better for him, and it was good to see how he became stronger later in life. This is good book for anyone going through trauma recovery.
