I don't know why I am reading this so late that I have no sixes left!! Consider a virtual six! I am so sorry for all of your misery and so glad you found a year respite with this couple. Otherwise, you may not have been able to go on with your life in any way. I so hope there were times of empathy and caring that helped you establish a reason to believe in good again. Excellent writing. ann

How wonderful they were to you. And I love the way they arrived in your life EXACTLY when you needed them most. You were soooo out of any other options, and then, like a miracle, there they were. This is a really beautiful part of your story. xo

Hello Lea,
I'm sure that once you let it all out, it must have felt good to be able to share your feelings with someone who cared. I see you spent a year with this fine family. At least you had that time to see what life could be like. Thanks for sharing this touching chapter in your life.
Blessings,
Tom

Again, I am enjoying reading this. I am glad you found people you could trust.

then angrier still that they had that power over me. (omit 'that')

Please don't call them." I pleaded. (them,")

Comment from Jim Wile
This was a very powerful and moving part to your story, Lea. The built up horror and rage and sadness and unfairness of your life came pouring out like never before in the arms of this kind lady. You presented this so well, including your poem at the beginning where you exemplify the ironies and contradictions in life which served to parallel your own contradictions--how a beautiful, talented girl could be subjected to such cruel torture and debasement through absolutely no fault of her own and how she still carried a feeling of guilt about it.
It's wonderful that you got to spend a year with this family and feel safe for once in your life, but the fact that it was only a year in all of your 17 or 18 that you were able to feel this way just underscores how cruel and difficult your life had been up to that point.
I hope your foot is healing well so there is one less negative to think about as you go through those boxes with your sisters. - Jim

I could really feel the emotion in this piece, Lea as you told your story. I can feel the concern Mrs B has for you, and I hope that they are kind to you in the following the chapters. An excellent piece.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
Six stars for excellent content! Also I liked descriptions such as this one:
Tears coming and going as they pleased, I poured out everything, all of it, right down to the dregs.
There are, of course, a few punctuation issues going on. Here is one:
I was exhausted again, sleep tried to grab me while I sat there at the table.
I would just change the comma after again to a semi-colon.
But the six star rating will still stand due to content and the overall mood this scene creates.

It's always good to have a shoulder to cry on somebody. Tell your story to somebody to understand your emotional and physical pain. Somebody to stand by your side and somebody to always hear your truth

This wonderful review too I thank you so much for your heartfelt comments that means so much to me further to my message I appreciate you stopping by reading commenting and reviewing I hope you have the best Christmas I hope your New year's was great too all the best in 2024!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
As your emotion pours out here, Lea, so too do I have a sense of huge relief and catharsis. At last you've found your much needed respite, for however long, and in the meantime you can regain some of your strength and equilibrium. You're in safe hands. I like the addition of P here who balances the emotion and stops it becoming too overwhelming. Be careful with sentences that run into each other: first 5 lines of second para. I'd be inclined to break that into 2 sentences. But this is an exceptional piece of writing. I think your foot is getting much better:) Take care Debbie x
