There are no clear pictures
of the sexual abuse we endured.

:41:17
I buried it as deep
as it could possibly go.

:41:20
What I remember most clearly
from that chilly October night

:41:23
was that it was
my 14th birthday...

:41:25
and the end of my childhood.
:41:37
Early in my stay I'd written
and asked my father not to come.

:41:40
I couldn't have him see in my
face what had happened to me.

:41:44
Michael did the same
with the members of his family.

:41:47
Tommy's mother couldn't
get it together to visit.

:41:49
John's mother came up
once a month.

:41:54
But no-one could stop
Father Bobby from visiting.

:41:58
So listen, let's try to
keep this on a happy note, OK?

:42:02
Nokes warned us not to say
anything to Father Bobby.

:42:05
If we did,
:42:07
the reprisals would be severe.
:42:22
You lost a few pounds.
:42:24
It's not exactly home cookin'.
:42:27
Sit down.
:42:30
So I get to see
all four of you guys today.

:42:33
I loved Father Bobby,
:42:34
but I couldn't stand
to look at him.

:42:37
I was afraid he'd
look right through me,

:42:38
past the fear and the shame,
:42:40
right through to the truth.
:42:41
Shakes, is there anything
you want to tell me?

:42:44
Anything at all?
:42:48
You shouldn't come
here any more, Father.

:42:52
I appreciate it and all...
:42:54
I don't think it's
the right thing for you to do.
