This Is Such A Sad Happy Tale
I see hope. Kim needs to be told by her father that it's okay. Then he needs to take her out and buy the finest wig available. It will be interesting to see about Aubrey

“I do know how hard this is, Pete,”
yeah. its so hard ...
dam, I'm crying ...
OMG!!!
This is such a wonderful tale. I love the little flashes of life at the different homes and with the different characters. And the dialogue is amazing. Brava.
Okay...so I'm just another lil'...
Brrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
The love of a child......
A child who is willing to sacrifice her life, her happiness, her self, in order to try to keep her family together.
Only a daughter would think that way. Her father doesn't deserve that kind of love. I know - I was there too.
Yes, I love my father - because he is my father. He was always there to help out when I ran into trouble or had a problem - when my car broke down, or when I got stuck somewhere. But he could never acknowledge who I was, that he had three daughters instead of two and a son.
Yes, he did the things all parents do - but he still beat me when I tried to be myself. He still mocked and belittled me when I wasn't "man enough". He still did everything he could to force me into his narrow view of who I was supposed to be - even when I cried out and told him I wasn't that person.
How can you love someone you hate?
Dear God reading this hurts. I cried through the entire story. You pack a lot of emotion into so few words.

The only people who can really hurt us...
...are those we love the most. It's not the evil people we need to fear, the ignorant and downright stupid, outnumber them 100 to 1. Someone needs to beat Kim's dad about the head and shoulders to get his attention and to show him what his daughter goes through each day. Then the family needs to ostracize him to teach him compassion.
Hey, Poppa Pete, it's not about you!
This is classic Andrea: Thank you,
