What Survives

?? What Survives: A Father's Blueprint for Chaos, Clarity, and the Long Haul By Sean C. Guillory II This isn't a clean-and-sober fairy tale. It's the real story—of addiction, betrayal, fatherhood, and the systems that held when everything else collapsed. Sean Guillory didn't just survive chaos. He built a blueprint inside it. With five kids, a fractured marriage, and a mind that didn't always play fair, Sean clawed his way from collapse to clarity—one bill, one meter, one moment at a time. This book is his testimony and his toolkit. Inside, you'll find: • ?? Raw chapters on love, loss, and rebuilding trust • ?? Lived experience with anxiety, bipolar depression, and co-parenting under pressure • ??? Tactical systems for survival—budgeting, leak detection, rhythm-based parenting • ?? Emotional portraits of each child, and the lessons they taught him • ?? A rhythm that holds—through storms, silence, and the long haul This is not a memoir for pity. It's a blueprint for anyone who's drowning and still showing up. Whether you're a parent, a partner, a survivor, or a builder—this book will meet you where you are. Take what holds. Leave what doesn't. And keep moving.
