by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

You're father is where he should be. You and your siblings are where you all should be: in a loving home. Just to be clear, no one ever ever ever "deserves" a beating. Always remember that. I do hope you and your siblings are in some form of counselling in order to help you deal with the repercussions of growing up in such a horrifically abusive environment. None of you deserved that kind of mistreatment; all of you deserve help for the fact that you endured such mistreatment. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

 So many crimes committed
by: Anonymous

Dustin, you and your siblings were given a raw deal because your so-called dad was so twisted and messed up in his own ways of thinking that he didn't even know how to take care of himself, let a alone be a father to you guys. Oh, and he is a truly sadistic beast too...and you and your siblings deserved so much better than those barbaric beatings that you were forced to endure at the hands of that twisted sadist. Oh, and when he couldn't get what he craved from you, which is utter and complete submission, he brutally killed your mom and tried to force you guys to slice her...he was truly evil, sadistic and malicious...and I'm glad that you guys threw him into jail for all those sadistic crimes that he committed against you guys because you and your siblings (yes, and even your mom) did nothing wrong. You are not to blame for his sadistic behavior; he was to blame because he chose to abuse and torture you. You were the children; he was the adult; he had all the power and only misused it over you guys in one of the most vile ways. Oh, and I'm also glad that your foster parents are with you and your siblings now because they are so sweet for doing that; I just hope you guys will try counselling.

 where were the adults in your life???
by: My Two Cents

Like Dana wrote, it's been awhile since I commented. It was getting hard to know what to say.

Anyways, Dustin, the one frightening thing from what you wrote is the sheer violence you were exposed to. I do NOT and probably never will understand how it is that all the people in your life did not know this was going on.

Didn't relatives, friends (and their parents), doctors, teachers notice bruising, difficulty sitting on a sore bum, welts and scars on your arms, black eyes, sprained/broken limbs?

Did you walk around in a winter parka and ski pants 24/7? How could they not see???

You wrote the police came to the house. I have always been under the impression (mistaken?) that police would call child protection when they intervened in a house where minors are present, just so they can follow up and make sure kids not in danger...either they not do this or child welfare not follow up properly.

Hope you understand my little rant. I'm just so mad nobody helped you and you had to go through this along with your siblings. It not fair, not appropriate, and it's also so sad to read such a story. I'd like punishment for people who mandated (required) reporters of child abuse like teachers, teacher's aides, etc. Maybe if they face actual consequences, they'd take their responsibility seriously.

We see what happens as world continues, becomes 2012, 2013, etc...

Be well.

 Just a thought.
by: Anonymous

First of all, I am so proud of you for being such a brave young person. I respect you more than anything, I swear. You and your siblings deserved so much better. You deserve a life with love and happiness, you really do. I can't imagine the pain you've gone through. I hope that your 'father' gets what he deserves. He'll pay for what he's done. He will. I hope that you know how amazing you are. The way I see it, we are all given tools. The tactics by which those tools are given are not always right, and not always just. But you choose to let them build you up, or break you down. Use the tools you've been given to build you up. Learn from this. You have seen everything that should NOT happen in a home. Use that to make sure that what SHOULD happen in a home, DOES happen in yours. You are wonderful, brave and amazing. Know that you and your siblings are loved. Love your siblings. And try to find happiness. I wish the best for you. Nothing but the best.
