A Real Nightmare

Waking up from a nightmare suddenly to my surprise scanning the room for conscous anwsers back to my nightmare I thought to myself after a couple minutes pass by I'm out again this is what's playing in my head there's a family of four a husband ,wife ,son and daugther the american dream turned into a nightmare, one day the husband and wife couldn't keep their sprak alive so they started cheating and lying to eachother that was just the start after a few months past by all the lies and cheating have finally taken it's toll the husband left work early to say goodbye to his kids one at a time telling them his going away for a little while I love you's were said the husband went home and unstead of packing he grabbed his father's old rifle he called his wife said goodbye then blew his brains all over the house those four called a home I wish I could wake up from this nightmare but it's a very tragic reality Richard Tarr 11/27/12

Richard this is so heartbreaking still for you I know and you are still searching for an answer that you will not find. You are doing the right thing by writing about it and getting it out of you system. I have said you can email me if you want , if you don't need a response that's fine just say, but get it out and try and stop searching for an answer xx
