Note: happy new year to everyone, i hope it's a good year for us all. Just a warning this chapter gets pretty deep and there will be a bit of violence mentioned. Here is a little piece to set the tone.
"Darkness we breathe lives deep in the soul, it's presence means no harm, untreated it burns, leaving doubt and fear in its wake"
Abby's parents really didn't play much part in the shaping of Abby's personality or her in general. Their rejection of care and love hurt so much more than physically possible, one thing kept Abby going was her ability to show a side that held so much sass that sometimes she would lose herself and forget about the issues in her life. Sam Abby's father rarely remembered her birthday or anything special in her life. When a child grows up lonely and cut-off the scars left are like un healed wounds of war. As a young child she wasn't meant to be in the girly girl category, it happened because she needed the cover for when things got tough and unbearable. At primary school, she'd wake up to a empty house, morning duties included getting her own breakfast and doing light make up at the age of 10. The only contact she had with her parents was a phone call after school where she'd let her mum Melanie know what came in the post. This became normal for Abby she also got used to her parents coming home at like 8 or 9 at night when she would be heading for bed. When things got bad for her parents it got bad pretty quick. Abby knew about how Sam was restricted to coming to Abby's christening and how her father resents his wife's sisters. Abby knows no love or affection, she basically bathes in anger and it's a dark place to live for a childhood. What Abby has heard and saw will forever be locked in memory. Abby would regularly push people away because she felt so broken that having people around made it worse, Abby also thought letting people in would make her weak. This is the point that changed her life, wall were built so high nobody could get through unless the faith and trust was present, her emotions were frozen, the became unimportant and a waste of energy.
Wow, this was difficult, thank you to everyone who reads this story, I sincerely hope you like it, there is few details I left out as they bring pain unimaginable. Opinions are welcome.
