Oh what a dreadful memory. It's very well written so that one feels the panic and sees the attack. I hope that writing this down is therapeutic for you. I think that's the true value of entering a contest like this. If one is honest and goes back to the earliest memories, it's beneficial and freeing.
Best of luck in the voting booth

This was such a bad first memory. I can see why it affects you even after all this time. I am sorry you had to suffer through this. Thank you for being brave enough to share, and best wishes to you.

Hi
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
I'm sorry your childhood memory was so traumatic. I guess you were claustrophobic from an early age.
My first memory is also of crying for long periods of time.
I'm surprised that somebody took you to the doctors the next day because everybody was fighting. So who took you? your mother? Your father or an older sibling?
I think maybe this has gotten even more traumatic over the years because your mother was being killed by your father. Who's to say what would have happened if she hadn't been able to hit his forehead with the wood?
Also, how long did they stay together after that incident? Because your mother was risking her life to stay with him
I enjoyed reading your story
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for reading.
My mother took my brother and me to the doctors because we all needed attention. My mother was given anti depressant medication medication which sadly ruined her life because she died at sixty eight years old still on them.
The police became involved and as soon as possible after that we left and I never truly had a father after that.

Good riddance to your father
