Dave Pelzer is such a brave man for writing about his horrific abuse, he was forced to eat his own vomit, stabbed, forced to swallow ammonia and clorox all y his mom. But he also mentioned that there was the “good years” he said he was always so comfortable with his mom she always gave him that sense of warmth and safety that every child needs.
He was also very close with his dad he was “his hero”. His dad was a firefighter. David cannot escape his mother’s punishments. David’s father is caring and understanding, but cannot help David escape.
