BUY BARBITAL NO PRESCRIPTION

...slurred rage fill the home...
...thirst for order and control...
...Memories erased
I love you, mom.

I want to hear this song aloud, with the anger, the pain, then the justice seeking passion, the love, the end of the dark and the beginning of a new memory, taking over the newly blank slate. David, please, keep dreaming and making your own reality, make your music, and guide others to your world of absolute certainty in good because of your understanding of evil and what it takes to become the best and leave the rest. You will inspire my little sisters who listen to and read of other young people, enjoy their lyrics, their way of life...you will inspire them and many, no doubt!

Thank you, David, for your healing voice, your honesty, and your choice everyday.

Thank you for this. You speak for all innocent children who stand by and don't know how to help. It was very powerful.

Amazing. While I'm sorry you and your mother went through this, your strength and your love for your mother humble me.

David, all the stories I read on here are completely new to me. I have no experience with domestic violence and I am shocked every time I read. I feel
saddened that you had to watch all your mom went through. It is awful that you had to bear these horrible things.

Oh David,
I'm truly moved by the power of your words and the power you have to transform tragedy into art.
Keep writing,

KC

I'm truly impressed by your clarity of vision at your tender age, and your talent in articulating it so beautifully. I know that this is hard to write, and brings up memories for days and days after.
You are in my heart.

bravo, David. Bravo.

You are an amazing person. I'd be proud if my son (s) turned out half as thoughtful as you.

I'm just amazed and awed by you.

Wow. Just awesome, David. You're an amazing young man.

This sort of thing is the reason I got out of a horrible marriage. Could NOT let the kids think life is supposed to be like that.

Well said, sir.

My daughter and I used to have issues with her anger, until I finally got it. She was angry at that which she couldn't control my pain, the bruises the abuse.

These days we are closer than ever.

This is profound David, people need to realize through the eyes of the child that pain is harming and frightening to them as well. It doesn't matter that the only one taking tha abuse is the parent...it's still hurting in ways people rarely recognize.

Cat, your son is learning to heal his pain through words. He's going to be a force to be heard, if not already. Thank you for sharing this...I think of all the abuse what my daughter saw, heard, felt was more damaging to my heart than anything I suffered.

Love to you both! (Hugs)Indigo

Thank you for sharing this. I'm so struck by the voice of a child.

Those are very powerful words. Our kids are tuned in way, way more than we ever give them credit for.

Oh, man. David, you are a good, good man.

Good for you, for writing, and for standing up, and for loving your Mom this much.

I'd be proud to have a son like you.

this is awesome.
i bet it felt good to punch that bastard.
good on you, mate.

HOLY SHIT, what a great piece!!!

I am really so impressed, I cried, David. I know your mom well through her writing so I had to stop by and see what she submitted, and I am glad that I did.

Please, keep writing. You are talented. You are really, really talented.

Thank you for sharing this deeply personal piece of writing. You obviously love your mom so much, and you're right - at times you probably were what kept her sane. How amazing.

David, Such power in words. It begins with the reader believing this is just a girl who you are talking about (but it's never just a girl) and when in the end you reveal it's your mother (is it so all the way through...must reread it) the impact is deep. Get it out. Use it. You've a fine talent, an unfortunate past, a bright future.

Wow.

David,

Commenting just now I'm realizing this is the first time I've commented on this site, even though it's my site. I'm always so busy talking to the contributors and promoting the posts I didn't even realize, until just now, that I've never actually commented on a post. Wow.

Anyway, thank you. Thank you for writing this. You have SUCH a gift. I hope you can always find comfort in it.

thank you, david, for sharing. i wish you hadn't needed to step in, brave boy that you are.

A part of me weeps for a kid who has to step into one parent to defend the other. That just shouldn't be. Then again, the whole situation shouldn't be.

But the love I hear in these lines... that's something truly rare. You two have a great thing going and I hope you can keep it always. I also hope that you'll be able to drop the ugliness in your wake at some point. Sounds like you've made a great start.

Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for this. Thank you so very much.

Powerful words...amazing post. Thank you for sharing yourself.

wow. that was amazing! thank you.

Wow... just, wow. I'm not sure what else to say. But thank you for sharing that... so honest and so well written.
I'm so happy to see that you and your mom have gotten out - and seem to be thriving.

Wow! Absolutely...WOW. I am crying now. David, your writing is amazing. What masterful use of language, what beautiful simplicity, directness...you moved me to tears. I'm not just being nice. This is a beautiful piece. Very powerful. Very perceptive, very moving. wow. This gift is yours. And no one can take it from you. What a beautiful gft to carry anywhere you go.

i was moved to tears -- he has "the" gift.
hugs, peace, smiles and love,

David, thanks for sharing about this. It is hard to be around people that we love who have alcohol and anger problems. Very hard. I'm glad that you and your mom have each other. And that perhaps the strength and love that you have will be enough for the dad to work on himself. Keep writing, David.

your voice is the most important one we need to hear, i believe. the child, watching, forever changed. speaking your truth is your gift to us. and your mom...i am choked up being in the presence of so much love. to encourage you to speak your truth...i am in awe of both of you.
thank you.

Wow! Powerful. Love the ending. Thank you for sharing.

Cat & David, I'm glad to know that you've engaged in family counseling and I pray that you continue in your quest for a more peaceful home environment. I pray for your husband's continued sobriety. It can be so hard to stick together as a family. It seems you're on the right path.

Bless you both for sharing your thoughts and feelings on your difficult situation.

Moving and powerful stuff. You don't always have to be the one getting hit to have domestic abuse affect you.

Please think about this if you're a parent in a violent relationship. And please, get help to get out!

Here's hoping that both David and his mom found peace and happiness. Big hugs for sharing this.

This was so powerful. Gorgeously written, and that last line nails it like a well-earned punch.

Can't believe that writing from a person not yet in his twenties. That's a bright future, waiting.

I have already shared with you what I think about this, about you and how you continue to impress and amaze me. But just in case you need a place to read- and re-read it, in case you ever doubt - I am here for you no matter what and I could not adore you more.

Keep on writing, I love you.
