I'm so very proud of you for writing this.
Hello Watty's,
I may not be included in this TRUE story of April's past but I can tell you it is very real and true. I lived in the same nightmare we both call life. Everyday screenplay writers struggle to come up with stuff most people only imagine.
Before April's mother came into the picture I was the object of this abuse that her father calls nothing or they deserved it. I too need to write but my trauma is not bearable at this point in my life.
I just read this for the first time ever. Without any doubt April is one of the survivors of this story. Her brothers and mother all share the same memory just in their own personal way, I myself included. Regrettably I LEFT three months prior to that Christmas that has changed her life and mine forever.
It is in the words of this story that I find out just how close to death I really was that year. Today I still suffer from that abuse. I want the honor of saying to this Beautiful, Talented Writer you did a wonderful job. Keep writing the story does not end here nor does it include everything, does it?
Just for the record that teacher should be fired, or at least a little more thoughtful of what she is speaking to her students these days.
