Your brain must have shut you down to protect you, it's just as well for you that it did Lea. I liked the - back to my corner of the ring - it was a neverending fight wasn't it. Yes, 1.46 very eerie.
A good write, Lea.
cheers

Thank you again Valda! I'm gonna imagine it must be hard for the reader. Sometimes almost as much this is it was difficult to write. My chain comes from how I lived my life. Even if it was only a few months to make me feel shitty about myself. I will write about that. It was so many years ago though and I was so young. I just cannot keep beating myself up. I appreciate you so very much for reading for writing for reviewing and getting your fine stars. Enjoy your day!

There are strange things in control of our lives! I've read the last three now, not reviewed all of them. But things seem to be heading in the right direction as you seem to be getting stronger. This is a positive thing to hang on to, that the horrors make you such a strong person. x

Thank you yes, kicking butt and soon I go out the door and I never come back. Thank you my friend again. I appreciate you reading and offering your thoughts and kind review.
Have you on this journey as a privilege!
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Lea,
I'm glad the jerk didn't try to force you awake and do some work. Your body obviously had had enough. I don't know how you managed for as long as you did. I'm glad they didn't hear you in the kitchen and start a fresh round of abuse. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Thank you again, Tom. Yes, relief comes. It comes in increments rather than all at once. As much as I would have loved that to be so but I stand on the outside of it all now so I know what the truth is when I don't know. It's Friday, he'll be my final kick at the cat. Put it on the shelf and be done. I hope I can publish this one day so that if it helps another then I am satisfied. Thank you again, Tom I'm always happy to see if you're reviewed and that you're hanging in there with me. I appreciate it have an awesome day!

The time is coincidental, strangely so. Sometimes, when we've been so much stress and worry, our body will shut down until it can rejuvenate itself. Left too long, it can have serious consequences.

Yeah, I think something popped in my head. Or that just said enough.
Yeah, I remember at the time feeling out of control. If that's the right word, I'm not sure but yes, it can be very serious. Luckily I did not suffer that event again. Thank you for reading and offering your thoughts and for your kindness, i'm appreciative, thank you for your review and you're kind of rating. I hope your day is the best!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I suppose the body shuts down as a coping mechanism to stress and trauma and this is what happened to you. Not sure you had any medial intervention here and I just hope this passes. Another fine chapter in your journey Lea, love Dolly x x x

Thank you Dolly! My parents didn't want to take me to the doctor if they could avoid it. They didn't want to be found out, you see. It hasn't had an episode like that since it's good. I think I just shut down from too much c*** going on.
Thank you again Dolly for reading along with me. I appreciate your support and your awesome words!
Comment from Jim Wile
It almost did sound like you were in a coma. I guess that was your body's way of dealing with all the stress you had been facing in order to help you take a break from it and give you a chance to recharge.
It was risky, but I loved seeing you stand up against your parents and not meekly accept their demands. It sounds like you're beginning to gain the strength to break free from the stranglehold. Let's hope it won't work to your detriment and you won't end up worse off for it.
What a beautiful picture accompanies this chapter. You are quite the artist and a woman of many talents, Lea. - Jim

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it. I like art too I like to create things. I make jewelry all my own pendant designs.
And I paint wildlife pictures too. Thank you for your kind compliment and that you enjoy this chapter. Don't worry, answers come in increments but they come. Thank you again, Jim, hope you're having a great day!
Comment from BethShelby
I wonder if anyway was concerned that you were able to get up during all that time. They probably tried to wake you. This was well written. You've written a lot of good ones so the six it for them as well. It the end of the week if I still have one, it is yours.

Thank you again my friend. I so appreciate this and your comments are always welcome. You're an insightful intelligent lady. I thank you very much for it, and this fine. Waiting to thank you have a great day!
Comment from Chuck Keller
Always great writing.
Your storytelling abilities are tremendous.
This book is so tragic and sad. I wish it was fiction.
Again, thanks for allowing me to ride along this sad trip.
The reality is shocking but, like PTSD among soldiers, it's therapeutic to talk about it.
Too many hold it inside like I did for 40 years. Too many others remain in that coma until they can't take it anymore and wind up a suicide statistic.

You are absolutely right, I'm so sorry. You went through what you went through, too. If anyone understands, it's me. Thank you again for hanging in there with me. While I write it, I very much appreciate it. You have made a friend in me! Thank you for your wonderful review as always. I'm appreciating all your words and your compassi. Hope you have nothing but great days!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This disconnect is very understandable. There's only so much that the brain can take before it goes into freeze mode. It sounds like this reaction was in response to huge stress and unresolved fear. You might have thought you were dealing with it but you became overloaded with exhaustion, resulting in this crippling experience. This is a message that something has to change ..urgently. Your story excellently conveys this frightening event and your determination not to be defeated. Well done, Lea! Debbie x

Thank you so very much, I appreciate it. Your review is always well received and you are exactly right again. I hope you have the best evening, thank you!
Comment from Rachelle Allen
I'm surprised your faux father let you sleep. He'd been so severe and menacing when he left that morning, I was afraid he'd come back and PUT you into that coma-like sleep!
I liked this sentence a lot:
Back to my corner of the ring, adjust my gloves, and lick my wounds to come back fighting one more time.
It's like the scene in Rocky when he's down on the mat, ad Adrien screams, "Fight, Rocky, fight!!" and he roars back to life and beats the bejezus out of Apollo Creed. Can't wait for you to do that to that creepy man your mother married!!! Fight, Lea, fight!!!!
