Daughters of the Shadow Men

GERRY: My sister Ann was there so she knows what happened the winter I was gone:

ANN: (in a comment) Mother and Dad had actually moved into the house when this HUGE life-threatning fight happened.  She was ironing and threatened to burn him with the iron which he knocked out of her hand and got into the physical fight.  She moved into an apartment in her apartment bulding.  He stayed at the house, thinking they would work it all out, but she reactivated a divorce proceedings she had on hold and got into court (which he read about in the paper)...and went on her honeymoon with Vic.  They were married in Idaho...and....the rest is there.
       Who could worry about their own life with those two threatening death at every corner?   We were just trying to keep them sane and alive."

ANN: (in an e-mail) I hope it was okay to correct you on the time issue..Mother came over all gouged and battered about 12 p.m. (It took awhile for her to get away.)   She went back to her apartment.  Daddy came over at 5 A.M. to tell me Mother just told me a bunch of lies.  That's when I told him about the gouges in her neck and she didn't lie, he did beat her up.  He didn't deny it.  I told him to stay away from that apartment and LET HER RECOVER.  I said if he went down to see her at all,  I would file a police report and they would come after him.  I would call 911 if he drove off the property.
