    Boy oh boy. What a witch she had for a mother. I do believe it something from another world pulled her hand from the water bucket. I also wonder what happened to Molly? Did she run to a neighbor's house? She really had some spunk to stand up on her own two feet at such a young age and speak out as she did. Two deaths in one evening...strange. I wish the forlorn father who had just lost everything could have taken Molly with him.

I have finally come to understand that I wasn't a bad person, that my mother was just sick inside her mind. I am a good person to whom something awful happened, but that doesn't have to make my journey out of darkness end. No, it carries on into the bright future of a new day. Please let Molly find her own light, healing for her soul and her body, forgiveness for her joy. Please.

    Unfortunately child abuse doesn't end with childhood and it's effects more often plague a person throughout their lifetime as so aptly mentioned in Molly's story as 'trauma'. It is far reaching and often manifests down the road anywhere from low self esteem and negative 'love' relationships to addiction, mental illness, and sometimes it's continuation as generational trauma, and in a few words, much ongoing suffering. My imagination wants to paint a happy future life for Molly but I know her challenges will be great because she is such a sensitive and loving child, as most all children are. However, I believe that with lots of love and compassion and sometimes therapy anyone can heal. Thank you @TheAppalachianstoryteller for using and sharing your gifts-- heart, mind, and soul-- and your voice, to make this world a better (and more aware) place. You are much appreciated.

TRUE....child-abuse SCARS you for a lifetime....sadly....but if Molly could learn to understand that she's absolutely OKAY being WHO she really IS and that she's absolutely UNIQUE and PRECIOUS just being her authentically SELF....because the gods made her spirit and body exactly as they WANTED her to BE......then hopefully a healing process could probably take place....especially in adulthood when she had been able to break away from this toxic "non"family.....❤💔❤

    Wonderful story that needed to be told. I knew mothers like that growing up. So many times Appalachian stories are told from a nostalgic point of view about how happy every one was. That was often not the case. My mother born in 1914 grew up with an abusive father and she never had a good word to say about him. The past was not a happy place for her to reflect upon. She dearly loved her Ma though. Thank you.

    Poor little Molly, unfortunately, will never be free. She will never physically see her mother again, so she's free of the sight of that wretched, wicked excuse for a woman but I fear she will see her and hear her in her mind every day and even feel her presence. I just can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to grow up in an abusive home. It sickens me. And to know that it still goes on everywhere every day. If I could rescue each and every ill treated child, I would, happily.

    This is your best story yet JD imho. I cried over this story which is the sign of a truly great story teller. In reading the comments I realized how this story truly touched so many people. And the lady narrator has such a lovely voice... I could identify with Molly because I had the same sort of mother. I never felt loved by her and went around in fear of her, trying to be small and go unnoticed. I felt like she punished me just for existing. I am so curious as to what happened to Molly. Would you consider continuing her story? Did she become a loving mother because she did everything the opposite of her mother? Did she become mentally due to her treatment as a child? How did letting her mother burn affect the rest of her life? I would love to hear Molly's Story as an old woman reflecting back on her life. I would love to hear Molly's Story continued.... This would make a GREAT movie!

    What a fabulous story. Very triggering as I, too, had an extremely abusive mother. I now take care of her and my MRDD aunt, to whom my mother has also been abusive. It’s taken years of therapy to teach me I was dealing with a toxic human being with mental illness. Understanding doesn’t mean I forgive. In my mind, Molly got out, received a proper education and stopped the cycle of abuse.

I want to know what happened when the dad comes home. I want to know so much more than you have so far written! PLEASE JD, PLEASE?

    What a wonderful story. Both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I hope parents are a little smarter these days about showing favoritism between kids. It's never a good idea. I remember how my own mom would talk; if you asked her for $ for something like a movie ticket, she'd say yes, as soon as we have enough $ for all of us to go together. Nobody grew up thinking themselves worthy of demanding first place. The family was one unit, period.

    Well, what an ending, but with that said, Molly was free at last. Her mother didn't deserve to die the way that she did. Mental illness was ignored during those years, especially in areas where medical help was sparse. Most took care of their own and never sought help. In Molly's case, I hope the abuse didn't hinder her future, and she felt no guilt for her mother's downfall. Excellent story, JD! It was a story full of everything a story needed to make us think and feel someone else's anguish. It also made us think to be more aware of child abuse and not be afraid to intervene if necessary. It is a very moving series, and I thank you❤❤

Imagine having your little heart broken over & over. You have to get the healing- spiritual healing that comes from our Heavenly Father. Scriptures- He taught me I am worthy & deserve to be loved.

    One question; and forgive me if I’ve missed any initial explanations; is this a true story? It absolutely is true for countless thousands across the world and millennial this I do know. Are all your stories true? I believe it if they are because they are all so relatable to being human. So I guess they are all true but n that respect. But I’m just curious if Mollys story(as well as the rest of them) were actual people. Either way, it doesn’t take anything away from the very power to deeply speak to our hearts. You do such an excellent job and I eagerly look forward to new and beautiful stories. Thank you that they are not always pretty and pleasant because such is life.

    As a mother who is full of hugs, kisses & praise, that mother was a very evil hateful person. I wonder what made her that way? This story made me cry so hard & the end .. well forgive me but that put a smile on my face. In real life I do know people like that. No affection to share or give to anyone 😢. Unfortunately my late mother in-law was that way😢 Please don’t end the story here. Where did Molly go to live? Did someone finally show her the love she so craved ?😢😢😢😢😢 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️
