You a frustrated author that got all those rejection slips? r r r r
But then he could be lying...he really could.
Or, when one thinks carefully about it, why would a family that
participated in brutilizing one of its own admit to it?
Denial is very much a part of the family dynamic in highly
disfunctional families...hell, it's part of any family for that

this instance, if what the author claims is true, it makes the other
family members culpable.

publication? r r r r r
You really are a Petunia.
