We all must be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.  This is the truth according to James 1:19.  I am saying this because I need to work on my own behavior.  I am a person who is 57 years old.  I am a Writer and a Blogger who loves to write about everything.  I am a Writer who takes my time writing essays and blogs.  I remember when I was in high school, I used to love English Classes and History.  I love all of my classes except math.  The reason why I didn’t like math is because of the Word problems that it contains.  I did very well in Spelling and Military Science and Government Classes.  I am a person who loves structure.  I used to go to school with two black eyes from fist fighting with my stepfather.  I remember going to my homeroom class and everyone in class were shocked because my parents used to beat me up every single day of the week.  I remember when my stepfather put my head inside of a hot stove.  He did this because I ate a biscuit that was on top of the stove.  My stepfather became belligerent and sarcastic in nature.  Everytime I mentioned it people tend to ask me a lot of questions.  This is the reason why I fought my own stepfather; when I was 20 years old.  I had to save my little brother from harm and danger.  I guess you can say that I was the black sheep and the scapegoat at the same exact time.  I know that I have been physically, mentally, and emotionally abused by everyone whom I was in contact with.  You know something, I have learned to stay away from home because of the abuse.from.my stepfather and mother.  My mother used to beat me up with a closed fist.  My mother used to beat my stepfather up all of the time.  Everytime I write about my past, people were scared of my stepfather.  This is because he was a raging alcoholic.  My stepfather beat me up more than the other children.  I love my family members and friends more than they love me.  Anyone can see the anguish on my face because I was in a dysfunctional family household.
