Neither of my parents were p/c, the thought of killing their child as a sacrifice to God would not have crossed their minds. Just knowing what some of you have gone through gives me chills. There are so many news stories of parents who think they here from "God", telling them to do these horrible things, it's getting much worse, there are more stories each year.

She did, however, have many dreams and "revelations" that she claimed were from G-d, and if one of those had been a command to kill her children, she would have -- especially my youngest brother and me, both of whom she saw as "black sheep"

Would my mother have killed me? Yes, absolutely. In fact, like Deer, I was always under the impression that my days were limited. She seemed to be always working up to it, talking about how God wanted her kids to be martyrs and such and that she had to be willing to give them up for God.



To have lived the early life that both of you did, it's beyond words. What you went through, the scars that it left upon both of you. Living with that type of knowledge about one's parent, what they were capable of. My heart goes out to both of you.
