Okay, I'm going to step out there and do something a bit odd. Right now there is this incredible drama going on in my family and I just believe it is worthy of documenting. One because it is almost unbelievable and the other reason is just because it's intriguing. I will begin with a background on the family involved because its critical to what is going on. This is absolutely true and happening as I write. I hope you find it as entertaining as I do. It's ongoing, so I will be updating daily. Stay with me beyond this background because this is befitting of a Primetime Mystery segment.
This story begins with a rural midwestern couple who get married and have seven children, one after the other, literally. They were very poor. He worked in a factory and she was a stay at home mom who acted as a foreman with the children farming them out to relatives to do manual labor on their farms...starting at the age of six. None of the kids really minded because it got them out of a house that witnessed violence on a regular basis
