Let's see, I'm doing this in point form like Chibi.
-My mother went to the Carribean and had a miserable time because she was puking every few minutes. She thought it was the water and was shocked to realized she was pregnant!
-I guess ultrasounds weren't accurate back then because the tech. told my parents I was going to be a boy!
-My mom firmly believed I was going to be a boy and apparently argued with Dad when he kept saying that he KNEW I was going to be a girl. She argued that she had female intuition.
-I was born January 1986. I was a girl and the doctors thought there was somethin wrong because I wasn't moving or crying. Turns out I was sound asleep!
- Dad won $50.00 from Mom because of the whole girl thing. He asked for payment before they left the delivery room.
- I've been told by several members of my family that I never cried during the night. Dad says he can't remember me crying for anything at all until I was over one years old.
- On the day my sister was born, when I was three years old, my nan took me to a ship christening. I was apparently dismayed whan we came back and there was a new person sleeping in MY crib.
-Was bullied through out primary and elementary school. My parents spoiled me rotten so I was 200 pounds before I hit grade six. I remember a group of boys knocking me down and rolling me into a ditch full of muddy and algae.
-Dad tells me that the bullying only made me more determined. I was friendly to the people who made fun of me, self depreciating in my humour and also approachable. By the time grade six came around the bullying had lessened. It just wasn't fun for them.
-My mother died on September 22, 1998. My Dad was at a Lions Club meeting. The whole day she had been complaining of heart burn but that wasn't unusual..every few weeks she'd get uncontrollable heart burn. I was lying in bed when I heard a weird...gasping..struggling noise. I thought mom was blowing up the air mattress, perhaps my Uncle has come to visit as he often does. I didn't know what I was actually hearing.
- I've never been able to forget it...or get over the guilt.
- Dad came home and the house was live but suddenly deadly. He wouldn't let me in the room they were in. My sister woke up, telling us all to be quiet because she has school in the morning. I knew something was wrong so I ran across the street to a cops house. He wasn't home.
-I swore at my Dad for the first time ever when he came back from the hospital.
-I can't tell you about the next few days. Its blur of faces and people and pity.
-In October Dad decided I needed a math tutor now that Mom was gone. The tutor was distant and would roll her eyes at me when I struggled. She would tell me that I should know such basic concepts by now.
-January 1st 1999 I woke up and found her wearing ONLY my fathers shirt, sitting in our kitchen. She smirked at me and told me that SHE would have never painted the kitchen walls green.
-My mother had only painted the walls green in August.
- She started dating dad and stopped totouring me. She told dad, in front of me, that I was a lost cause.
- Dad sold the house...she sold hers...we all moved in together.
- She immediately told Dad I wasn't allowed to have a bed room on the top floor. I was given the basement room. That was fine. I knew she didn't like me and I didn't like her.
- She started swearing and cursing in way I never heard at me. Telling twrrible things about my Mom and Dad. Telling me...well..awful things about myself.
- He daughter, who was 7 or 8 at the time, pinched me so hard when I wouldn't let her outside with out asking her mom first that she drew blood. I had to smack her hand away. She began to nawl and called her.
-When Dad and Her got home she beat me me brutally. I had two black eyes and my ear lobe ripped.
-Dad asked me a few days later 'What did you learn?' while gesturing to the bruises. I stared at him....and he started to cry.
- I tried to kill myself after her daughter had a tantrum when they left her with me. She was saying that she was going to tell her mom I hit her. I hadn't. I went to my bed room and tried to cut my wrists. My sister called the cops and they came. I hasn't done much damage..just a few scartches where I was trying to get up nerve.
- She and Dad came home. She looked at me and the cops and said 'Why would you do this us?' Dad began screaming at her. That she knew very well why I would want to do this. The cops told him to calm down. I cried because it made Dad look like a monster while the real one was feigning tears across from me. After the cops left she told me she would cock a gun for me, if I really wanted to be out of her hair.
-Dad left with my sister and I that night. That was beginning of the end of a two year night mare. We lived with my Aunt and Uncle while Dad contacted lawyers.
- Dad threw her out of the house they lived in. She stabbed him with a knife and he beat her off. He went to the hospital nad called the cops. The next morning she showed up at police station in a tank top in short skirt to show off the bruises he had left on her. The cops told her that Dad had already filed against her and arrested her as there was a wittness. She hit the cop.
- She got off because Dad didn't want to ruin her daughters life.
- She left our lives...taking moms jewellery with her. Dad saw this as a ploy on her part to get him to talk to her again. He asked me if he should suer her...I told him it was just things. I didn't want to say that but it seemed the right thing to do.
-She is a junior high school teacher. She still teaches to this day. She stalks my little sister sometimes and tries to get her fired from her jobs. That always seemed insane to me as she never tried to seek me out.
- Dad met a nicer lady who I am no prod to call my (legally!) adoptive mother.
- Went thruogh high school as a ghost...drifting between social circles..everyone knew me but now in the preppygirl/jock popular kind of way. They just knew I existed and had things to say.
- Met Blue.
-Graduated.
- Tried university a few times but could never figure what I wanted to do.
- Married Blue.
- Had a baby.
Cop out ending. Things have happened but I am tired of typing.
