The Favorite
No...no...not like me...like her...just like her.
I want to be just like her!
She's nice...smart...not like me!
I want to be just like her!
No...no...don't hurt her...don't hurt her!
I have to be just like her!
She's nice...smart...not like me!
I have to be just like her!
No...leave her alone...don't hurt her!
You have to pick me...I'm the one!
She's nice...smart...not like me!
I have to be her!
No...leave her alone...keep away!
You have to pick me...I'm the one!
She's nice...smart...not like me!
I am her...for you! Just leave her alone.
No...leave me alone...keep away.
I won't tell...leave her alone!
She's nice...smart...not like me.
Pick me...just don't hurt her.

OMG...Mom...
I hated being the one always picked until one day, much later on, I found out I wasn't the only one being picked. But then, who does one tell? Who could one tell? And who cleans up the mess and picks up the pieces? This one cuts deep and I know THAT feeling all to well.
Your Hugging Brat
You ARE a Troublemaker
After reading your The Favorite I'm troubled. Troubled by the human condition that doesn't do enough to stamp out the sexual abuse of children. Troubled by an inability to soothe your pain. Troubled by the insensitivity that permeates or world.
You've been labeled passive-aggressive and overly moralistic . . . and threatened with shunning. All I can do is echo Bill and Bobby.

Ahhh Sis,
This retelling hurts so much. I just commented on Khadijah's story of childhood horrors. So much pain; it's making me sick. I hate it. Brutalizing and violating children is just so disgusting. No wonder those pedaphiles are murdered in prison. I'm ashamed to be in the same species that they are.
Try and hang in there and get better, like I know you are.
Hugs and Bright Blessings,
Renee

"Liar!"
Yes he was. I'm truly sorry for what you had to endure, sis.
Super hugs.
