In a nutshell:

10 or so - Threw the playstation through the wall in a fit of rage at my brother. The hole is there to this day.

12 or 13 - Killed my pet raccoon (his idea, BTW) then threw her in the trash in front of me saying, "Look what you did, look what you did."

15 - Smashed my mom's car with his in a fit of rage, somehow my fault. After the cop said 72 hours no contact and he bailed himself out of jail, we went to his house where he talked to each of the three of us (my brothers and I) alone. First thing out of his mouth, no joke, "Thanks for your manipulation and deceit." He kicked me out of his house like a week later and then spent three weeks threatening me to try to make me go back. I was scared to death to go to school, hang with friends, anything. It was horrible.

22 - After years of rebuilding our relationship and months of court-ordered family therapy, just when I think things might be better, he snaps and shoves me into my bed (would have been the wall if the bed weren't there) and just barely stops himself from hitting me. (To be fair, it would have been the first time, to my knowledge, that he would have physically abused me. He has never been physically abusive.) I don't even remember what the argument was about. I just know that I'm afraid of my dad. Not a good feeling. And it affects my relationship with Mike too. I know he would never hurt me, but the fear is still there.

And I can't say that the only memories I have of my childhood are bad ones. We've had a lot of good times too growing up. But my family pretty much puts the textbook to shame in dysfunctionality... Who's with me? lol

I reread "Toxic Parents" every year just to deal with stuff....
 
I remember watch my uncle clean frogs for frog legs..thats not that bad but he wouldnt kill them first so this table he cleaned them on was covered in frogs dragging their legless bodies around. It was just horrible.

Well...it actually bit my finger and my friend who was with me,we were trying to see who could skip a stone the farthest,tied his shoestring on my finger and tried to get me to stay calm but I was in so much pain I think every animal in those woods heard me yelling.I was later transported to a hospital in Philly.I must have been one of the first patients to be admitted for a snakebite because the hospital actually contacted a snake handler from the zoo who came to visit me.I learned that Copperheads have rather weak venom compared to other venomous snakes in the area and I dont remember feeling sick or anything,just intense pain, but it did do a number on my finger which had to be operated on as the fangs tore through a good bit of tissue as I flailed and shook my hand to get the snake off of it.I think I spent most of that summer in the hospital.

He's like the rare black guy who actually makes it passed opening credits in a horror movie just to survive all the near deaths throughout the movies to die at the very end when you think it's finally safe
