What a sad childhood you had. I'm sorry you didn't have the loving, guiding parents that was your right to have. But I'm glad you have finally come through it all and now with your experiences in life, you can really help others. This must have been hard for you to wright. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xxx

Sandra, the honest truth is never hard to face. I would never change an hour, a minute or even a second. In my case, I believe this all build in me a strong character and deep faith in the Divine, I am a lucky man!

Wow I truly loved the honesty and the brutality told in such a way to elicit emotions. Descriptions are very well done and I found no problems. I am proud to know you

Comment from Tami Urbanek
Very well written piece! Though I think it's Strangers not Stranger's.
You painted a picture of your parents and their impact on your personality and life. Your ability to move forward and seek therapy speaks volumes as many will simply sit in their pain and point fingers to those whom they blame.

Comment from Susan X Smith
This is a fascinating story especially because my mother, too, was from Antrim. My father was from Cavan and the two met in England where I was born. Raised in New York, with mostly Jewish friends, I lost touch with my roots. You tell a most interesting tale, although a sad one. I have come to think that most families are dysfunctional. Thanks for the read.

Comment from Liz Mason
Wow! And I thought my short years of marriage were bad enough. I certainly did not give thought as you have done to how his family gave him his Jekyll and Hyde character. I wish I had, but then I wouldn't have married him, or would I?
I was impressed how you got help from a therapist and in the end did find a way to thrive. Never even considered the point of a 'stranger' in my life, but I do now.

Hello.
A wee surreal piece. I was curious to read it, for as a Buddhist, I really wanted to see how it would play out.
It was an interesting read. I struggled a bit at times, somehow needing a bit more bridging between 'lives'.

From your perspective I totally do understand. My walk is on the fringes of eastern and western religious beliefs. I do, however, fully believe that I own the need to learn my life lessons in this place and time now and I attempt to do so daily in my mediation and centering prayer. Thank you for taking the time to read my submission.

hi
that's just so cool. I do much the same, and it can be a wonderful road and a confusing way and sometimes just a bit much. But mostly I am curious about it all...
thanks for the posting, it has made me think and that dear writer is such a gift!
