On that trip I was repeatedly sexually abused by the father of the family (I was seven and told no one about this until I was in my teens). That happened 43 years ago and even as I sit here trying to remember I cannot access how I felt about being cared for by someone like that. I remember as a young child and it was Christmas when I went down to Joyce Silva’s house. We lived in a trailer park that was at one end of Jean Ave and…

I decided to be a good boy and take myself out to…
