I Hate my Mother - The Tables Are About to Turn - Part A

The Tables Are About to Turn I have to stop to “reminisce” about the things I’ve told you so far and the things that are about to be laid out for your perusal. I was fourteen, almost fifteen at this point in the story. My freshman year in high school was finally over, and I had vowed to be ready to... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - We Interrupt This Lesson - Part B

I can’t exactly recall how this incident got set in motion, but my dad was still working insane hours. It was early in September and school had just gotten started. When I was a freshman in high school, I looked like a young boy, but I was still doing a man’s work every day. I felt comfortable with... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother -I Need To Catch My Breath

I Need To Catch My Breath I am ~19,500 words into this story, and as I thought might happen, I had my first nightmare last night. It had taken me two days to write the “Manger” segments as I struggled to recall details and put them down where I had to read them. That’s never been an issue for me... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Part - D (Last cut from this episode - 1125 words)

That afternoon, my brother left the barn door open, one of the young bulls I was supposed to deliver down the road within the next three days got out, and ended up on the road where he was hit by a semi-truck taking onions from a local field to the warehouse less than a minute later. I was upset not... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Part C

It took me over a week to get rid of the headache I had and another week to get rid of most of the swelling. Dad was on a long shift where he was on the road with the semi, and was home for about sixteen hours and then was gone again for another five days. She forced me to stay in the barn while dad...

I Hate My Mother - Mom Hammers It Home - Part B

As normal as a night’s milking could go, this night was perfect. I had everything done and cleaned up by eight. I thought about going to the house to grab something to eat, but it took my mind back to what was happening with the cows. It wasn’t dark yet, but I grabbed the flashlight and headed to...

I Hate My Mother - Mom Hammers It Home - Part A

Mom Hammers It Home I’m going to tell you a most frightening story of how I got one of the most prominent scars mom put on my body. It was a hot and humid July day in 1965. The only good thing about this story is that I don’t remember most of it. I was just shy of being twelve, and I was spending a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Haystack Incident - Part C

At fifteen, I stood at five feet, seven inches, and I outweighed her by at least seventy-five pounds. I was used to moving twelve-hundred-pound cattle around, so I figured I had an advantage. Little did I know how wrong I was. I ran to the assault scene and got myself between her and my brothers.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Haystack Incident - Part B

Things with my mom were coming to a boil, and I went out of my way to avoid her as much as possible. I had a rage inside me that was approaching the rage she carried in her. Staying away from her was the best solution to avoiding more conflict. The beating of the younger children continued, but mom... Sign in to see full entry.
