After our family...

mysteriousponyqueen asked,
To Gillies,
After our family, what? How did you feel about the adoption issue? Do you think that perhaps if you were adopted you would have a better life? How did you find out anyway? You were LUCKY you got FIFTY lashes?! What if you were unlucky? How old were you then? You say that your parents were strictly Catholic, but I disagree, for if they were real decent Christians, they wouldn't had done such horrible things to there own flesh and blood... Honestly who CUTS there son?! And bondage? You mean they tied you and did... that to you...? How old were you when you thought about killing them? Would you kill them right now? How old were you when they took you to those parities? Did they ever berate you for drinking?
Did you have pets as a boy? When you went to bed, were you cold and lonely? Did you ever cry yourself to sleep? Did you ever lose it with your parents and lashed out with them? Where did you receive those lashes? How did your parents take you to church? Did they make you read the bible?
P.S.
Do you have any siblings?

By after our family, she meant after I left, my parents excessed her.
About the adoption issue... It hurt... It was like someone got a knife and slashed me. I don't think I would've been happier I've seen inside orphanages, nobody's happy, I wouldn't have bee any better.
I found out by, listening. I was snooping around the house and I heard them talking about it I put my ear up to the door and listened.
And yes fifty lashes was lucky I could have been whipped until I passed out or something worse. I don't know what that was but that's what they told me, before they put me to "sleep", I'd say I was about eleven. Yes they did chain me before the lashings, but my parents said they were Catholic, but for some reason I never believed them.
I'd say the first party I went to I was about fifteen, they didn't care if I drank.
I never had pets, I'd had always wanted a Rabbit, but they said animals were disgusting. I asked for one but they said no.
I-I would always cry myself to sleep, I never had goodnight kisses or a glass of warm milk, I didn't have a bear ether. My room was one of the drafty ones, so it was always very cold.
I never lashes out with my parents I was to afraid.
I actually don't know where I received my lashes, for I was blindfolded.
I never went to church with my parents, they didn't want to take me, I never read from the bible either.
And no I was a only child.
