I remember being caught on the stairs between my parents who were having a fight. The stair way was enclosed and one of them was at the top of the stairs and the other at the bottom. They were very loud and very angry. And I had to go to a scout meeting.
I remember, when I left, I was crying and Judy, a family friend who was taking me with her son to the meeting, asked me what was wrong and I told her.
A couple of days later she must have talked to my folks because they told me, in no uncertain terms, that what happened at home, stayed there and we didn't talk about it outside of the house.
