The problem with child abuse is that the child is unable to defend against. It doesn't end when the child grows up and leaves home. The memories will be there for life. Very well written with very good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Good days and bad ones. I try to play it off that I don't miss my Jon but I do miss him so much. Some days I feel so betrayed by him. Stupid huh? How are you doing? Love you, Teri

Oh Teri,
This saddens me so much. You're a wonderful person with a truly big heart to have forgiven.
I like the quatrain format and the aabb rhyming pattern.
Nice and good luck in the contest.

Comment from rmdelta
trust me, it wasn't the military that caused him to mess up in this way, teri. he was already messed up, probably most of his life if he did this to you. Probably, it started long before you ever came along.
I doubt seriously there was any 'peace to be made in Heaven,' because this was something God cannot forgive, I believe. I don't presume to know God's mind, but your father's actions allow him to meet someone other than God.
Sorry, I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. I hope he got exactly what he deserved.

Reggie, I felt the same way for a long time. Something did happen to him in the Navy. He had eight nervous break downs. So I know he was not always that way. But I got the blunt of it. Thanks for the review. Hugs, Teri
Comment from Bryana
How sad my dear friend. The very person that should take care of you is the abuser.
I'm glad you can't remember all, but is it motivated forgetting? Maybe it is.
Your entry is excellent, I wish you luck.
Hugs, Ana

Such a sad and horrid thing to suffer through. I just did a poem about the face of evil about a neighbor whose grandchildren 4 and 7 where molested by a close family friend. The four year old was raped. Just how can some do this I will never understand. I am so sorry for your pain but I thank God you are okay and were able to forgive so you could heal. Thanks, Jeanette

Thanks Jeanette. I could never hurt my sons or any of my family members. But I love my friends too. Hugs, Teri
Comment from VICTIMEYES
the poem is really a sad one and probably somewhat true remembering the old person he was and hoping that he will be made new.

This was difficult to judge due to the content. Honestly speaking I felt you pushed forth the image of abuse, and it held strong throughout.
The only bit of advice I can offer, is that "Lonely was I every way I would go" required a re-read 3 times over ;) I just feel that line can possibly be re-tooled
