I wish you could put this where it would do some good---it made me want to throw up and scream--that's how goood it is!
thank-you for sharing,
In disillusioned agony
I pray someone will set me free
as hardened man-flesh tears my skin
I disappear inside again.

Thank you Connie.
I've done my share of both for the two of us. If you could see me shaking with rage as I type even now, you would know what I mean.
Blessings to you my friend,
Curt
Comment from Roberta Joan Jensen
The pain in this is almost too much to read it. The horror of living it is beyond words, except words like these. How does one survive such horrible experiences?

Thank you Roberta,
I replied via PM, but just wanted to thank you once again for your sincere thoughts,

Comment from Sasha
This pretty much knocked the wind out of me. You took me on a trip down memory lane that brought tears to my eyes. Yes, four-year-old's do not lie. Despite the heavy, dark nature (or maybe because of it) this definitely warrants a 6 in my book. Superb work with a difficult subject.

Thank you my friend, and let me be the first to tell you how sorry I am for the unintended trip. I understand completely.
I respect your talent and I am deeply honored.

What cute kids you were. Curt, this is so tragic. You describe this scene unsparingly, as it should be depicted because your whole point is that people try to sugarcoat these ugly family secrets when they are tawdry and cruel and so damaging to children that I cannot even fathom. Even though my mother died when I was 8, I consider myself to have had a truly happy childhood, and so much of that is due to the fact that my father made me feel safe, protected, and cherished. I grieve that so many people have had experiences that were the polar opposite of mine.
This is just so emotionally powerful, and so much of that is due to your descriptive talent. Brooke

Thank you Brooke.
I wish I could have kept those looks. My sister was always my protector, but she was already in school by that age, and couldn't always be there for me.

I always tell Kat that I wish I could have been her mom when I read her biography. I wish I could have been there for you too. I would love to have Daddy back just for one day so I could thank him one more time for taking such good care of me.

My Dad was in Nam, and I hope "Uncle" Phil is frying in hell. God forgive me, because I just can't.

I know Dr. Phil says forgiveness frees a person, but I think some things go beyond forgiveness. I think God is good with that, Curt.
