The Two Dollar Bill: My parents let me out alive

Five Stars Tanya Great read.

Joey had to survive with two brutal parents who saw a need to make his, and his siblings, lives a world of fear! Joey’s siblings are Marilyn, Ellie, and Jimmy. This type of beat down was especially hard for a now 10-year-old kid. However, she never thought she would marry someone who would punch a two-year-old in the face, especially when the two-year-old is their son, Joey. He would use food against the kids by not allowing them to eat. The move brought Joey new friends and new adventures—adventures into alcohol and drugs and cigarettes. As a military brat, Joey was more brat than military. After Charles Bockus adopted the four kids, it got worse. By Joey’s 18th year he was ready for something new, and made the choice to die at his own hands. His parents moved him all over the country and then at the age of 9, two weeks before Christmas, “dad” took off forever. All four are dehumanized by Lee Grim and his wife. This only made Joey swear he would love Christmas
