In my paper, I reflect on the abuse that was prevalent in my childhood home. As I reread the essay now, I find that I wrote it from a distance and it is somewhat antiseptic. This could be a result of the years that have passed since childhood and my ability to achieve some sense of closure. The events in this essay are not new to me and now it seems like just a story. Likewise, I am very careful in my life to avoid being viewed as a victim, and that may have been reflected in my essay. In retrospect, I would like to have more descriptively written how I felt to better convey how tragic it truly
