The words below were written by me, Jon Jon's Mom, from both my point of view and his. If it seems harsh, it was harsh. This was written over 2 years ago.

Hello, my name is Jon Jon, and my mommy and I have made this page together. I am 5 years old, and I have had a very rough year. My world has been turned upside down. Since I am not quite old enough to put all my feelings into words yet, Mom is going to help me out here. I was born prematurely, at 30 weeks gestation. I have been sick a lot of times in my life because of that, so I don't like going to the hospital or to see the doctor. Not too long ago, though, my mom had to take me to the Emergency Room. Not because I had a medical problem, but because I wanted to hurt myself and to hurt Mommy. Want to know why? My step-daddy told me some awful things that he was going to do to me and my Mom, and I am always afraid he is going to find us and hurt us, even though Mommy moved us away from him. And I thought that if I took me and Mom to Heaven, Daddy couldn't hurt us any more. Mom is getting me some people to talk to, but that takes time. I have a lot of very bad feelings to think about all the time, like whether Dad will find us and hurt us, and why I am so mean sometimes...Mom says she loves me no matter what I do, but I am so scared of the badness in my heart. And I don't like myself very much, because even with all of the things my daddy has done and said, I still love him, and I don't understand why he is acting this way. If you are another kid like me, and you are afraid to tell your mommy that daddy has said or done bad things, and told you that he would hurt you or her if you told, tell somebody anyway. Cuz Mommies sometimes don't know that you are scared unless you tell them, or--tell your teacher, or a policeman, or Grandma or Grandad. I don't want you to have to feel as scared and as bad as I feel. Mommy says we can move far away soon, and then I think I will feel safe and be able to be happy again.

NOTE FROM MOM----
KIDS...... If your mom or dad or ANY person is scaring or hurting you badly, and telling you not to tell or they will hurt you, PLEASE tell someone anyway....anyone that you can trust.

My Mom and me are both moody, so she found us this picture:
