I Hate My Mother - Mom Hammers It Home - Part B

As normal as a night’s milking could go, this night was perfect. I had everything done and cleaned up by eight. I thought about going to the house to grab something to eat, but it took my mind back to what was happening with the cows. It wasn’t dark yet, but I grabbed the flashlight and headed to...

I Hate My Mother - Mom Hammers It Home - Part A

Mom Hammers It Home I’m going to tell you a most frightening story of how I got one of the most prominent scars mom put on my body. It was a hot and humid July day in 1965. The only good thing about this story is that I don’t remember most of it. I was just shy of being twelve, and I was spending a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Haystack Incident - Part C

At fifteen, I stood at five feet, seven inches, and I outweighed her by at least seventy-five pounds. I was used to moving twelve-hundred-pound cattle around, so I figured I had an advantage. Little did I know how wrong I was. I ran to the assault scene and got myself between her and my brothers.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Haystack Incident - Part B

Things with my mom were coming to a boil, and I went out of my way to avoid her as much as possible. I had a rage inside me that was approaching the rage she carried in her. Staying away from her was the best solution to avoiding more conflict. The beating of the younger children continued, but mom... Sign in to see full entry.

The Haystack Incident - Part A - 760 words

The Haystack Incident You may not believe it, but I have sat here, staring at the computer screen for almost an hour before I could write anything, but eventually, I did. This was one of the last major abuse incidents that happened before I left home permanently, but I will fill you in on that day... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Part Four - Who Ate My Donut? (1030 words)

Who Ate My Donut? The last thing I want to do is make you think I was the only kid in the family who was the subject of abuse. When it came to “discipline,” my mom was an equal opportunity abuser. She beat all six of us. As I look back with many more things in perspective than I ever knew back then,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Hold The Bus - Part C (345 words)

After my father died in 1994, I asked myself the same question so many people asked me. “Why didn’t he stop the abuse?” I was still in the grief process of his sudden and unexpected death, but I couldn’t answer the question - why didn’t he stop her? It took me several weeks to come to terms with the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Hold The Bus - Part B (1100 words)

No couple ever was 100% agreeable 100% of the time, but a good couple will understand that and forgive each other. My wife of 47 years was a wonderful woman who knew I was flawed, and despite some of the crazy things I did, she worked with me, and we made things work. On the flip side, someone had...

I Hate My Mother - Hold The Bus - Part A (864 words)

Hold The Bus - Let’s Talk Again I’m sure by now, you have questions. Many questions. I knew that would happen. I lived through all of this, and I still have questions. The first thing we need to do is consider the period this story began. As much as people would want you to believe that the 50s and... Sign in to see full entry.

How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You? Part C (1065 Words)

Humiliated In Every Sense of the Word I had barely gotten off the bus at school the next morning when my friend approached me and asked, “What did your mom say?” I made a face and told him I couldn’t go because I had work to do. He told me “that’s not fair, and you should tell her that.” Yeah,... Sign in to see full entry.
