“@page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter 6The five-finger discountLife was getting tougher on the farm. Mom and DaleRichard were constantly stressed about money, and they took their anger out on me on a nightly basis. Some nights it was just verbal abuse and name-calling, but many nights it was punches and kicks.Sometimes I wondered if anyone knew what was going on. I couldn’t figure out how I could go to school with bruises all over my body and cuts on my face witho...ut one person asking me what was going on. Like I would have told the truth anyway!Once in a while, a nice lady from the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) would show up because of an anonymous tip and ask me questions about the bruises on my body, but I always lied. I knew that if I didn’t live at home, I would end up in foster care, and I did NOT want that for my life. So I would tell the DCFS lady my grand stories of falling down the stairs or getting kicked by a horse; then she would leave and I wouldn’t hear from her again.Of course, after every DCFS visit, Mom would beat me worse than ever.MoreLess
