sexual abuse were the norm in my family. I was punched, had broken hands, black eyes. My father aimed a hunting rifle at my head and
told me that he was going to blow my brains out because my siblings wouldn't be quite and told him to leave it be. I was a pimple faced
_hore constantly by my brother as he straddled me punching the shit out of me as my mother closed the windows so the neighbors
wouldn't hear, that when I got punched in the breasts. My parents sat in the dining room and watched. I had my baby teeth knocked out
by my mother and kicked across the kitchen floor at my grandmother's home. I stayed at my grandmother's every Saturday as she lived
across the street of the church and while giving me a bath, she would wash in a place that she shouldn't. I thought it was normal-that is
how they do it in the old county. I never said anything until 45 years later. My mother said "And" I pay my way through college and for
my wedding through scholarships and loans. I was smart. I ranked 30th out of a class of 700, I saw doctors for infections, was seen
by teachers with black eyes and bruises. Never told I was loved. or pretty or smart or talented. I was taught to obey my parents. When I
found out I was infertile my mother said God punished me. I adopted a baby-they called him a _astard. There were are no pictures of
me, my husband or my child.in their home. I could go on about the personal abuse. When my husband found out he had
Malignant Cancer last summer , I was told that "Everyone dies, get over it. No cards, calls or fruit for Rich. This was after we
spent an entire month driving my sister From Westmoreland County to Pittsburgh. I could go on about the abuse, there was way
more. Instead of setting money away for my brother and sister who live at home, It was spend spent at the slot machines. My
mother and sister still claims she has uterine cancer, even though she had a hysterectomy. She was Fired in July as a nurses aid and
I am expected to pay for house bills as my sister and mother refuse to take aid from the government. ==SSI Medical, Snap. as it is
my responsibilitty as the Bible says to care for your siblings. Rich called this evening and said he would help with the SS portal. My
mother said no, Debbie will care of them. I am sick. I just finished crying. My husband is here, so not to worry But the pain that those
remaining three gave me is far more then I state here. Thank you for reading through this, I am sorry but I am confused, bitter and so
tired of it all. Sorry this is so long. Love you all.Deb.
