ok if i am going to tell the story i might as well tell all of it eh?  i neglected to tell two stories.  one that taught me to not have attachments.......my grandpa that i stayed with meant the world to me.  i loved and cherished that man.  when i left he gave me a teddy bear that meant everything to me.  when i was in new york my brother decided he was jealous of that teddy bear and hid it on me.  i bawled for a week until my mother found it and flung it at me. it was obvious what had happened to the thing but mother never did anything about it.  i was still 5 yrs old.  the other was a punishment.  my step dad played baseball.  my mother couldnt take us the day he had a game so he locked my brother and i in a van.  i was bored beyond belief.  my brother was talking to some boy outside and i wanted in the conversation.  my brother told me that only males could be in the convo.  well there was a glass pop bottle on the floor of the van so i held it there and said see i have a ****.   well my step father saw this and told my mother.  as punishment she made my brother and i strip in front of each other (no idea what the logic of this was )  she then proceded to beat us both with a belt...not the leather no...with the buckle.  one of her swings was a bit off and she knocked me out cold (concussion 1).  when the school year ended we moved to cali.  i have no idea where my step father went.  i remember him being there in the beginning of the journey (we drove) but he wasnt there by the time we made it cali.  as bad as new york was...this is where the fun started.  my mother decided that just beating me wasnt enuff.  i still couldnt sit still.  she started to lock me in my room.  no lights no repreive.  i was terrified of the dark but she didnt care.  she would take to locking me in theer for days.  i might get a sandwhich tossed at me once a day.  they would let me out twice to go to the bathroom and then i had to go right back in.  well crafty thing i am, i figured out that my hands were small enuff to reach thru the door opening and undo the chain lock.  i would do this every night to sneak downstairs and eat. well she caught me one night and changed that she put on a regular lock and when i learned to pick that she locked me in the laundry room downstairs and put an alarm on the door.  food was a hell of a torture my mother played me with.  she would make a big meal and her a new boyfriend of hers and my brother would sit and eat it in front of me.  i would hafta sit on the floor and  watch as they ate all the food.  this was a ritual for every holiday.  on the rare occasions that my mother let me play outside, my brother would terrorize me.  he dared me to jump off a second floor balcony.  now i idolized my brother so of course i agreed.  i got stuck cause i wouldnt let go.  he had to go get mother who got her brother to get me down.  she beat us both.  whenever my brother got in trouble he would talk me into taking the blame.  guilt trip in other words.  id get beat, and then locked up.  now half the time there is no way that my mother didnt know it wasnt me (i was locked up at the time).  one time i stood up to mother.  i was six years old.  she put my head thru the wall (hairline fracture 1).  i would go to school with welts, black eyes, a bottom so red raw from getting beat i literally couldnt sit down.  i was taken to hospital with concussions, hairline fractures and nothing was ever done, no one reported it.  ok getting off track.  the next story is real hard to tell so this is enuff for now.

I am glad you were able to share this with us, I know it could not have been easy! Hoping that you are able to find some peace in releasing your pain. You can not change your past, and even trying to make some sort of sense, out of it, is at times impossible! I just hope you are able to move beyond it all, and know that  you are not alone! Take Care ~ Avril ~
