I'd like to point out a couple things you've said about Wendi, though.

- Don't forget, she just got abandoned by the woman that saved her from an abusive household and from what could have been a fate much worse if this had not happened. Cut her some slack, she must be so incredibly stressed out right now; trying to manage a new job and caring for a sister she never knew she had until a month ago.

- Violence is never the answer! You may still be a child; but, where I live, you could end up in prison at the rate you're going. The minimum age of criminal responsibility in my state is set at seven, a determined age which I totally support. You hit Wendi now, but who are you going to have when she kicks you out on the streets?

Julie needs a caretaker, so she can't take care of you.

Please, seriously consider your thoughts, words, and actions before you alienate Wendi any further.

Frankly, from what Wendi has told me, Julie would pick her over you in a heartbeat.

You're young and it's ok to make mistakes! But there are limitations and what you're doing can have drastic consequences.

Julie already has a full time care giver arranged to be with her beginning Saturday when she will be discharged from hospital. This was arranged a few days ago, on the advice of two of the excellent staff mentors who are helping me.


You wrote in a harsh manner, though I understand the point you made. Therefore I have decided to ask my counsellor tomorrow morning for sessions to deal with my dark aggressiveness.



Since being reunited with my twin sisters, I, also, have been very stressed with no thanks to the smoking, drinking and foul mouthed Parisienne model who took my sisters under her wing. Her drinking, her dope habit did not help me one bit. In fact, she caused PTSD in the form of sickening memories of my darkened days. Little wonder I had no compunction but to retaliate after she repeatedly hit me. I make no apology for what I did. Hitting a child, no matter how it is dressed up, is inexcusable as it is despicable.


Nonetheless I hope to seek help for my reactive actions. It may take time, but I will do it. I realise I am but a child to you. One who was feral. One who saw the death of my best girl friend after what caused her to. Die. I still cry for her. As I am now. Still, I will seek help for myself.



For the sake of peace, I apologized to Wendi which she graciously accepted, hugging me. That was the first time I have ever apologized to her. Wendi spoke of "being at the mercy of her 'Maman'", also, so it is not surprising she is feeling awful and her twin having been ill remains weighing heavily on her mind.



I promised to cut Wendi some slack; at least we are talking again. I can see sisterly love and concern in her eyes. The eyes are the lamp of the soul. Eyes never lie.


Goodnight.



Tommy.
