personally i am not surprised at all that there are mice in the mansion. It is, after all, a very old building. Also, rice can be stored long term.. If a big bag of rice is stored for 6 months its likely some mice will get in to it. When I say Mark is washed out, and I stand by this, I'm saying that he's just straight up tired. I could never run a house with 40 teenagers. I'd be miserable.
The poet is blatantly lying in her poems and bringing up issues that were never of concern. Who has ever accused Mark Sudweeks of absue, mustless taking out a belt. What I want to know is if this poet is trying to accuse Mark of beating her with a belt. That is a SERIOUS allegation. I think the poet is ignoring the more minor issues that actually do exist, and taking the poems as an oppurtunity to flat out lie. And like I usually say, I am not trying to defend anyone... I just know the environment I was living in, and I dont buy into the poets sob story.
