How does this happen?

My mother loved my sister but hated her children....hated me but loved my son?

My sister went to school dressed sharp in her Catholic uniform...I, on the other hand, had a sagging bow, and my pleats were ironed out and the skirt shinny.....I looked like a vagabond...

I tell every one to see Boxing Helena...it is my life...I used to claim unless he cut off my arms and legs I am responsible for my own actions..

Well he cut off my arms and legs..not actually, figuratively...

no running water...we have to depend on him for water...no transportation...he purchases all food....and I used to cook food and clean up...then he refused to bring me water from the basement...and empty dirty water in the yard...(cut off my arms)

Nowadays when you call the police they show up in GI gear ready to kill someone...I don't want that.

I cannot say I love him, but I do care that he lives and has a life...

tho i have spent time stuck back there, i think i am just wondering where my strength went.
cops arent the only ones out there who can help extricate you.
but if you think it could end up that way, i would to read that as you fearing that he can be dangerous and irrational.
yes, we see the occasional front page splash. but that doesnt mean that there is no chance of hope that you will get help. in fact there is a quite high chance that there is help for you.
i dont know your situation, so i wouldnt know what might apply.

but you dont deserve this.
get out.
