Incest (*shudder*)

This is a random post. But I was looking back at some of my posts that I have written and I was reading my entry about reading week and see that I slightly mentioned the fact that I can't read about incest.

Well people I have searched high and low and found the book that ruined my childhood. It is.....(drumroll please)........ "Flowers in the Attic" by V.C. Andrews where this 12 year old girl and her 14 year old brother become sexually attracted to each other while being forced to live in the attic (because telling a dying man he has grandchildren isn't an option....wtf...). Yeah. Fucked up. I honestly have no idea how this is designated as a teen novel or even a "family saga" as Wikipedia calls it. There is even a movie. :| <- that is my face right now. Shock and awe.

Reading that as a child when I was like 12 has ruined my mentality for this stuff. I feel nauseous even thinking about it. I mean everyone has that one thing that gets under their skin and this just happened to be mine. Incest. It make me want to shed my skin and just "cleanse" myself. Or vomit.

I don't even know what else to say, so that basically sums up this entry. Don't ever read it. It should be under horror. Or they could make a category of Mentally Scarring. That's what this is. So thank you V.C. Andrews. Please don't ever write another book again.

**On a random point, the one book/tv show that I have actually completed reading/watching that has incest involved is Game of Thrones and it starts up again April 1st!!! 7 Days!!!**
