diane was just a very ornery disobedient druggy teenage girl running around

and Angelo was the local cocaine dealer

Yes, I don't care what anyone says, I think she should have had an abortion, and that she needed to go to school, a 7th grade education seemed to be all my Mom thought anyone needed and then get a man

That child was so abused by Diane, it was horrific, and nothing I could do with "the family" they covered it up

At some point, something changed with Diane, and according to everyone no matter what horrible things she did, she could do no wrong

I just tried to stay in a corner unnoticed by them most of the time, finally Jeff came along, I was expecting him, and he was an easy ticket out of my Mom's house, and I took it. I think I regretted it almost instantly but I hung in there for as long as I could it was better than the other option.
