Gimme Bad Homes and Psychology!

OKAY!

I want any stories you've got on kids in homes that have drug parents, drunk parents and/or abusive parents! I want to know what goes on inside their heads and what they think! I think it's fascinating, in like a bad kind of way because I know this subject will be kinda of touchy for some people.

So! RULES!!!


~MIN 500 words NO MAX! Long stories are freaking amazing!!

!-NO SEX, NO MAIN CHARACTERS DOING DRUGS/DRINKING, CUSSING .... hm... NO GAYNESS

@-Grammar must be good, unless its part of the dialouge/ voice of the character

$-NO TEXT LANGUAGE UNLESS THE CHARACTER IS SENDING AND RECEIVING A TEST MESSAGE IN THE STORY

%-has to be realistic, but like strange stuff happening (like being a shape shifter) is ok, but not overly weird!


and that's it!! Have fun!!

    I could give you more poetry for this contest then you could shake a stick at but I don't think I'll be able to get a story done, writers block is killing me, but if I do I'll enter.

    Is it okay if the character previously lived in an abusive house, and has mental trauma and flash backs inside a psych ward?
