the first boy ran away from home quite a lot. eventually he was taken to live with some people. he was told he was in care. but in fact he was out of care. no-one cared very much at all. so he ran away from there too. he met a man. unfortunately for the boy this man was a bad man. he stole childhood. the bad man had some bad friends. they shared the boy around, and each of them stole a little bit of his childhood until there was none left.
when the boy was 13 the bad men were taken away by the sheriff. by now he could not even remember what his childhood looked like or felt like. all he knew was that he felt very, very small inside. he made money by selling his body to men. he took pills and potions to take away the small feeling. but nothing worked.
time went by. the boy became a man. he met a woman. she too felt very small inside. in fact she felt smaller than he did. she had a little baby. the man did not like the baby but it came with the woman. sometimes the man got angry and hit the woman and shouted at the baby. the woman went around with her face black and blue and told people she had fallen over.
the woman thought if the man had his own baby he might be happier. so she had another baby. this was a mistake. the man got more and more angry. he hit the woman more. he frightened the babies. the woman ran away from him but she always came back. some kind ladies came and took away the babies. they told the woman that while she lived with the man she could not have them back.
the man got really angry. he threatened to go after the kind ladies with a knife. he said he would cut them up and take the babies. he said all kinds of really, really nasty things.
this is where the asbo queen comes into the story. she went to see the wizard. the wizard gave her a magic scroll that said the man must not come into a certain part of the kingdom and must not go near the kind ladies. the asbo queen had to give the man the magic scroll. she went with some of the sheriff's men to his flat. the door was opened by the woman who looked very scared and very sad. she had a bruised face. she called the man.
the asbo queen gave the man the magic scroll. usually she felt very angry with people who were nasty. but even though this man looked very scary, the asbo queen could tell that inside he was very, very small. that is what happens when people steal your childhood.

Oh, this one is heartbreaking.
For everyone involved.
I bet it feels so good to get some of this out, yes?
This is very sad, but what makes it even more heartbreaking is that it rings true for so many men/women and families living today. This vicious cycle of sexual abuse, the pain, anger turning inward, until it explodes, and the domestic violence begins, another cycle. It just goes on and on, and it is happening all the time, all income levels, all races, all different countries and it is getting worse and worse. Children are having their innocence taken away, each and every day. Not enough support/interventions early on. It always happents much to late, when the damage is already done...
This is an excellent post. Thank you for sharing this with me.
