"Vacation With Dad"
Linda Ness
In 1965, dad and the 4 oldest kids took a cross-country vacation to
California. We didn't camp or stay in motels, instead we all slept curled up in
the station wagon.
|
| As it turned out, three kids would
sleep in the back seat and one unfortunate person would have to sleep in the
front with dad. Dad took advantage of that opportunity to fondle and masturbate
that child. I hated him and how it made me feel and until that painting I
carried the shame of that memory. Again, the painting showed the truth. We were
betrayed and he took advantage of us. The SHAME lays on his shoulders. |
