I can relate to your poem in certain parts no matter how you slice it all lived together with a broken heart. This is why a married like this is called uneven yoke.
I'm glad you are at last free,
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from rjuselius
this is a sad story to tell, the negligence of a mother is heard. poor father who lost his life for her. overpowering persona. and slightly narcisictic.

Comment from tdragonfly
How sad for everyone involved. No one was a winner only losers. I'm sure in her own way your Mom loved you but did not know how to show it. I am glad for your sake that you have acknowledged life for what it was and now can move own. You were not responsible for what happened. You are now responsible for what and who you are now. You have taken the hardest step, keep moving forward.

Comment from ravenblack
When we are children, we never quite understand what drives our parents to behave as they do, but when we are older, we can understand and let go. My childhood was no bed of roses, but understanding the pressures they were under and their own upbringing, I too forgave and let go.

Comment from Dawn Munro
This is incredibly sorrowful scribing, my friend - I hope it has been cathartic and you will continue to heal. What a shame that you never had the chance to meet your father before he passed on.
Your wonderful rhyme and metering work well, but it is the way you describe this couple that makes it so powerful - amazing job! *****************!!!

Comment from Sankey
So sad. Thanks for sharing. Very well written and we can see the hurt and loneliness in all this. As I read I started thinking it was saying one thing but as I proceeded realized it was a different message. I suppose in this sort of situation you are encouraged to not see it happen again in your own marriage and family. With God in the centre it all works out right. Just seeing I had been through here before.

This poem seems to be a new path for you. Things that you can now release with happier memories.
You did an excellent write in doing that.
I really like the photo. The gown is beautiful. (Smile)

Comment from kiwijenny
Oh writing helps and putting your feet where she did not. That is also the way. My mother didn't show much affection so I show affection.and I have never shaken my kids in a rage. I am sorry you didn't connect with your
Dad in life..I see this story played out in my brother in law's life.
Path of release...with God their is forgiveness and healing
God bless

Thank you for reviewing.
This is just one of the harsh truths I have to acknowledge, accept, and release.
The irony of it is that my father may have actually cared .but was deprived of that chance. Instead my mother moved into a sixteen year de-facto relationship with a man who would become her children's abuser. I have already written some poetry and stories and will write more.
My children have always been loved by both of us and are normal, well adjusted children and adults.

beautiful photo
Mum and dad my story - Mum and Dad, my story
Dad's love was true - caps
Mother's was a lie - caps - I won't note this every time
solid rhyming couplets
good alliteration like in labored the land
a tragic family story - so sad when children suffer from the actions of their parents... Brooke
