It is so sad you endured such abuse. Living in constant fear, never being able to please your step-father, and a mother who didn't seem to care what happened to you. You are brave to tell this story.

You are more than welcome any time And I thank you very much for yours as well. You're always so kind when you write your reviews. And you offer nice suggestions too, and I thank you I hope you're doing well today Chuck. There is a character in my book I called him "M" short for mad friend. His name was Chuck. I haven't seen him in many years. But I still think about him and wonder if he's okay. And interesting coincidence don't you think thank you again I so appreciate you!

I'm sure he thinks about you too.
You're a special lady.

Thank you that's kind of you to say!

I'm glad you and your sister have both requested your records from Social Services. Once you read what is said about you, you will understand much more about what was happening. Anything that happens to your mother as a result of her neglect, she deserves. Is your grandmother still associated with Social Services? Is she still alive? I hope you have a break through soon.

Good morning, thank you again for reading deep in your review and others as well. That people understand and can see is a great gift I have my uncle who still maintains his position at social services And aunt is well who Whom I mentioned in a previous chapter she too is involved deeply with social services Oddly enough social services actually placed a young man in her care. I couldn't believe it. Thank you again. I so appreciate you just so you know. I know it might be repeating myself but I just have to keep saying it. Have a great day!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
The planning and strategies involved in your captive life are breathtakingly shocking! Your rebellious spirit, however, is finding ways to weave through their den of control. You expand again on the background to your family, always helping your reader to keep up and be fully appraised of the hardships you suffer. Another excellent chapter with no errors noted. Take care, Lea! Debbie x

Comment from Jim Wile
It sounds like your case is finally getting the attention that it has long-deserved from social services. I'm happy to see that your sister has also reached out to them to corroborate your story. I would be sweating now if I were your mother.
It's hard to believe she continues to spread lies about you and that anyone believes her. Can't your relatives see through her lies? Or perhaps they just don't want to because to do that makes them realize they are complicit in the abuse because they never did anything about it.
I'm glad your story is starting to get out there, Lea. - Jim

I think my mother doesn't know the truth if it hit her in the head. Because she's been lying her whole life. I mean, she lies about so many stupid things to unbelievable things. And tells the story as if people would believe it. But my mother and my stepfather were the king and Queen of manipulation. They will make you believe thay rainbows shoot from their ass. They are that charming. Other people thought of them as great but I knew better. Thank you again, Jim, you're an amazing reviewer in case you didn't cure it. Before I appreciate you your comments and for coming along with me on this journey. Thank you, my friend!
Comment from BethShelby
I'm a bit confused as to why Social Security would want you to fill our documents now. Why after all this time would it matter? Is your grandmother still alive? I hope you manage to get out of this situation soon.

I actually don't want to fill out any documents. I've requested them from the time. I was boany and all records pertaining to myself. My sister has ordered her own. My grandmother's passed. At the time it was called social welfare and or zenith 1234. Thank you my friend for your obvious compassion and insight to the mafter. I enjoy reading your reviews. They offer so much of the different perspective which is helpful and very necessary. Thank you again my friend I hope your day is amazing!
Comment from JSD
Oh, so close, but so far. So excruciatingly frustrating for you and for your readers. I hope you escape in the next one. You're sixteen now aren't you, so surely you have more rights????

Comment from CrystieCookie999
It sounds like you would frequently daydream or literally dream of being somewhere else entirely. It sounds like you had to work very hard just to get the basics like shoes as a permitted expense. This is such a hard thing to read about.
Little fix:
the last of the seasons squirrels
I would just insert an apostrophe, so:
the last of the season's squirrels

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A well written post Lea as you contrast the gentle Autumnal days experienced now with the harsh treatment you received back then. I am surprised your Mother cannot admit to her behaviour and still wants to harass you Lea, how very sad that is, does she have no compassion? Some people should never have children. Another fine chapter in your life story as a child, love Dolly x x x

I don't think my mother understands compassion.
She was what I call one of the entitled and she uses. This is charm and manipulation to get what she wants. She could convince the Nile to flow a different direction! My mother was concerned about her. She thought if she had someone paying the bills. Then she did her duties apparent wrong. Thank you darling again. I appreciate you always have and your wonderful insight is just amazing. So many people have that gift of being able to look Beyond the shadows. That's a wonderful thing thank you again have an awesome day!

A question. Is the first part of your story contemporary? Are you finally making a move? Good for you. Sometimes distance is the one thing we can control. Distance between us and our abusers.
Very well written. I am enjoying reading your excerpts as I feel like I am sharing your journey. More power and strength to you. Jacqueline xx

Hi Jacqueline! I'm writing the chapters in the format of starting in present tense and then going back to my 16 year old self and writing about that. Usually an italics and then back to the present tense again. Saying okay, I've got this chapter done this. How I feel so I try to do that with each one. Sometimes you'll slip a poem in there I hope that makes sense. You are an amazing reviewer and great friend. I hope you don't disappear but that's just me being selfish l o l. Thank you again for your wonderful review and for your support and your kind comments. Amazing, thanks again!

My absolute pleasure. I do love reading about your life. It is so authentic.

And, thank you for sharing such a big part of yourself and displaying the power of a person who has overcome such adversity. Jacqueline xx
