He Who Must Not Be Named

But as time progressed, and the siblings moved beyond the reach of their abusers, the boy began to change. Perhaps it was a spell; perhaps it was that his heart became home to a shard of ice; but eventually, he came to believe that the abusers were good, and his sister was bad.
That was many years ago, but the spell holds true. The sickness spread (as such sicknesses do) into a sort of paranoia - a fear of persecution, a terror of having anything personal known to the world at large - even having his name listed on a family tree by a rather heartsick mother was too much for him to handle.
Today is the birthday of He Who Must Not Be Named.
May it bring a spring to his heart.

Date: 2001-12-29 08:58 pm (UTC)It was a very very very long day. We got very lost. I played good wife and let Jason's grandmother tell me all her illnesses and about everyone who's died in horrible car accidents and who all is receiving crappy care in retirement homes.
After being lost for **FOUR HOURS** I finally lost it and started laughing hysterically as we drove through Lancaster, PA for the fifth time.
My stepdaughter now probably is ready to commit me.
*sigh*
But I'll write something positive about it tomorrow, I promise.
