I feel bad letting min, yin and kaili read A Child called It now.
So far min and yin have really bad impressions on the mother, and I actually understand.. But I want the both of you (and kaili, if possible) that in the story, and in everywhere.. mothers care. They won't burn your arm, stuff a bar of soap down your throat, nor smash a diaper full of your baby brother's faeces in your face to make you feel crestfallen. For every action, there's an equal, opposite reaction. Whenever I remember what I did in violence, I remember the pain I inflicted on myself when I hurt others.
Believe me, you don't have to feel that the book is cruel, nor does the writer want pity. All he wants is to let people see how drastic a family can end up, and to treasure your own. I'm sorry the book made you cry yin, and I'm glad you didn't, min. Sigh, I hope it didn't bring tears to kaili, either.
But yes, I hope you understand. David Pelzer is no longer a child who suffered abuse. He's a new man, a new person who overcame his fear. When I finished both books (embarking on the 3rd one soon, heh ^^), I felt a sense warmth and comfort overwhelming me, knowing that even though I was once a child who got caned, beaten and stuff, but that's all over. I've learnt, and I'll still learnt to live life as it is, because at the end, our parents still love us as their own. =)
Now, if you're wondering what bullcrap I'm talking about, go read up this short story by Dave Pelzer: "A Child Called 'It'". That should clear things up a little. ^^;
PS: Don't come finding me if you get scary dreams after reading though! X.o;
