I also read Hope N Hell so I recall reading about this and other horrific incidents Mason endured as a child. I was talking to her earlier today, she mentioned that one of her siblings supposedly held a séance, cursing the book, and then burning it. I’m not sure why a sibling who shared in the abuse, would do something so disturbing but to me it speaks to the disfunction that reverberates through a family riddled with domestic violence and both physical and emotional abuse of one of the parents and the children. The violent one is seen as a monster, because that person is a monster. There is nothing wrong with how you feel Mason, and I would be involved with a family that treated me with disdain, further victimizing you.
Carmine, it’s amazing how in sink you and mason are. I see many similarities between the to of you with is obviously indicative of severe child abuse. Knowing what we know now, we as Mason and Carmine, Rocky, TJ, Shawn and even Kelton Gnostic family, need to make sure they know we are and always will be here to support and uphold them.
I have had my share encounters with unstable, demonized people and disengage is always the best way to handle them. I still deal with irate employees and customers. I have little tolerance for very verbally abusive interactions with people. I’ve been threatened, Carmine has been there to make sure the threats are not carried out. All we can do in situations like this is distance ourselves as quickly and as far away as possible.
Doc, unfortunately this is the true face of America and the results have been devastating particular for an entire race of people whose ancestors were brought here by force. They are born in a country that torments and oppresses them. These individuals that stormed the capital on January 6th are the vermin that makes up the what 70 million people who voted for trump. What we saw and continue to witness, particularly among some of those in the republican party, this is who we really are and it’s nothing to be proud of thus I’m not. I think this is a hellish place when we can watch officers of the law murder in cold blood and far to many are not held accountable for the crimes they openly commit. Not Proud at all.
