Oh Mitchell, you did it again, tore my heart out. I see the dignity that you possessed even at 14 still resides in you. I hope you hear Jerry’s voice loud & clear over all the rest. And I imagine that all who know you reinforce your worth and value on a daily basis. You would be a great friend to know.
I suffered this kind of indignity and more from not one, but two step-fathers. I still hear their voices even as others try to drown them out. It’s hard.
Susan,
Not one but two stepfathers like that! Jeez! My father was a good man, very popular, respected, responsible. It made it even more difficult to process when I was a kid. And I can’t believe that I STILL hear that voice in my head.
