That wasn't happening to me? The time my dad kicked my mum's face in. He made me and Katie stay downstairs and watch, and he kicked my mum's mounth til it bled and a couple of teeth fell out. Then he kicked her in the stomach until she stopped trying to get up. Her face was so bruised... we have the pictures somewhere that she took to court with her when they got divorced. It was nasty. Poor old Katie, I had her head in my lap as she cried with that one.

I was around five or six years old when I was visiting relatives some 100 miles away. When we came back, late at night, there was an accident down the road and I saw and old man laying on the ground , completely covered in blood. I still remember the scene after over forty years. I remember a woman walking getting close to him and crying. Seems like she knew the man because she said something about him, I don't remember what. A very impressive experience for a little kid...

My poor Buttons when he died, my Aunty had put him on the work unit in the kitchen. It felt so strange when I touched him, all cold and hard and lifeless. I kept on poking him and hoping he would get up and at least bite me and then demand more dandlions. I still have bits of flashbacks if you can call it that and I just want to cry. Fat lot of use my Aunty was making out I didn't give a crap bout him all coz I didn't cry. How can I possibly cry in front of her or my Dad when some many times before I just got the piss taken outta me for it. Oh and the worst thing I also saw the the cellar/basement at my Aunty's pervious house when my Dad told me that my Aunty had poisoned my Birthday cake as I was leaving to go home from my 7th Birthday party. I imagined myself lying dead in the cellar all alone and dis-coloured with blood coming out of my mouth.

A young girl wearing those "jelly" sandals had a car drive over her foot. I remember running up to the crowd and saw the paramedics and her the top of her foot skin was rubbed off and was "melted" and mixed with the jelly shoe. I remembered the really pink and white skin showing (she was black)with some blood coming to the surface and wondered how would they ever separate her skin from the parts of the shoe that was melted and mixed with flesh. Yeah, I was 6 and felt so bad as she was crying and being placed in the ambulance.

Riding back from the Indianapolis Airport to Lafayette (either picked up or dropped off my aunt)... On US52 the traffic slowed to a literal crawl. As we passed the accident (cops were there, and ambulances were arriving), I saw a guy, completely scraped up and bloody, holding a lady/girl, who was also completely scraped up and bloody. Back then seat belts weren't required. They'd apparently been thrown through the windshield. He was crying pretty hard, and she wasn't moving. I have NO IDEA if she made it or not. Always stuck with me. I must have been about 5, 6 or 7. I'm 53, now.
