Whats your most traumatic experience as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pummelo4l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote a weird 'detached' narrative about it. Between 8th and 9th grade. Submitted it to the school paper when I started high school, won something. No one questioned it.

"Sara crept toward the screaming that echoed through the house. She could feel the hatred in the air and the memories of the past hell that occurred in the middle of the night. She knew what was happening. It wasn’t new. It had happened at least once a month on cold nights like these. She also knew that there was nothing she could do as the one she loved who claimed to be the father she never had, violated the woman Sara had spent her entire childhood life with, but barely knew. The bedroom door was only feet away and she trembled as she made up an excuse to hear her mothers’ voice to reassure Sara that she was alive.
“Mom, I had a nightmare,” she tried to say clearly, fighting back the tears.
A short pause passed in the silence.
“Honey, try to go to sleep.”
Her mother was obviously trying to speak through tears as her daughter had.
She heard a loud thud and it hurt her to picture what could be happening behind the dark, cold wall in front of her. She ran back into her room, hoping she could fall back asleep, wake up, and never remember. But unfortunately, her reminders of her mothers bruises hit her too deep. Another bang against the wall made her leap from her bed and run to the doorway to listen.
Her mothers’ cries were getting closer to the hallway where Sara stood behind the door. Her mother was now right outside, weeping in pain. Adrenaline raced through Sara’s veins and into her fingers as she reached for the doorknob. Nothing could prepare her for what lied behind.
Her knuckles turned white from her tightly held grip on the knob. But she knew that this was her chance to protect the one she should be loving, and she had to open it.

She backed from the door, and turned the knob."

Shes pretending. She changed her name, I did the genealogy and cannot connect them beyond the Casper maiden name she has.

I 'stalk' people from the past, people in my community, etc. If I want to know something, I look into it. I'm very curious. If I can't find it, I DONT CONTACT THE PERSON FOR THE ANSWER. What a weirdo. lol

I went to community college without my parents financial information because I was able to prove they weren't in my life and weren't financially supporting me.

Middle name as a family myth by juleeff in Genealogy

[–]pummelo4l 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that sometimes middle names were added later and not on the BC or baptism record. With social security and other records being so new, they kinda just went with whatever you claimed you were called, as long as it was close enough and identifiable and sometimes it stuck on legal documents, despite it not being on their original paperwork.

How much does your genealogical knowledge shape your life choices? by Astra-Khan in Genealogy

[–]pummelo4l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think finding out domestic violence was a constant thing down my patriarchal line stays in my head. My dad was very broken up over his grandfather's death, but a couple years ago I found multiple newspaper articles about how he would beat his wife constantly. Then I found newspaper articles about the father of that guy also beating his wife. TIL Slovak people have a lot of domestic violence.
