You lit his hands on fire, you crazy bitch, is probably something my mom never thought she would hear. 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. Joey had to survive with two brutal parents who saw a need to make him and his siblings live a fear-free world! Joey's siblings are Marilyn, Ellie, and Jimmy. All four are dehumanized by Lee Grim and his wife. As a military brat, Joey was more brat than military. His parents moved him all over the country, and then at the age of 9, two weeks before Christmas, dad took off forever. This only made Joey swear he would love Christmas even more for the rest of his life, and he never disappointed himself. The new dad was better, but not by much. He would use food against the kids by not allowing them to eat. This type of beatdown was especially hard for a now 10-year-old kid. After Charles Bockus adopted the four kids, it got worse. After one very eventful beating on Joey, the family had to make a hastily put-together move to Florida. The move brought Joey new friends and new adventures-adventures into alcohol and drugs, and cigarettes. By Joey's 18th year, he was ready for something new and decided to die at his own hands. The plan, the intervention, and the outcome all help Joey when he gets what he wants in the end!
