| At my house, things are a little different....

At my house, we do things differently. Its a very...stormy place, shall we say. With five brothers and sisters, and a single dad, and single uncle to live with, to say the least we get on one anothers nerves. All of my siblings are party animals, which, my dad and uncle gladly agree to. I mean, they dont' care. My dads an alcoholic, and my uncle's just...strange. He spends most of his time in the barn with the horses. Which is good, because it gives me some sort of privacy. With all these people at my house, it's hard to find privacy. My father.. he isn't the best of dads. Not since mom died when i was six. I don't remember much about him before that, but my brothers say he was nice. He's not nice anymore. He's mean, and cruel, and hard. I don't know how he got that way, but he did. What makes me really sad is that I don't remember him ever being nice to me or my brothers and sisters. Not even to my uncle, although they joke around sometimes, but only when they're drunk.
I just don't know how to deal with all of this stuff... i've been taken away, put in foster homes... some of the foster homes were abusive, but none as bad as my house. It's not a home anymore it's a house. It has nothing to do with the people living in it. It's just a place to find shelter from the outside of the world, but, sometimes, you need shelter from the inside. |

How is it in such a horrid situation you are able to write a journal here? Or was all that in the past? It sounds like a novel about a girl and her black horse riding away from an abusive home in the tall grass on a stormy night. Amazing what the blocked mind comes up with at night.

In regards to that outrageous comment, brainstormer, you can't know much about the world. I'm an avid writer, and find it is easier to write on the computer, and share my thoughts with others, than write in a journal, and have my family read it. Most of things are in the past, brainstormer.

Well, parDON MOI! I may not be too bright, but ahm gonna take a shot at dat worrrd outrageeous and tink you meant it in a negateeve waaay...yup.
How would anyone know you were an avid writer? And, your family would sneak a peek at a paper journal but not an online one? You think its better for hundreds of strangers to "see you naked" than your family? Well, thanks at least for identifying the past. Of course it is easier to type and delete than write and erase. Just a shame it has to be harder on the eyes.
