1st street central point Oregon. Easter Morning. We lived around the corner of a church. We went to the holy roller shack and I was terrified! Mama was still so sick from almost losing her arm. Daddy was drunk and abusing her._____ Sometimes we don't want to heal.. Because pain is the only connection we have left to those we love. It's the only way I have to ever see my children again! I can't do this anymore! I JUST WANT TO GO HOME! Finally made a bed he loves!! Pissed all over my beautiful bed! I finally owned a nice bed! Please take care of them! I'm leaving you plenty for this! Do something!
