My Heart Hurts

I woke in the middle of the night after having gone to bed very early. I found a movie on Netflix and proceeded to watch. This was a movie about two young girls having to go and live with a wicked woman after losing their parents in a car crash. One sister, the younger was in leg braces from that very same accident. The older sister a pretty 13 year old.

The home she lived in now had four brothers and two girls. Ages from 9 to 14. This was a foster home and the woman was paid to house, feed and protect. Instead this evil woman made it her lifes work to torture this young girl. There was mental manipulation, then beatings. On to the withholding of food to be followed up with the beating of her handicapped sister and the molesting of the younger.

This was not the end , only the beginning. They, the woman and with her urging employed the other children to participate. They proceeded to tie her up as on a rack, stretched , stripped and cut. She was raped and mutilated to finally die.

This hurt me so badly I wish I had never seen this. I weep right here and now as I think of this and the evil involved . This was told from the perspective of a young boy that tried to help her but alas was too late. Thirty years on he carried his failure , never to be forgotten and to haunt him forever on. After watching this I feel I may never get this from my mind.

There are some writers on this site that know the nature of this behavior first hand and of course still carry that harm and pain with them. I hurt for them as well. The inhumanity exhibited in this sorrowful world is a murderer. A killer of the spirit and soul! A molester of childhood. The rapist of hope and dreams. Turning wonderful thoughts of the young to lifetime nightmares , if they survive that is. I see a great deal of dark writing here and from all over the world. I wonder just how widespread is this foul, abhorrent thief of innocence.

Many of us have suffered in many ways and that is apparent from what we write but this movie which was based on a true story tore me up inside . My heart is broken and hurts incredibly. My soul has been tainted and now tortured.
