The big house we lived in had a old store in the front with a large window. My Dad did his work there, he fixed furniture. The house had a ceiler that you had to lift up part of the floor in the shop to get down there. I only remember a couple of times when my Mom was home during the holidays. I remember one Thanksgiving that my Mom made everything. She used her very special dishes, and her crystal glasses, we even had cream demint, after our very large meal. It is the only time i remember my Mom making such a meal while i was a kid. That house had the living room to the left of the front door, and a room with a door to the right. The room on the right was my uncle's room, and that is where he molested me. I remember we had a swing set in the back, and a garage with a room above it where pigeons were kept. We also had a white wolf/shepard named pooch, and he was always chained up outside. This house was across from a bar, so my parents went there a lot. I remember when my 2nd brother, and my older sister wanted to get away from home, they would make plans with another girl that we all knew, she would bring her younger sister, whom i am still friends to this day, any way we all would get together, us two younger girls were brought so the others wouldn't get into trouble, and we would ether go to the corn silos to catch pigeons, or we snuck out at night, down the lilac tree, and to the hospital to get cigarettes out of the ashtrays. It seemed like when we got caught i would get the worst punishment. I don't really know for sure, but my 2nd brother, and my older sister seemed to get special treatment. My 2nd brother got in trouble all the time, and would always bring me along with him, so i was always in trouble too. I don't remember if he was molesting me then, but he ended up being sent away to a boy's center. Well that's enough memory for today, see i warned all of you, that it was just a start. The more i type, the more i remember, and i am only at about 7to 8 years old. Thank you all for hanging in there with me, i think doing this might help some.
