[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 642510, member: 17461"] I think my mom could be a version of a sociopath, MWM. She kicked and strangled and threatened with heat. Not naked flame, but electric heaters or stove burners. She was home alone with my then two year old youngest brother one day. He came down with a full flesh burn on his lower calf. Her story was that he'd thrown a temper tantrum and gotten his leg caught under the gas water heater in the kitchen. His shrieking could not be distinguished from the cries of a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, so she said. The eerie thing about all this is that I feel dangerously exposed in relating this story. That is how deep the secrets run, for all of us. I will go through a time now, where I feel badly about myself for "telling." I will wonder whether I am lying. That is how it always is. But part of me wants to tell and tell and tell it. Cedar [/QUOTE]
