I had been trying to get him to stop drunkenly mauling my 14-year old sister-in-law ( yes, ALABAMA folks!) so her husband, his brother, wouldn't knife him.......STUPID ME! I crawled to the ladies room to escape & huddled on the floor, repeating "nobody helped" until I got over that horror & started to grow up. I was 19.
