Truth

Interestingly enough, my brother reported that during his visit to our father's home, last weekend, he was beginning to see the insanity that I have been noting since 2010 and beyond.  His first sign that something wasn't quite right was due to there being some sort of "cage" around the front porch.  Apparently, this is to protect my father and his wife from the rampant Pit Bulls that live throughout their neighborhood.  Next, he discovered mock surveillance cameras on the kitchen table which are soon to be placed around the outer perimeters of the yard and driveway.  This is due to neighbors that are on the verge of a killing spree and have troubled teenage youth that will be the next school shooters.  This was also the reason that he was told that if he wasn't in the home by the 11 pm lock-down; he needed to sleep in his vehicle or find another place to stay.  Finally, my brother was accused of verbally attacking our stepmother as a result of a conversation regarding prejudicial attitudes (our father was there to witness the entire event--hopefully this opened his eyes, as well--although, I sincerely doubt it). 
 
They say that the truth always eventually emerges with no need for action by the individual hurt by the lies.  I am happy to report that this is finally starting to happen...

Triggers

Sometimes I have no clue what triggers the thoughts.

Tonight, it was memories of the phone call from the police wanting to know if she had any identifying marks on her body.  Since he shot her in the face and neck--there was nothing left to identify her by in regards to dental records or by traditional methods.

They finally identified her by a tattoo on her back.  She had a small Pisces symbol that she had me tattoo on her as a surprise for him. I never would have guessed that less than a year later, it would be the only way to know who she was.
