Chapter 5 David.

Russell was like mom's little look out because she brainwashed him, he watched and made sure i didn't steal any food or find anything to eat. He even lied to mom just to get enjoyment out of my punishments. I learned the games and I usually could guess what she was going to do to me next. Mom was an alcoholic and I know half the time she wasn't herself. One night she stabbed me in the stomach, she meant it as a threat and she ended up slipping. The pain was unbearable. She realized what she had done and she knew it was a mistake, she cleaned and wrapped me up and sent me on my way. Her time limit for the dishes went from 20minutes to 30minutes, but i knew there was not enough strength in my weakened body to meet her deadline. I tried to get dad to help, but he was of course helpless to me. He didn't want to fight with mom. The womb became infected and i tried to clean it myself because i didn't want to ask for help. I think its sad a child should have to be afraid of their own mother.

  1. David,
    maybe if you just did what i said and wasnt always such a bad child it would have never happened! It's your fault.

  2. Liston kid, I admire your strength. There is no need for you put up with this any longer. Whether you know it or not there are people that care about you. And your dad is just trying not to make it worse. But he doesn’t need to stand there and watch it happen. And if you need me at all just let me know or tell someone.
