land.

Some time around the early 2000s, my family moved to Secret Grove after the property had been bought by some weird old woman. I never knew much about the lady, but if I remember correctly, she and my mother were well acquainted.

My mother spent much of her time at this community center, run by the Secret Grove landlord. Many nights, she would return covered in blood, screaming at my dad and I for no reason at all… After my dad passed away, I was left in her care alone. The fear and difficulty worsened from age 6 onward until 2019. My father may have passed away of an overdose induced heart failure, but at least he didn’t hit me…
