I dont think I knew this and it is heartbreaking. I can't imagine a mother not believing such a thing that her daughter tells her but it happens so often. I'm glad you're getting help and from what I know of you so far you are strong enough to move past this into happiness ecause I am sure it ot there just waiting on you to find it.

    Marilyn,

    Thank you for the kind review. I learned to be strong when my mother dismissed me. I learned from that day forward that nobody was around to help me, so I learned to rely on myself. I turned out okay. It messed me up for years though and it still rears it's ugly head on occasion.

What good is a sorry for your pain going to do? Mine was my damn baby sitter she made me be as much of a man as a little boy can be. It's not our fault, but we are the ones who got ruined. I stand with you, but this isn't a fraternity, it's a travesty. General Quarters.

    Eean,

    Thank you for the great review. You are right, sorry does nothing. We both survived this horrible travesty. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Your poem really touched my heart. It is full of feeling. I could feel the pain in every line - especially "I just can't remember what to let go of" - that line hit so hard. Your poem spoke so clearly about how deep trauma can run and how hard it is to move forward when the past still grips you. The part about putting on a happy face really stuck with me too - it shows so much strength. Thank you for sharing this.

    Michael,

    Thank you for the kind review. I have learned to deal with it and every now and then it rears its ugly head. It happened around Christmas and now that holiday is tough for me.

Maybe research how he died, if he did, and rejoice if it was horrible for him. People can be found on the internet, and if he is alive give him a good cussing out. I know it is an odd idea, but it does somehow feel better. Of course, if he is a beloved grandpa that will be crappy. We can't fix our mothers, unfortunately. I would say the best idea is to live the best life you can in revenge. Did you see our crazy president has six superjets stationed on the island you wrote about?

    Carol,

    Thank you for the kind review. It is a great idea to find his death notice and cuss him out. I don't remember his last name though. He has six jets on Diego Garcia? What is the purpose I wonder.

    I am very worried about why those jets are there. I think they are stealths.

    Diego Garcia is a strategic place to go after the Arab countries. I wonder why they are there also.

Time to smell the roses and bury the past.
Been where you have tread. Bullied and disliked. More than likely, still am, but that because I speak my mind, like Trump, and he doesn't seem to mind, so why should I.. or we?

    Tom,

    Thank you for the great review. I have been trying for years to let go and so far I have not been able to. Most of the time I just push it down deep until something triggers it. I am a work in progress. I think that's why I speak my mind, because like you I don't care if you like me or not.

I am so very sorry to hear this Cecilia. Your poem tells your story and the trauma you are still dealing with. I hope and pray you will someday be able to let it go. You are in my prayers

    Nancy,

    Thank you for the great review. I am a work in progress and continue going to therapy. Writing is a great way to let go of the pain. It's those memories I try to suppress. Thank you for the prayers I appreciate it.

This is very well written and I want to say I am terribly sorry that you had to be abused as a child and you have those awful memories, but I do want to say one thing to you that is that the writing that you're doing is going to be a big help You may not see it right now but in time you will see how writing these painful memories down is helping you to release them from your memory.
