Smashing Dishes

One of my memories was of a night where I was doing the dishes. This night in question she had been especially nasty with what she was saying. So at some point I had started to cry. This then enraged her even more and she began threatening me. One of the most seemingly ridiculous comments where if you don't shut up now I will smash this plate over your head. Now this comment did the complete opposite of shutting me up it then made the crying harder. That night was a night I went to my brownies club meeting. So after I had finished the dishes my friends mum picked me up. Then while everyone was laughing and having I fun I was deep in thought. I was thinking for the first time that perhaps the way I was growing up was not normal. I was about 11 years old at this point.
