The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old-Boy

A memoir of trauma, recovery, and the long path to self-understanding

This book began as an attempt to understand why I felt the way I did — and became a roadmap for how I started to change it.

Justin B. Long

For most of my life, I believed something was fundamentally wrong with me.

I didn’t understand why I reacted the way I did.
Why certain moments stayed with me long after they passed.
Why I couldn’t just “move on” the way it seemed like everyone else could.

This book explores those questions — not from a distance, but from the inside.

The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old-Boy

A memoir of trauma, recovery, and the long path to self-understanding

This book began as an attempt to understand why I felt the way I did — and became a roadmap for how I started to change it.

For most of my life, I believed something was fundamentally wrong with me.

I didn’t understand why I reacted the way I did.
Why certain moments stayed with me long after they passed.
Why I couldn’t just “move on” the way it seemed like everyone else could.

This book explores those questions — not from a distance, but from the inside.

The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy is not just a memoir. It’s an honest, unfiltered look at trauma, therapy, and the slow, often uncomfortable process of learning how to understand yourself.

It traces the impact of childhood experiences that don’t always look dramatic from the outside — but shape everything on the inside.

And it explores what happens when you finally stop asking:

“What’s wrong with me?”

…and start asking:

“What happened to me?”

This book is for you if:

  • You’ve ever felt like your reactions don’t make sense

  • You’ve struggled with self-worth or identity

  • You’re working through trauma, recovery, or personal growth

  • You want a clearer understanding of how the past shapes the present

This isn’t a story about quick fixes.

It’s a story about awareness, accountability, and the long path toward change.
