i learned early on that i could tell a lot by looking in somebody's eyes. i could "see" how bad things were going to get by the look in my mother's eyes and the way she walked. hard thing is, if you looked down while being scolded, you'd get a slap with , "look at me when i'm talking to you". if you looked her in the eye, you'd get a slap for being "impertanant" (spelling) i should look that up, i dont' really even know what that means, lol. veiled is right, just looking for an excuse.

Veiled, no feelings hurt don't worry. And yes I know exactly what your saying. I don't know how to really explain it but I feel like that little child still only trapped in an adult body. Accepting it, hard problem. I want to overcome, I really do just lost.

Cookie my dad was the same way. I just learned to shut up keep my head down and pray it would be over soon. I still do that now.

Ahh, the quiet mode, thats when you knew they were thinking of a horrible way of punishment. Walking on egg shells because you didn't know when it was going to come or what was going to happen. Pardon the experssion but the shit was going to hit the fan and hard.

When you understand you are in no way at fault you can move to grieve for that little child and let "her" go. It will help you move forward.
