An unhealthy focus in life No comedy - a tragedy A home with alcohol and drugs Withdrawal symptoms - from heaven to hell Severe and painful neglect No stability in everyday life - seen through the eyes of a 6-aged Who must bear the heavy burden throughout his upbringing

a bit of sadness washed over me as I read your words. What a tough life for a 6-year old. I taught for most of my life and was always concerned for those students who I knew were burdened like this young man. A captivating and engaging read. Have a pleasant evening, hugs, Sara

Not all kids have a good home. Can’t imagine what everyday brings, what each totes.

What a powerful write and picture you have here. So very sad for many kids. "Good Luck" if for a contest. Hugs... Have a blessed day writing away.........

Sad but true in so many cases Sunshine....childhood should be a safe , happy,secure, fun and loved time but for many kids it horrendous, frightening and confusing....incredibly unfair and heart wrenching! Debx
