When there's a writer in the family, the family is doomed.

One of the reasons I despise my NY family is they are dysfunctional beyond belief. I ran away and have not returned since 1978 but my biological sister who has the self appointed role of alpha-mama continues to perpetuate a false narrative to anyone who will listen. She has to be queen bee rather than let the truth circulate. The truth is we were horribly abused in all ways.

God help her if the grand children ever arrive and then grow up and seek out the truth. The other branch of step, half siblings and other relatives are in California and Washington state at this point having escaped the NYC mess. If the next generation is courageous and curious they will find the this blog and the truth.
