This story keeps you going through every emotion for this little girl. The sad thing is that so many children have lived this life. Great job and keep up the good work.

What a very sad story. The last sentence brought tears to my eyes. It is very well written and holds the readers attention. It certainly shows how bad parenting can harm a child. Interesting maybe a little too sad to say enjoyable. Good write. Debbie

Hi, Patty, this is very original write. I have never heard a psychiatrist telling her patient to do this assignment. Or do they? Anyway, this is sad but interesting.

Thank you for reading and reviewing. A friend of mine told me that she was asked to write something like this in therapy - it opened a lot of doors of where and what they would start on for working through her childhood. ~patty~
Comment from Veekz
This is a very sad tale hun, sadly one that's also all too common. I think your main character should feel proud they got out and managed to join the army instead of turning to drink or drugs. Maybe her shrink should have told her to look for the positive things to have come from it rather then the bad :)
Look at me sitting here wanting to give advice to a fictional character! LOL! You have obviously built her up so well as I can picture her easily, as if she were an actual person :)
No changes needed as far as I can see - this is a well written and, while sad, enjoyable read :)

This is a very strong story with an excellent moral. It is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read. This should be an easy marketing.

This is so sad. If only she could have experienced the kind of life she wrote about rather than the one she lived. A very interesting, well-written story.

Comment from Magic Wand
A timeless message. The visuals are vivid. the emotions both strong and harsh. The situation is deplorable, but she does seem to come out better off than her siblings, in that she is seeking counseling.

Hi, Mustangpatty.
I thought this was well written. It is a sad story. I liked the way you wrote idealized and then the reality. It would be great if all children were healthy and came from healthy happy families.
