It's more of a reminder. I keep it in times when I start to doubt my actions, the way I so violently pulled away from my family. Then I remember just how deeply entrenched my father was in his stance that he'd attack me because I wanted to leave.

[Hm. This makes it sound even more dubious. It is rather hard to tell this story with some of the finer details stripped away.]

It's just proof of how fractured we all were.
