Dear Diary,
Mommy finally called the doctor for my ear ouchy. He made a house call. This time I took off my clothes like a good girl. Without complaining. He called me pretty, but my mom didn’t hear him. No one did.

Oh wow. How could the mom not have heard him? I hope she was in the same room as him when this was going on.

Back in the day, when Doctors made house calls, I imagine I wasn’t the only one who was abused by one. Tragic. Thanks for reading.

It was scary for me. Definitely. Sad/glad that came through.

Shocking, but the pure, innocence of the child’s words beam through, making it even more painful; too painful so that it would be impossible to put the story into the mouth of a knowing adult.

“No one did” is such a chilling final word for this. It must be so difficult to put yourself back into that place to write from your personal experience as a child…..but your voice is being heard now. Thank you for speaking up on such a difficult topic. Your voice is being heard, powerfully.

How awful, especially to have happen inside the sanctity of your own home. Great job with the child’s voice.

Using the word “ouchy” put me into the little girl’s head so quickly. So heartbreaking.

My little boy is 5. I look around at he and his friends, with so much innocence and find a layer of disbelief I never thought I would. Thanks for reading.

Damn. I like what you did with the layers of pain here: the “ear ouchy” a superficial covering over the real pain and trauma underneath. Very well done. Thank you for trusting us with this story.

Thank you for the encouragement. I’ll be glad when this challenge is over. I’m pretty sure I would be fine if I never had to think about it ever again. We all have something like that in life, I suppose.
