"Sweetie, this isn't your fault. We're just going to send you to your aunt's for a few days, please stop crying, you'll come back, I promise. Just go to sleep. We leave in the morning."
I watched as a memory from my childhood replayed right in front of me. As my mother left my old childrens room, I watched as curious 5 year old me crept out of bed and walked into the hallway.
"This child is evil! I can't stand to look at her anymore."
I heard my mother's voice, full of fear.
"The things I hear from her teacher and the parents from that school-"
I heard my father interrupt her.
"But is sending her away a good idea?"
This horrible memory...the memory they don't know I experienced...
They never knew I witnessed that conversation.
They didn't know I always knew how they felt about me.
I was only five, but even then I understood.
I was sent to live with my mother's sister, my aunt Laura.
She was disgusted by me.
I was there for weeks on end, unlike the few days my mother promised.
This horrible memory, is one I wish I could forget.
