Analysis of Slaughter by daughter



No begging the judge Not to send her to prison, just tell the truth& let it be his decision. A short time in jail, they set you free, you begged & pleaded to live with me. Into my world you stepped in, we made it easy for you to begin. Your new life, on the right track, Id to to work, then come back. There was nothing you did lack. Then I got the stab in the back.  Literally walked in with pants down, you & him made me the clown. Next thing I know my stuff's on the ground, there was no empathy to be found. I'm out on the street, you moved into my seat. My heart has been slaughtered,  I lost him, I lost you, I lost my home, I lost everything I have known. My mind is blown, I'm all alone, in total confusion, and I wonder how& why any daughter could do this kind of slaughter. I'm so sorry I had you for a daughter

Lost my son when he was 22. My daughter is wicked & hateful. I cut her from my life. I live in novato california, it's a very hard time to be left alone. My pain& anger is a lot of what I write, to vent, this way I avoid confrentation which leads to no where. Not when dealing with people that do not know how to communicate and are not concerned about you, only concerned with themselves and the outcome they want at that given moment. Selfish, self centered, too immature to take responsibility for their actions. On paper I write what I'm feeling and there are no reprocussions for saying how I see it or feel it & the numbskulls just keep going round and round with their lack of ability to handle situations calmly and move past their limited thinking. As for me, I like to listen, I like to grow, be open to what's outside the box and not be ignorant. In this world we live in, there is no excuse for ignorance. We are in the information age. more…
