Hello Lea,
I'm glad to see that you finally escaped for good. Though the world is much different than what you've known thus far, at least you've made a good first step. I know that it's been difficult to write your experiences, but how very freeing too. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

I don't know what's going to happen next, but I am glad you are out of that house. If you never go back, you will have the unknown world to face. There will be new challenges. Your sisters are still suffering from their childhood which they will never forget. Just like you have not forgotten. Fortunately, you are putting your memories on paper. You are telling the world what happened. You are flying high above the memories and problems. You are pushing your way towards peace, happiness, and joy. You go girlfriend! We're all cheering for you.

Lea, I'm so happy for the lightness you are feeling now that the really horrible part of your story is behind you. I know that was incredibly difficult for you to get it all out there, but you did it, and now you feel much better for it. I'm so glad you chose to share this with us, and it's great to see you in much better spirits now.

It sounds like all three of you girls suffered from different forms of PTSD which is not at all surprising considering what you went through for so long. It was a 16-year-long war in your case, and you came through it alive, yet not unscathed. I think it's remarkable that you came through it at all, and it's not surprising that it's left you experiencing depression from time to time.

This was so beautifully written. You have a unique and creative way of expressing things: "I listened to the loud silence crash all around me enveloping the great and huge relief within me. I'm pouring shudders out in gratitude that I do not have to go back there." I wish I had the ability to express things the way you do.

I'm looking forward to the rest of your tale of escape and just hoping that you never have to live with those truly evil folks again. - Jim

    You're the most awesome reviewer you know? Thank you. I'm so happy that you feel this way truly. I'm so happy to have you hanging there with me too I know it's not easy. I can understand it especially for someone who is currently or has been through it. It triggers people for sure. And I hope it triggers the right people to get change real change. Because these are our future, these children are our future. And what do you chance do they have if they live like? I did probably not a lot. You are the best. I thank you so much for your awesome kind and thorough review. That's always great to see you here!

How scarred you three sisters were by this experience. My own sister was so scarred by her childhood that she refused to have children of her own, she said that she would make a bad Mother. We don't realise how the pain of our childhood manifests itself inside us and changes our personality forever.

My Mother had huge issues with her own Mother and remained pessimistic about life until she died. I hope that you can learn to love yourself Lea and appreciate your own talents and now your worth now. In your heart you need forgive your Stepfather and throw away all your anxiety with that forgiveness. He is not worth a second thought. Your Mother thought only of her own needs and you need to also forgive her and know that she will never change. I loved that you appreciated the freedom when you walked through the woods and saw the wildlife.

I was very sad to know that your scalp had been so damaged by your Stepfather's cruel hand. The physical pain you have suffered is dreadful, but don't look back now, only forward to the wonderful life you have now. A fine, well written tale of sorrow and horror and I am glad you are finally escaping it.

Love Dolly x x x

    Dolly, what amazing review? Thank you so much. I appreciate it very, very much national allude to a hookup coming called specter. It is the second half of my life waiting up till now. Unfortunately, I was completely unprepared for anything coming my way. I winged everything and I learned so much. But unfortunately in painful way. But that is what it is when you're not prepared so I thank God he gave me some brains. I really do some brains awesome pissed off emotions that gave me impetus. Yeah, I just let it all. Go put it on the shelf and whatever repercussions come of it so be it. I've been told by a few that I should leave my temporary lodging and move to the interior where no one knows me. Investigations are coming up now. My mother is hurting my family. My son which I cannot abide. I come out swinging. So I may have to do what I did years ago and that was leave and not come back I shall consider that I reflect on that little bit in a couple of chapters. This one will be done but I shall move on to book 2. It will be called Spectre. Your advice is valuable to me. I believe I found the Avenue to letter to. I'll go and it's going. I can feel it. Like a wound pushing out its infection. Thank you so much have a grand day!

To get away from an indifferent mother and an abusive stepfather to achieve that sense of freedom that even includes the squirrels and light-footed birds is quite an achievement. I am hopeful that something good finally happened later on.
The only suggestion I have is here:
Squirrels were bopping about
Even though it is a fun image to think of squirrels 'bopping,' I keep thinking of more of a 1950s or 1960s dance. Maybe 'bouncing' would be more accurate.

Thank goodness you got out of there. Now, we have to wait to see if your friend could provide any help for you and find someone who could. I can barely imagine your feeling of freedom.

    Oh yes, freedom and anything was better than game at sometimes. It was that a place where it was not too much more. Because I was wholly unprepared for the world I was only prepared for survival. Thank you so much again. I appreciate seeing you always and your cool comments amazing support thanks a lot!

I always feel so wary whenever you "escape" from them because something bad always seems to follow and make you have to return. Here's hoping this time it's NOT the case.

Very well written, Lea. Another excellent chapter.

    Thank you again my friend you are the best I hope you know! No I never go back. But I was woefully unprepared for the real world, such that it was though we managed through. I hope you and yours are well and you're having a great night. Thank you for your review as always you're the best!

You'd be a beautiful bird.
A "FREE" Bird as the song says.
Fly away from the darkness, little bird
Fly away from the pain.
Fly away from the horror.
Fly away from the monsters.
Free your soul of this tragedy.
Love, live, sing, dance.
Open your eyes to a different world.
Be happy.
Get a hug or two.
That's the prescription from Dr Chuck.
Heal yourself and look at the moon.
