Her voice is soft and kind. "Danny, do you feel safe at home?"
No.
There it is. I don`t feel safe at home. I open my mouth to say something, and as I do I realize that like my mother, I can`t give it its name. Not out loud. Not even to Valkyria. Because if I admit it, if I call it what it is, then I can`t hide from it anymore either. It becomes real in a way I am not ready for. Might never be ready for. There will be no illusions of safety, no peaceful times alone in my room
There will only be times when he`s not hurting me.

My throat clenches up, and that`s the warning signal to tilt my head slightly back, disguise it by pretendeing to be really interested in the top row, and breathe shallowly until I`m sure the threat of tears has passed. Making sure you don`t cry is just a skill like anything else, and I`ve had a lot practice.
Thanks, Dad, you psychotic jackass.
