So much for a fifteen year old to take in and still to try to stay safe when the perpetrators have positions of power in the outside world. I feel so lucky to have had what I thought of as a 'normal ' family.
Cheers,

Oh, how I wish that were the case for myself. But it's not and won't ever be so lessons. I learned growing up were definitely different. I learned what not to do not necessarily what to do when I went out in the world. I was in for a great shock I was wholly unprepared for it. Thank you again my friend I appreciate you as always!

If I am reading this right, it seems there is a pattern of abuse that may also have started more than one or two generations ago. Substitute teacher training in our school district keeps including more detailed signs of what to watch for to report child abuse. It's hard to report things like this unless someone finally speaks up. It's important to keep writing your life story.

Thank you, and again, you're absolutely right. This is generational begins with my grandmother and a lie, love andfidelity and her desire to keep it all secret but thank you. You're very intuitive and then I shall keep on writing especially with people like yourself offering their support. Thank you again, have a nice night!

Thank you, I'm so glad you like it really, truly. I do my best to convey things in such a way that I'm not whining but to be factual at the same time and that everybody's interested in Reading more, thank you for telling me that that has been accomplished and for hanging in there with quite a journey. Thank you again, have a Good Night!
Comment from Lisasview
Oh my goodness dear Lea, I know I need to go back to the very beginning as I missed some of what you already wrote but I decided to read this one...
Of course I am not understanding the name changes (you are the girl of 15...right)
Yes, why did your mother hate her girls? She must be ill... that is all it could be.
Luckily you are okay... what about the other girls...and you say ill... ill because of lack of food?
So many questions...sorry..
Lisa

We were malnutritioned. Extremely underweight. Sick because of it. punishment beyond beating Was emotional abuse and starvation. Yes, you're right going from the Scott would answer a lot of your questions. Why people are the way they are progression really? What I didn't know then that we were the scapegoats for all things negative, and anything happens. I think it will help you if you decide you'd like to read from the beginning. It will certainly explain a lot. I don't mind question I'm happy to have you reading along whenever you're able. I appreciate all your comments. You have great insight and a lot of knowledge so I welcome anything you have to say. Thank you for this kind review. And we're reading and for taking that time. Appreciate you. And all you do have a great night!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
There is very little children can do when parents are uncaring and dismissive of their children and they must never blame themselves for how they were treated. My sister suffered at my Father's hand because she was vocal and answered back. He would drag her across the floor by her hair and kick her. It terrified me as I thought he might kill her one day. When my Father was dying and we stood by his bed, my sister wanted to discuss her childhood, but it was too late to discuss it then and was deemed in bad taste because my Father was dying of cancer. My Father never owned up to his mistreatment of her or apologised. He was beaten by his Mother and this is how he handled his own children. I tried not to antagonise him. My sister still lives with the torment but I moved on a long time ago and would never allow my memories to disrupt my life. Another fine chapter Lea, love Dolly x

I feel so sorry for sister. I hope that 1 day she can free herself. I know the struggle to try and do stuff cannot be a victim of the past or a prisoner of the past is a tough jail to break out of.
I'm happy To see you have resolved that and have a good life. Thank you so much for your review and for your kind comments and sharing this with me, my heart goes out to you both and wish you a good evening, thank you again!
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Again, your writing is so real, authentic, and important. If young people can get their eyes on your writing they will feel empowered. That is why so many crazy people are baning books right now. Knowledge is power and you can spill the beans of your knowledge as you recall now, 1931. and literally save the physical and mental lives of many generations of young people. My parents were older parents because I was youngest of five but even my mom, who was born in a small town in 1931, shared something with me when I was twelve and didn't even know about myself.
My mom told me that some kids have "both" and described how she babysat a baby like that and mom then said to an innocent me, "They deserve love too." My mother was the most loving truly unconditionally loving person I ever knew or would ever know. I wanted to tell you about her. She would've been so upset to hear your story that you had to go through so much pain.
Keep speaking out! You are doing great! Perfectly really!
Good night, Friend,
Alexandra :))

How did they keep up with all the ID changes? It seems to me that whatever Oma was suggesting went against the grain with Opa. Wonder what that was about?

Yes, I had a few things that went against the grain. Differences of opinion large matters between them. That spoke it's ugly head.
I have no clue how they kept up with the ID I don't know it was just what's my name today, so thank you very much for reading. And your curiosity I like that too I appreciate you stopping in for a read, please do anytime it is a story I've been waiting to tell for a long time, and now it is time brief, appreciate you and all that you do have a great night!
Comment from Jim Wile
These monsters in your so-called family deserve to have the lid blown off and their negligence exposed. "You are no longer my daughter," says your mother. She was never your mother in any real sense of the word because a mother cares for her child and nurtures it, none of which she did for you. The same can be said of your grandmother.
A child should not have to live her life confused and wondering what she did wrong to deserve such abuse. Whatever repercussions those frauds may suffer in the future because of your expose (and I hope there will be some) are well deserved. This truly is as frightening as living out in the woods. - Jim

Hi Jim...I hope to publish so that all may know and be wary of. Writing this is like pulling a cork on a big wine barrel. Once it starts, it's coming out! Thank you, Jim, it's going to come out. This is the only way I know how to do it. I'm taking flack from my family right now. My mother says i'm not her daughter, uh, fuck off from she's had enough. Yes, and then she said I make her look Bad. That is the words of a narcissist I keep from them. Now they're taking everything frommy. I have nothing left that thing to take, not in itself. It's another story, thank you again for everything. You're compassion, and you're sounds words of outrage on my behalf. Thank you very much. I hope you have the best of evenings as you deserve it!!

You've done beautifully with this chapter, Lea. You're lining up the roadmaps for us and pointing us in the direction we will be going with you on this guided tour. This stomach-churning, horrific tour. You also took care of spags, too!! Terrific job editing. I'm telling you: you're a natural at this! xoxoxo

Comment from BethShelby
I guess your mother is still married to the man. I don't understand all the name changes. It almost sounds like your parents don't want anyone to know much about thim. I would think you are used to no real affection from your parents. I'm not sure what you are so afraid of. Is you sister scared as well. You don't want to go back to you parents. You grandmonter does want to talk what has happened. It seems your grandmother and uncles are well respected. Have they done something illigal they don't want you to know ahout?

I will let you in on a little secret. My grandmother my mother my step father and others decided to cover up the incidences of abuse. To stop paperwork from moving, To close any investigations headed in our direction. Denied hospital stays. 3 careers in the ministry and 1 career in politics. Let us continue, that was a real possibility. Shut us up, everybody remains in the same spot. My grandmother doesn't have to worry about the past. Coming up what the church services? There is a big big cover up for information. But didn't start with me, start with my grandmother. The pregenitor of the big sea that won the ball rolled from. I will talk about this and upcoming chapters. Before I get too carried away and spill all the beans, I want to thank you for the amazing review and the awesome stars who gave it offering your kind comments. It's not for questions and you're a compassion I know. I still say it over and over again. You might get tired of hearing it LOL but thank you. I hope you have an amazing night!

Most of the abuse came from the man hitting you in the face with his fist. I shocked as an abuser he didn't abuse your mother. Thank you for sharing your story. It deserves to be out there.
