You're a very good writer I like how parts of the poem sort of rhymes here and there.
I know I have said the above before in past feedbacks but it's true and the fact that I don't know what to say to someone other than the written piece is well written.
I wish this place didn't have character limitations when leaving feedbacks

Again I thank you so much for this great writing and this great review on truly humbled and honored and glad you are along for the ride and appreciate your reading along! Thank you again sometimes just tell a joke will fill in the gaps I'm kidding LOL have a good night!
-
That?s what I should do tell a joke to fill in the gap lol you?re very clever lol and also pretty nice too. It?s always the younger people who are younger than me who are the nicest. I may not be your age but I am sure I am old enough to be your aunt or mom. lol.
Tomorow I plan to post a story a rather long one about a very special cat I used to have named Scampie. He was quite the cat as you will see and I will post one of his actual photos to be used as the story cover photo.

Hi Lea,
what can I say? First thing that enters my heart is... so sorry this was yours and your sister's life. Unconscious grey entities forever altering the lives of developing minds and bodies. It takes a millisecond to install the stumbling blocks that shape our lives and a lifetime of hard slog to work through all the sludge. The important thing though, is you made it through, damaged, yes... but my gut tells me you are a strong woman and a survivor who through your own experiences will be of great help and comfort to those now going through this nightmare called family dysfunction and those yet to. Sadly, with the way our society and family units are concerned these days, this behavior and everything it creates will be on the rise.
I loved the dark yet very poignant poem to start off this procession... it enters the soul with full intent and feeling.
Your prelude introduced the story beautifully and explained, laid out and prepared the way.
It's always really hard for me not to react emotionally to these types of stories... the stories that shape our younger lives and leave us in a world of hurt, confusion, negotiating mazes, darkness, fear, anxiety and uncertainty... the side effects go on!
I am so glad you and here and sharing your story. It is no easy ride doing so as the memories of the damage is sometimes just as potent as the actual experience, so I applaud you for your fortitude and strength.
When I was fifteen I left home and drifted between friends couches and the street... in that time I was introduced to the phenomenon of like attracts like. One of these experiences was a brother and sister around the same age of Dutch descent. The mother had deserted them and left them with a very abusive father in their rented home, mentally, physically and sexually... because of my situation, my anger, and the hate that drove my need to be there as a white knight and protector I fronted said father and gave him a hiding, threatening to come back if he ever touched his children again... yeah, I was fifteen, but I was a boy wrapped in a man's skin. I so wished you and your sister would have had that!
I am at least happy that Mr and Mrs D was there for you in this horrific journey, allowing you to taste the other side of life, if only for that one year. I often think of those beautiful souls who came into my life in a time of turmoil and showed me understanding, love a helping hand and compassion... if not for these people who were there in between who might have we become?
I will look forward to following your stories Lea, although I know just how many trigger points it will set off. All the very best... in my thoughts and prayers.
With our thoughts we create...
the space where light can enter.
Kindest regards,
James.

What a wonderful and kind review you've given me James I thank you so much for it and I'm honored to receive this and your fine rating too we have some fun insight and some valid points that are very clear and personal to me so thank you for that! I appreciate your very poetic style of writing too beautifully written well done touched on many points thank you again so very much I feel continue to write there's a book prior to this one in my portfolio it's called ghost starts from birth until I was roughly 17. I would say it has some disturbing chapters in it though and would be remiss if I didn't point that out thank you again so very much for this wonderful review have a great evening!

If you were able to stay there for a year, that is wonderful. Lord knows you needed a year of peace. It was time something good happened in your lire. When you were away from you family, no one ever bothered to look for you are to wonder wheree you were. I"m am anxious to find out if you've had any luck finding out who your father is or was.

Lea, I've recently gotten caught up on your book, and I am hooked. Your courage and honesty behind every word is what captivates readers. I am so sorry for what you've been through. Please know that your story is so important, and a gift of release to readers who may be able to relate to this struggle, but haven't found a way to express the painful memories. I applaud you for sharing this, and I look forward to future chapters!

Comment from Claire Tennant
This terrible experience, one of many it seems, was conveyed beautifully. The reader can sense your pain but would not know it unless he/she has been through it. I liked the balance between the explanation of fear and the comfort Mrs B brought, as well as the concern the child had about being sent back. I did not enjoy the tale for obvious reasons, but cannot fault the work involved.
