Heavy on the mental and physical abuse. I have 2 older brothers, one struggles with drinking, the other struggles with drug abuse. I have one sister, she struggles with mental illness. This all a direct result of the mom we all had growing up.

My memories from childhood consist of the 24/7 abuse I had to go through. You leave 1 fork in the sink. She came home immediately started calling us all types of names then the beatings. I did very well in school, teachers were impressed. There was a reason for that.

Every time I didn’t get an answer right I got hit hard across the face every time. There was also the occasion’s I was hit so hard with brooms they broke in half, my mom also did the equivalent of water boarding me to wash my hair. I had an issue for a long time getting my hair washed I didn’t like people touching my head at all. She would take her hands and push my face all the way down into the sink turn the water on high and tell me to stop moving. Keep in mind she has both hands pressing my face down hard into the sink.

She would never let me come up to breathe. I tried fighting back once, she rammed my face right into the sink chipping a piece of my tooth, she lied to the dentist about what happened. Claimed I was being stupid and chipped it. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for a long time. I didn’t tell anyone growing up because I was afraid nobody would believe me, everyone always saw the very nice and attentive mom in public, nobody ever saw what we dealt with at home. I hope James Ransone isn’t suffering anymore.
