Well Mitch, it seems to be moving faster now as you get more into the story. I look forward to the next chapter, where you go after this part. Thank you for sharing like this. I'm sure it is a two-edged sword. Hard to talk about because of the pain, but the other side, easy to talk about because you are dealing with so much pain and getting rid of it. hugs and peace, dear Mitch.

It is hard in many different ways C.J . Then next part , In advance , Is most likely what screwed me up the most . Once you read it you will understand . Yet I really didn't know what drs did to me at that point was illegal .Until I saw a special on pbs about 6 years ago on the Thorazine experiment on teens . It was made illegal way before i was on it . hugs and peace to you c j . thanks for reading my post

Mitch: You showed wisdom in telling Jodi, she did not need another, she needed to look inwardly.

You were beginning to acquire wisdom.

You tried to rescue a woman in trouble with an abuser in Central Park, only, in your alcoholic unconscious state, to be battered severely yourself.

And then, no help to the 15-year-old, not even from the police, but only confinement, and checking your legal status.

I bet the cops had few questions about the brutes that battered you! Probably none. Not that you personally could have answered questions.

My goodness, you have real endurance to survive those ordeals.

You have my admiration in overcoming monstruous trauma to grow into a strong person with compassion towards others!

Hi Armand . They never asked me if i was beaten , not that i could even describe anyone .I was out like a light from to much drinking , unless the first hit knocked me out I knew nothing till morning . In my case at that point yes I wanted to live, yet at other times not so much . I just kept thinking about my dad , and he never gave up until the end . So yes endurance i guess or dad looking over me . peace to you Armand

Man, you lived such a fast life at such a young age. I am sorry that that happened to you. I really feel bad for you. I wonder why the cop did not believe that you were a runaway. He must have known all the local runaways or something. I am surprised they did not take you to see a doctor either. You were all bloodied there could have been something wrong with you, medically.

At that point in time , Not sure cops rally cared . Many came and left hurt , because of so many fights . With me they might of thought he passed out from drinking and hurt himself . I will never know . As for not believing I was a run away I think 2 things played into that 1 Even though i passed out i seemed to know where i was headed 2 the amount of money i still had on me . Thanks for reading it . Lique hugs and peace

Oh, Mitch. I had a small hope your life would improve a little having a safe place, as safe as you’d ever had, with the girls. I’m sad I was so wrong. With each story your courage evolves, but I am afraid to read the next part based on your hints. ❤️
