when jacque was 12, her mom cut her a line and told her to do it. or they'd never be close. her stepdad was a former alcoholic/child molester, all crazy into the 12 step thing and they hid everything from him but I'm sure he had to know something was going on when no one ever slept and her mom blew glass 16 hours a day. jacque thought he was watching her through a hole in her bedroom wall. he had been convicted of sexual abuse of his daughter; the same girl jacque and her oldest brother were sleeping with. I met jacque in 1997, I was 15 and soon after that I was going to her house after school to buy dope from her mom. just like the rest of her friends.

when jacque had a bad day at school, her mom cut her a line and told her she was too sensitive. jacque said she vaguely remembered her mom molesting her as a young girl. her 8 year old brother came to stay 2 weekends a month and she wondered if her mom was molesting him now, too.
jacque said she was afraid to quit, cos she knew that meant she wouldn't have a mom anymore. I tried to tell her that she didn't have one as it was.

Oh wow. It's almost like a David Lynch movie... only better. But honestly, a girl called Jacque - come on Carrie, you have to be able to do better than that. Why not Frank, or Tobias?
ugh.
what a story.
well told.
I wish like crazy that some of your stories were fiction but I know they're not. Great reads but I feel awful for these poor people. :(
At least in the end whatever good comes from it will be well-earned.
thanks you guys :) I posted this last year and I re-read my blog a few nights ago and decided to post it again cos not too many of the same people read this anymore and I thought it was an interesting story.
It is an interesting story, you need to dig inside and creat more.
