Cover art for No Son Of Mine lyrics by Genesis

"Soon I was living with the fear everyday/Of what might happen that night"

Anyone who grew up in an abusive household should be able to relate to this. My father was an alcoholic who abused my mother frequently. I can remember being in Catholic grade school and sitting alone in the bathroom stalls feeling the anxious dread of knowing what the night would bring.
