A friend sent me the link to this.
Very little of my abuse was physical. It’s verbal/mental/emotional, so no marks to draw attention to (yes, I used contradictory tenses on purpose: I no longer live there, but I still struggle with it every time I have to deal with my dad). So no one could save me either and I was in my mid twenties before I found the courage to leave. Now my “baby” sister (and mom) is where I was, trying to find her courage, only now he’s worse. Sadly, I don’t think my dad would be smart enough to figure it out if Mom ever got up the guts to leave him, or if my sister and I completely cut ties with him.
This one made me cry for all its multiple layers of tragedy – and yet, how strange am I that it also made me want to read that fairy tale?
Ah well – thanks for the great read!
