You all read about my abusive family of origin that sexually, physically, and emotionally abused me my whole life, until I got away from them.

My father of the supergluing a Yorkshire terrier’s lips together fame.

Well, he’s dying of cancer. I’m having a lot of feelings about that.

And then there was the bullying done to me on-line by D. and S. and their people, and my family participating in all of that, I guess at the behest of said celebrities.

So even though my family was crappy, they were still the only family I had, and the bullying war against me blew up a sort of fragile detente I had with my family. I really don’t have a family any more, and I feel anger and grief about that.

I feel anger that the celebrities chose me as a target for their cruelty, when all I ever did wrong was tell them what their music meant to me growing up.

Just feeling a lot of things.

Really glad for my husband, who is on my side in all of this. We have such a good life together, he said today…screw your abusive family, and the trolls.

I know he’s right.

It’s just a hard struggle right now knowing I won’t be able to see my (abusive) father again before he dies, and I won’t be able to attend the funeral.

Crappy family but it was the only one I had and it’s been taken away from me, forever.
