I still have my copy of my side of the mtn. from when I was a kid! It was like my bible. I would try and do the stuff in the book. My dreams growing up were all about going and living in the bush, like a hermit. Sometimes I'd daydream that everybody on earth was dead and I could goto ANY store I wanted and get stuff.
My other daydream was I'd have 15 mins. to gather what I needed to survive and then I'd be dropped in the bush to see if I'd survive.
There were a couple of other easy readers that I loved. One about an escapee out of a juvenile detention center, and the other is 'I am David'. I also liked run baby run. I LOVED reading.
I'm a parent, and I would like to think i would never shy away from such evidence, but everyone is different. Some are weak (NOT me!!!!!!), and maybe when confronted with the unthinkable they dissociate and don't know. Maybe they dissociate well cuz they had to from when THEY were kids.
This is what I try and think of regarding my parents not noticing I was such a troubled child. Maybe they just didn't know.......
