Update on my last post. Not nearly as upbeat

I'm twelve today.

I got 12 hits w/ the buckle end of a leather belt as a birthday present from steve

*sighs*

steve told me that if i told alex about what he'd done, he'd make me watch as he killed her

but he told me to call her, invite her over, b/c she said she'd celebrate my b-day with me b/c my brother's

Oh definately an lj account would be a great idea for her! I like her already, just because she's stood up for you and has been so strong and forthright. She's not giving herself enough credit.

Steve is an ass. He has no right to treat you like that, you deserve so much better hon. Safe hugs.

So sorry all this happened on your birthday! I'm so glad that she's there in your life to help you and stand up for you. It can definitely be scary to see someone stand up to an abuser like that - just remember, it's been a survival tactic for you to try not to challenge steve, so it will be scary to see someone who does. It's okay to be scared, and it's okay that she's standing up to him, too.
