tw/ fire, burning, harm of children




when my brother and i were kids
he would burn me for fun.

it started when he was 3-4 and i was 1 or so was the first time. my mom told me that on a 4th of july, she caught him holding a lit sparkler against my face.

the second time we were camping. he was maybe 7 or 8 and i was 4 or 5, and he hit me a couple times with a stick from the campfire.

i dont fully remember the other times, but over the years hes done it a few times again. once he almost lit my hair on fire. another time my mom stopped him before he shoved the entirety of me into a campfire.

he still actively threatens me with matches and lighters, and has almost done it.

and he wonders why im scared of fire and refuse to get less than 4 feet close to it.
