Nightmares

My father never did like me. He said I was a mistake. It's not my fault I was born. I wasn't the one to get mum pregnant.
Dad wanted a boy. Someone who would look up to him. Someone who would share his interests. Someone to keep the family name.
Well, it looks like I'll be keeping the family name, as I've been forbidden to marry the one person who accepts me. Forbidden to be happy. As soon as I'm 18, I'm changing my name, so he won't recognise me. So people won't associate me with him. I have it all planned out. I'll call myself "Megan J Parker." The "J" standing for Jane, my grandmothers name.
