I love you Alissa. I am thankful the Lord has given you to me. You are a beautiful child. 

With Love, Your Mom XO

Had to clean my room before I ate. I ate at 8:07 PM.

6/19

I hate everything and everybody. Matt takes a knife and tries to poke mom’s eyes out. Mom blames me.

7/15/86

I hate mom. She only cares about the stupid Matt.

8/4

Matt tries to hurt our aunt. He is reacting to something he is allergic to. Luke pushed me into my aunt and uncle’s swimming pool with my clothes on. I had to ride home wrapped in a blanket.

Today Matt bit me. My arm will turn black and blue tomorrow. Mark stuffed a pepper up his nose. He cried and cried.

9/12

Mark got beat up by someone the day of his birthday party.
