Dave Pelzer's Home Life
Most of Dave's problems happen at home. “Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul”, he would think while he sat on the garage steps." He was used as his mothers slave to clean the house at a certain time or he would not be able to eat. He only really ate at school but of course his mother would find out and when he got home she would make him throw it up. He us to be part of the family until his mother decided to become a drunk she would no longer refer to him as Dave but as "it." He would not cry ever in front of his mom he would say “I told myself no matter what she did i would not let the b**** take me down."
