Abuse is wrong. It killed both my parents.

Formative years below age 7.

I was seven. I suffered passive abuse. I witnessed my mom being hit from my father's hand. I yelled stop it! I was my mom's little hero that day but I couldn't stop him from taking a gun and shooting her as she went to sign divorce papers. He then shot himself.

My dad was sick... an alcoholic.. a disease. He didn't get help. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger but that doesn't mean it should be allowed.

I don't remember much before age 7 and its probably a good thing. Abuse of any kind messes you up more than you can see.. its so deep. to far to see the scars way down deep!... but their always going to be there. Its been 38 years and it still hurts. NOt as much but it still hurts. I don't blame my dad... I blame the disease.

I have peace as I saw my mom and dad's ghost holding hands mentally telling me and my sister of 5 years of age that they were ok and were together no more strife/fighting..at peace with each other and that we were going to be fine that they would be waiting for us and to be good. I was older and my childhood if any took the back burner and I watched out for my little sis...compforted her. I was wise at even 7. I had to be. Be strong I told myself.. Don't cry. Well... I cried myself to sleep many 'o nights silently. Not so much now.. but a lot back then.

I stood up to my dad a little pint. I miss my mom and dad.. always will.

Abuse is never ok. NEVER.
