Hi Chick, the following is a paragraph from my book. I am talking to my counseling. The she is my mother. ***“She must have known he was violent because she told me about his boxing buddies. She said that when we lived in Passaic Heights, before she left him when I was five years old, he’d go to the gym to box. One of my father’s friends told my mother that the guys refused to get in the ring with my father because his temper got out of hand. They wouldn’t spar with him anymore. A man must be very violent to scare his boxing opponents! She also told me that she had once asked him to go to therapy, but he had been an ass about it. So she left him and she went for therapy.”****
