Thank you again!
Comment from royowen
Yesterday I listened to a testimony that would make your toes curl, a boy who had been to church, baptised as a young boy, drifted from God, got into drugs, sex, gaol, gang violence, was always taken back by family, long story short, he could've lost his life, but eventually went back to family, is now married to a lovely girl in our church, God protected him, and now he's married, his family took him back, a real prodigal son story, God is not interested in judging anyone, only taking a broken shattered vessel, and putting it back together, well done, blessings Roy

That's such a wonderful thing to say. I'm so happy your friend in church has a wonderful ending to his story. that is very uplifting to me! I know god is there one hundred percent I also know that the trials and tribulations we go through in our lives when we come here to learn to perfect our souls, we come to the boot camp of souls, the most negative planet in gods Universe and anyone who lives a life here is a Warrior soul. We are all warrior souls and I will be that warrior in life if I can. And when I say that you like this. I'm talking about the actual writing. Not so much the details because they are hard to read I understand. Thank you Roy and you have such a wonderful heart Bless you!

The mercy of God is incredible, you keep telling your story. Beautifully written Lea, blessings
Comment from Pearl Edwards
It's hard to believe that your Oma had the position she did but treated you girls this way.
Your lives were certainly precarious and thankfully your time in the forest made you stronger. Just one typo Lea -
My mother and grandmother two (too) created

Thank you so much for pointing out the title. I need to see and read those things. Because they're so very helpful. They're gold really. I'm so pleased and honored to have you coming on this journey with me. I don't feel as alone as I used to. Imagine as the reader it would be difficult to read in. Sometimes there are things that are really out there and hard to digest so I understand. Thank you, you've done so much reviewing for me today so much. Appreciated my gratitude is unbounded I must say. You are the best! having awesome day!

It's hard to write fiction more vivid than your truth. And for one who has shared similar experiences, you are able to manipulate my senses toward the past with every word. Thanks for sharing.

You are very insightful Ric, I appreciate your comments. I'm sorry if this brings up bad things for you. I hope that you are well. Thanks for reading and coming on this journey with me I appreciate you very much!

Time doesn't heal, as people who've never been there often say. But memories do fade, at least to some degree. I'm good, thanks for asking. I just hope you've overcome the abuse and are in a good place!
Comment from CrystieCookie999
This chapter seems more full of commentary than usual. The different people who started to inform you could maybe be described in general terms. I think this sentence needs one word changed:
My mother and grandmother, two created undeserved reputations for us girls that we were never able to live down.
I think you mean:
My mother and grandmother both created undeserved reputations for us girls that we were never able to live down.
All the secrecy and cover-ups for abuse is really another form of abuse, I suspect.

You're absolutely right, and you hit the nail on the head. It is another form of abuse. We were completely isolated and cut off. Absolutely no love came in our direction.
And yes, it made for some trouble. Defining what love is later on in life. Thank you again for so much for stopping in and reading. Always happy to hear your thoughts and your insight is pretty remarkable as well. Thank you Enjoy your night!
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is downright disturbing. I have never read so much deception and anguish in one post. I feel for you. You went through so much and for what, the police finding your body at the bottom of the lake? It is inconceivable that so much suffering can be inflicted on such a fine person as yourself.
I read with interest all the facts as you know them and it seems to me they need to pay for their crimes.

Thank you, Jesse! I always thought so. No one ever did answer for it. Mother just tells me to F off. What she says does not phase me anymore. Well doctor I am i'm o k with that I just can't care anymore. They can deal with their own dysfunction. I have to go through much. I mean a lot to get to a place of clarity bits and pieces came over the years. Knowing all that I know now that I didn't know. Then every phrase, every action, every question gets answered simply by watching the pattern of behavior. thank God for half a brain to keep me going until now. It's all I can say. I thank you so much for being interested in my story for reading along and offering your compass a big thing for me. One thing I dropped here that i'd never had was believed. Someone believe me I got piles of proof Lord knows.
As I understand it when you write a non fiction, facts have to be verified. I invite anyone and everyone could do so. Thank you again I so appreciate you and your kindness. I hope you have the best day ever!

Your story resonates with me.
You're welcome. Kindness comes naturally. You deserved better, and so did I.
Enjoy the day!

Horrible, horrible. Caught up in a web of deceit. I still pray for news of escape and happiness, even though I know (well I hope) that you are ok now.

Comment from BethShelby
I understand how something like abuse in the family would not be good for your grandmother or her son's positions, but I can't understand with a background like that for sleeping with so many men she wasn't married to, she ever managed to get such a prestigeous position in the first place.

My family are immigrants from Holland. She left Holland because she was shunned by her church, by her family and community.
She was known for other things instead of what she did here in Canada, so they left Holland to come here to make a new life. And so she did, unfortunately, you cannot have a new life built on lies, it's bound to come up sometime. And so it did, it's generational harm mistake. Kept quiet and hidden from everyone. Snowballs down to me where I put a stop to it.
There's no way she could have her reputation here in Canada. Ruined because there was no other Canada for her to go bearing in mind. She has old school thinking as well. I hope that clears it up for you. Thank you again for reading your reviews. Are always refreshing and curious too, that curiosity in you is very charming. Thank you, have a great day, sorry if some of this sounds like gibberish! Enjoy your day!
Comment from Lisasview
I seem to be reading your work every morning now.
I did see a couple of things.
You repeat that Oma was trying to "prove" you a were mentally ill... but you say that twice..
Oma had been diligently trying to have us believe we were mentally disturbed.
Oma was now trying to make us believe we had mental issues.
Lisa
I do not think you need to repeat it...

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
People wear masks in order to hid something or gain something Lea. It is a pity you were not believed by your Grandma, but you will always did know the truth. Your Grandma knows you are not a slut, because she has the test results to prove it. She is also abusive towards you and your sister and she is no better than your Stepfather for covering up his crimes against you. The first line of a poem by Rudyard Kipling comes to mind:
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you"
The first thing an abuser does is deny they have abused and make excuses for their behaviour. The Social Services would have more belief in what happened because they deal with cases like this all the time. Children very rarely make up stories about their parents that are untrue.
Another fine chapter of realisation as to what is happening and you gained adult experience at a very young age Lea, your childhood was taken from you and you had an adult head on your shoulders as a result of lies and deceit.

Thank you again Dolly you're so very insightful about these things truly. Definitely, my grandmother was trying to absolve herself of her own guilt and behavior by deflecting it on to us. When really, the truth is the only thing that put you on the good path. I don't mind saying my family's in an uproar. My mother wants nothing more to do with me. Which doesn't mean anything is just gonna remain the same. Really never get what I needed from her. I'll never get the answers so I chose to resolve things in a different way by becoming PI and investigating their lives. Thank you again Dolly for your review and your kind words. I always appreciate it. I hope the sun's shining where you're at!

The sun is definitely shining here Lea and it is very hot!

Wow minus 1 here!
