Woh! Get the artwork! How the hell do you do that. Such a multitalented woman! Another episode in the trauma for us to weep about. I'm glad it's helping though. Much love and happy vibes going out to you. X

Lea, that is so realistically told and felt, and I am so sorry for this situation for you. I didn't understand, though, when you said, "All kinds of excuses people give that only conclude in the same result. What is the definition of insanity?" None of your extended family helps you because they think you are mentally ill? I must read more of your writing and see if I can understand.

Hi Katharine!
First, thank you so much for your amazing review. And for your rating. And for your insight and all your kind words. I am very much appreciating your support, thank you!
When people make excuses for not taking, it only results in the same ends. In other words, no action taken means the child continues to suffer.
The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again an expecting different results. So for myself, making that statement means to me that without action, there is no change and when people repeat the same action expecting change, it is insanity.
I hope that clears that up for you. Thank you again very much for your kind words. I very much appreciate it I thank you for reading. It is a chapter in a book that I'm writing called "Ghost". I hope it helps others as it helps me to write it! I hope you have a great night!

Thank you. Lea. I also read the chapter before it. I don't know how you survived your childhood, but I intend to read more and find out. And I hope that now, you are free of them, and your sisters are, too.

PS
I'm glad it helps you to write it.

That old chestnut, ""If you tell the truth, you won't be punished so badly..."
I feel your pain, it is palpable. Hopefully this helps you heal. Thank you for sharing. Take care, Jacqueline xx

Thank you, Jacqueline. Yes, you're absolutely right.
The old chestnut. The words are flowing now the Welsh ring is wrong. No help for it. I'm not carrying but I do think that it's a good. Thing they're writing about it, and maybe 1 day. Publi, thank you for reading your examples. Appreciate your words and your compassion very important to me. I thank you!

I hear your frustration in your words here and it is very sad that you have been treated this way. Parents are meant to care for their children, nurture them, give them a good life and think about their future. Not all parents are good Teri and I hope telling your story helps you heal, love Dolly x

I thank you and Teri very much for your well wishes! I appreciate it very much now. The wellspring has open and the words flow and shall keep flowing until there's no words left to be said about it. And by then, I should feel as light as a feather! Thank you for reading and for commenting and reviewing for all the encouragement you've given me along the way!
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Another masterpiece of a presentation. I love your style of telling a story without losing yourself in the emotions of it. We can feel anger --and we feel YOUR anger-- but you present it in a way that enables it from eating us alive. There's not one moment's worth of melodrama here, just candor and your miraculously HOPEFUL spirit. Somehow, we know that this very smart and ferocious girl IS GOING to make it out of this and triumph. And we're all on the sidelines cheering her on.
Fascinating how your "six sense" was honed to such a level. It was another of the gifts bestowed to save you. So far, they include: brilliance, ferocity, TENACITY...and now supreme intuition.
This is an incredible story, Lea. You are doing a masterful job telling it. xoxoxo

Thank you, Rachelle, thank you again! I'm touched really and truly. I never expected such a response especially one like this!
I knew as soon as I cracked that seal that it would start pouring out. My book called ghost I started with my earliest memories. My mother married 3 times in the first 5 years of my life. That is documented and what we went through during those years. There is no help for it now or must conthere's no other choice. Your sport means more than you know. A lady from far away from me has inside the compassion on the heart to reach out.
I am very grateful and I'm glad there are people like you in the world so thank you again. I hope your evening is great!

I'm so glad to be on the receiving end of this pouring out of your soul. I hope it brings you lifelong relief, Miss Talented; I honestly do. xoxo

Comment from Annmuma
I am so sorry you suffered as a child in all the ways you describe. I am equally distressed that this suffering continues to this day. It is so difficult to truly 'let go' of anything hurtful; it becomes a part of who we are. Anytime, I want to forget any injury or hurt someone has imposed upon me, I begin my imagining myself in control of my life and them of the past as of no consequence. I refuse to allow them to continue to hurt me. Lea, that is so much easier to say than it is to execute and I understand it does not work everyone AND I cannot possibly even imagine myself in your position. What I can imagine is being a listening ear. I care. ann
By the way, I noticed what I thought was a couple of areas you might want to take another look at. See below. At the same time, remember it is always the author who makes the final decision.
-who acted politeness to knock on my door,-- either "acted politely in knocking on my door" or acted with enough politeness to knock on my door".
were quite religious -- should be 'was'. Family is the subject for this verb.

Thank you Ann! I so appreciate you reaching out. I really do I to be received in such a way that I'm able to express this. It will hopefully provide cues to look for and possible advice on what not to do I hope. Hindsight is always 2020. If if my experience helps people, then it is a well lived one. Thank you and for listening and for wishing to continue to listen, it is a great gift to me I shall keep on writing and they occasionally reach out and ask questions, thank you for your corrections I've done them and appreciate you noticing them. It tells me that you have read what I've written. It gives me great pleasure to know that you did. Thank you again. I hope you have the best of evenings!
