Too bad you can't just dump your family in another country. I think you would be able to handle your mother if it wasn't for them. I found no errors and as always I liked the reading.

I feel so angry on your behalf, Valerie. It must have been totally infuriating having to live through all this. I'm so glad you survived.
Only noticed one small typo in the body of the text:
"....phone number so I can speak wit her..." (with)

One in the title too...Decent into Hell....(Descent)

Hope this helps
Warmest wishes
Kat

Well done.

The story that unfolds is often heart breaking.

The little cruelties are the hardest to take...not giving woman who is going blind a lamp....

The story is in the details.

Good job!

this is a very sad story, however as a piece of literature it would do better to contain a bit more descriptive language, it felt rushed and could be expended into a more evocative piece. all the best.
