Your father was in heart. I wonder...if your mother sensed your true feelings at the time. My parents have been together over 50 yrs, and it's funny how they'll defend and complain about each other in the same breath. I've probably taken them for granted far to long.
For losing a loved one, someone close, I haven't experienced, that's not any easy subject, but it happens to us all...

How horrible for you. Your mother must have felt she was doing the best for herself and her family, but I would have felt the same way as you without previous warning.

I like the writes as is, but what are these other links about. They're not coments, and I presumed they were extentions of your thought, and part of your proper peice.

Hi, just visiting back. Little confused because anything can't be everything, so I don't know what these other links have to do with what and who you are in relationship to the world/universe, which I would presume we are both within.
My question is that if you want to to "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...." would you rather bring a film crew into film the inconsequential, or write a novel? A novel would have to begin with the notion that something is consequential, even if it doesn't appear to be. So the only idea, here, is if we are going to begin with dramatic action or not. Look it,if you have a story in yourself, nobody else can tell it but you.
More basic to this is a simple premise: Whether or not you believe in Truth. If there is no truth, then everything is its own panarama, so why should I travel from one site to the next, looking for what?
You seem to presume there is something here I might take note of--ok, what? Now, it's not that I'm not open to non-conceptual art, but how would I know you have that instinct?
I'm open, so why not just bring me into your concept and approach to things? I'm ready to listen.

Sometimes kids have the best instincts
and we as adults would be better off to listen to them. This sounds like the beginning of a very challenging period for you

I wondered what led to your arrival to America. Now I am getting the "beginning" as to why.

It is indeed a sad thing when you don't feel right about the man who is supposed to be a father figure. Thank you for sharing Tzippy and stopping by.

I don't know what I would have done in that situation. I am also glad that I did not have to endure anything like that. My heart continues to go out to you

So awful, that feeling of impending doom and helplessness.
I spent most of my conscious childhood in that frame of mind, from the age of nine. At least I didn't have the devil stepfather to deal with.

It must have been a harrowing experience to have a
strange man thrown suddenly into the mix.

Hello Tzippy
How hard it can be at times when things simply go out of our control, and no equation seems to be settling. Problems, I think come on horseback but go away on foot. Everything will be all right in time, I wish to God.

It's very hard to deal with things when they are out of your control.
My whole childhood was a hell...yet in a very different way than from the things you have experienced.

wow you were very intuitive at that young age, sorry that happened to you. That is one reason I never really could find a man that would accept me and my kids especially having such a young child at my age. Men expect to be the center of attention and don't like children interfering with that.

Sorry that happened...you must have had an intuition about the person.

This brings back memories of my own - only in my case it wasn't a step(father), it was a step(mother)...
