Every time I hear one of these stories I can't help but think that my father shot my mother, years ago, and my sister and I were in bed with her. He started to just leave us and we begged him to take us with him because it was scarry by ourselves.
Just finally decided to reply, I've been reading so many of these nasty cases and I have lived 50 years since so I know some of what it can do to families for generations.
Hi Jal,
I'm sorry to welcome you to the board on this post. I'm so sorry what you had to endure as a young child and also glad you're father chose to save you and your sister's life. Just curious, did he take you w/ him and raise you?
Years ago, I worked in a children's home where this young girl had witnessed her dad shoot her mom in their garage. It was heartbreaking, but so rewarding to spend time talking and loving on this child.
You've lived a full life and must be stronger, yet hardened by your ordeal. Hugs to you!:blowkiss:
