Hades' Angels: An Inside View of Women Who Love Lifers and Death
Row Inmates is the story of twenty-six women who each experienced a
transformative journey through their relationships with prison
lifers and death row inmates. These women did not know these men
prior to his incarceration. This work applies Kohut's understanding
of the individual, the soul's drive for potentiality from inner
bondage, out of deadness and subjectivity, towards wholeness, to
heal their early childhood narcissistic injury and sustain meaning
on three levels: personal, interpersonal, and societal. Yes, women
in the general population can learn a great deal from this unique
population ofwomen because their stories replicate those ofstrong,
outwardly successful women in the general population.Hades' Angels
demystifies the "magnetic draw" towards destructive relationships
and suffering and offers readers the opportunity to look into their
own lives and begin to confront the true source of their pain.
There are universal lessons for women on the outside who have
similar kinds of wounding. Hades' Angels probes the hidden forces
behind relationships. As such it draws on a wider readership, not
only those who want to read stories about the Mr. Wrongs of the
world, but those who want to learn how women--even those in
relationship with prison inmates-are able to heal, to transform and
grow so the Mr. Wrongs no longer find their way into their lives.
It is not just the Hades' Angels who are magnetically drawn to
demon lovers or to men with the depth of a puddle. Even the most
capable, intelligent, articulate woman, wounded at the core, may
fall unconsciously into this kind of arrangement. Hades' Angels
offers story, analysis, and interpretation and teaches readers how
to identify, confront and heal the kind of wounds whose source
remains a mystery. Why can a nice girl, a former cheerleader, honor
student, high school principal, publishing executive fall in love
with a prison lifer? It is one question that many readers want to
have answered. Hades' Angels shows readers why this kind of
relationship happens. The subjects are "nice" women, good women,
independent, bright, self- supporting, caretakers/peacemakers,
nurturers, who still have a history of failed relationships. Hades'
Angels shows readers the unrecognized "shadow" part in the lives of
the 26 women interviewed. Their unacknowledged anger and hurt,
buried within since childhood, recognizes itself in the mirror of
the other. Differently expressed, it is the "unseen magnetic draw"
that forms their common wound. "Beauty and the beast," though polar
opposites, are in the world of the emotions, psychologically mated.
The reader of Hades' Angels will understand how a woman learns to
act-in, repress her feelings, and how her historical, emotional and
family dynamics are the lens that infuses and defines her adult
relationship attractions. The reader will be able to understand the
powerful impact of the family of origin marital dynamics on her own
attractions in future relationships. This book shows how the
unacknowledged childhood wounds affect even outwardly successful
clients seen in private practice; the reader will learn to
recognize how they impact her life."
