Abstract

Parents like to say every child is a part of them.

In our house, I was but a splinter under the skin.

Mom and Dad were a blended couple. They could not bring themselves to truly punish my stepbrother and stepsister, so they had me and turned me into their cautionary example.

When my brother came last in his class, Dad locked me in a dog crate under the blazing sun to teach him what happened to people who refused to study.

When my sister started dating too young, Mom drugged me and dumped me in a homeless encampment to show her what could happen if she was not careful.
