Hi Ryan. Is this written from your own experience? Or is it a part of your imagination? No matter. The story is well told and I'd like to read more about this. There are several typos, but I make them too. I enjoyed the story and I feel that the person of Ryan is horribly mistreated and I have seen some things like this happen to my brother, but in verbal abuse. Our own father told him once, that he was a mistake. That I was the only one they meant to have. It hurt to hear my brother cry. He was only 3 years younger than I am, but I loved him and hated to see him upset and crying. He was very mean to me when we were young, but you have to forgive things in order to be a caring person. I hope this was not a part of your real life experience but if it was, know that there is a reckoning for all people. We eventually get just what we deserve. Sometimes, parent's make very bad decisions and leave their children scarred for life. I pray that this was not your experience however, for no human deserves to be treated in such a manner. Your writing is fluid and easy to read and I enjoyed the brief escape into someone's mind and thoughts. Thank you for posting, and keep up the good work.

Best Wishes,
Daddy's Girl (Bonnie)
