memoir of what I experienced 10 years ago

the very worst memory of them all-
I've tried to forget, but can't. When this happened I realized I had hit rock bottom.


He & I were in the bedroom, door closed, locked.

I come out later, only to see my little girl, sitting on the couch, alone. TV was off, there was nobody else around.

I don't know why this was the case. I don't know what I thought she was doing or where I thought she was. I couldn't tell you. But the fact is, she was there, all alone.



I went over and sat down beside her. She looked at me and said,
"Mommy.....am I loveable?"



Does a child ever ask this? What has gone so terribly wrong that my own child has to ask me this question.

Sometimes we need a wake-up call. I like the vision create by the description. Children are honest and direct. We need to listen and protect. Thank you for the excellent chapter.
