My Horrid Parent

I joined the army at 15 to get away from home, I think she hoped she had seen the back of me, never wrote to me like the other boy soldiers, no pressies or parcels from home. Anyhoo after 8 months things turned very unpleasant for me and I managed to get her permission t leave the boys army. BIG MISTAKE  I would have been better staying in the army and just taking the abuse and unwanted attention.   I came home bruised, drained, afraid, confused and in need of some support.   As I walked through the door She turned around looked over her shoulder at me and just gave me the most filthy contemptious of glares then turned away ignoring me.  I could only cope with the tension for a few months before I just started sleeping rough.
