Reading this brings back memories of my past and as the oldest I use to get it on my brothers and sister's behalf when they were disobedient. I was always held responsible for their actions. Ugh! But I've grown to learn from those disciplinable teachings really has made me a better person, its funny though I can't say the same for them. Thanks for sharing! :)

This piece is sad for its content and effective because it is short and only gives the essential details. I like that, well done!

Susan, A nicely written piece about a time in our history when this was the norm rather than abuse. Although it's sometimes hard to believe, we are making progress.

Thanks for this little reminder. Dick

A sad memory of the way it once was, but you have blossomed in beauty ever since, moving tale...

Be always safe,

I'm glad you finally moved......on, the right move. Patrick

Been there. Took that. Raised in a family where the mother was a monster, father was milquetoast, no wonder it took the kid sixty years to halfway figure things out.

After that there's not a whole lot to say.....I do love you...
