THE TIP OF THE BRIMSTONE - PART 10
TIMELINE OF ABUSE – PART NINE
My efforts to call ‘Lilith’s’ father on the phone failed on all but one occasion. He was extremely deaf and would shout “Hello?!” repeatedly down the phone and then say “I can’t hear you?! ‘Eran’! Is that you?! Is it raining there?! I can’t hear you?! Hello?!” and then hang up. After the one time I managed to speak to him, he would also ask “Have you heard from ‘Lee’?” Sometimes other people would answer the phone. I knew what ‘Lilith’ and ‘Micha’ would do if they knew I was trying to call and didn’t want to have to deal with that abuse so would hang up. I hated having to risk that and was worried to what lengths they might go if they thought their plans were in jeopardy. I knew ‘Lilith’ would also make sure the mail never reached him. I had learned she had purchased the local post office years earlier. I would later learn she personally delivered his mail. Since ‘Edward’ had only ever responded to one of my letters, I knew why she had done this and why my grandfather never got my letters. In the one conversation I had with him he had told me he never got any of my letters. He also said that ‘Lilith’ and ‘Micha’ claimed they didn’t know why I’d gone, only that I was a drug addict and nothing I said could be trusted. They had told him I planned to trick him into giving me his land so I could sell it for drug money. He also told me that ‘Claud’ had been calling him every couple of weeks since 1994 to keep him “up to date” with what I was doing. ‘Claud’ and ‘Edward’ hadn’t spoken more than two words in the first twenty-one years of my life. ‘Edward’ said that ‘Claud’ told him I didn’t want to speak to him but agreed to give me “things” ‘Edward’ had sent to me over the years. This had been going on for the previous fifteen years but ‘Claud’ didn’t even know where I was during that time. ‘Claud’ had never mentioned those “things” ‘Edward’ sent when I contacted him in 2009, and I certainly never received anything. ‘Claud’ had been manipulating ‘Lilith’s’ father for some unknown purpose. I can only assume some of the “things” ‘Edward’ sent was money.
‘Edward’ was shocked when I told him what had really been going on. He
was almost in tears. He told me the others, all of them, had been stealing from
him. He said that ‘Lilith’s’ three youngest children were all very big,
overweight and lazy, and that he had given ‘Micha’ the land at [DELETED] Hills,
as he and ‘Sharleen’ had intended. Then he said ‘Lilith’ had made him change
his Will. She had convinced him to write me and ‘Micha’ out of it, but he made
sure ‘Micha’ would get [DELETED] Hills as planned. Then he begged me to come
back and help him, claiming he wanted to change his Will but “they” wouldn’t
let him. I assumed he meant ‘Lilith’ and his lawyers. I told him that I could
not risk the health, safety and welfare of my wife and child and pleaded with
him not to change his Will. I did not want to have to get involved in any legal
dispute with ‘Lilith’ and was concerned about what she might do to her father
if he tried to change his Will. Besides, my wife’s family lived in Queensland,
our children had friends and relatives here, and I had never had the chance to
learn how to be a real farmer. ‘Edward’ sounded resigned. “It’s not what I
wanted,” he said, “it was meant to be you who inherited the land, not her. I
wanted to buy more land for the other kids too, but after you left, there was
nobody to help me.” He never apologised for the way he had treated me when I’d
asked for his help though. He just said, “Yeah, well, ‘Lilith’ does some bloody
stupid things.” He gave me ‘Eran’s’ address and told me ‘Eddie’ would make sure
he got letters and sent me mail. ‘Eran’ had been ‘Edward’s’ friend for years
but it turns out he was using my grandfather too. I never got a response to any
of the letters I sent ‘Edward’, or even ‘Eran’ when I wrote to ask why.
I contacted ‘Bollard 2’, the [DELETED] cop, and asked him for help to
get a letter to ‘Edward’ but despite his efforts, there was no response.
Eventually, ‘Bollard 2’ suggested I “front up” to my relatives and said he’d
done all he could. His response suggested that I was somehow at fault and he
never responded to my emails again. I contacted Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in
[DELETED] and asked for their help. They serviced the area. They said ‘Edward’
had been unresponsive to their efforts and that was that. Finally, I managed to
find ‘Lara A’ and then ‘Sue B’ on Facebook and exchanged emails for a few
months. They had been real friendly at first and I had hopes they had not
assimilated the same vile behaviours as ‘Lilith’ and ‘Bull’. Like ‘Micha’ had,
but my hopes were dashed. The last email each of them sent to me was completely
unexpected. They had not sent anything for weeks and when they did, only ‘Sue
B’ provided any insight as to why. She made an unfounded accusation and several
nasty, spiteful remarks. ‘Lara A’s’ was brief with no real reason, but both
revealed their true nature, and following ‘Edward’s’ death I learned the reason
why. I have included some of the email messages they sent below. These provide
supporting evidence regarding the behaviour and nature of ‘Lilith’ and ‘Micha’
as I have written in this Timeline of Abuse.
They indicate, in ‘Lara A’ and ‘Sue B’s’ own words, the same behaviour
that ‘Lilith’ practiced when I was a child, and that this never changed, and
that ‘Micha’s’ behaviour never did either. ‘Lilith’ and ‘Micha’ did to the
other children exactly what they did to me, and they clearly assimilated the
same behaviour in order to get what they want. ‘Lara A’ and ‘Sue B’ may be
limited in intellect, but they are clearly just as manipulative, deceitful,
spiteful and vindictive as ‘Lilith’ and ‘Micha’. ‘Adam C’ simply blocked me
when I tried to contact him.

Hi
yer pa gave [‘Micha’] land and he sold it as soon as he got it and never told
us or pa about it we found out later though, pa was devestated about it. Im
really hurt about that as pa worked so hard for that land and it just got sold.
Its
funny what you say about mum she hasnt changed much at all. It sounds like she
did the same thing to you what she did to [‘Micha’] & [‘Sarah’]
relationship. She was sooo nasty to [‘Sarah’] & [‘Sarah’] family i cant
even begin to tell you what lengths she went to break them up there marriage
and in the end it got to much for [‘Sarah’] and she left [‘Micha’] its so sad.
And embarrising what mum did.
Mum
still smokes and drinks alot of wine but I guess its her life and i gave up
tiring to get her to change her ways.I just learn from her what not to do and
turn out like. [‘Micha’] told me about [‘Claud’s’] new relationship and child,
i dont think he agree's with the situation. How ever i didnt know about
[‘Claud’] talking to pa on a regular basis that a bit scary. Anyways i dont
think our family can get any more messy, talk to you again soon. : ) I still
cant believe im talking to you after all these years.

‘Sue

thanks
so much that explains alot i think its to late [‘Micha’] already has plans to
over take the farm and made it quite clear to us that we will get nothing, not
that it bothers us. But yer he tired the bully thing with us but we didnt
really respond so he doesnt see us as any threat towards the farm. Iv got the
photo's, names and stuff to help with your family tree but there at pa's. ill
have a look when i go home next. thanks again.

‘Sue B Shyte’ [DELETED]
Hi
yep ‘Lara A’ rang me and told me she sent you and email. Children take in alot
when there young i remember alot of things. We learnt from a young age that in
our family you have to be understanding and forgiving. I dont hate [‘Micha’]
for what he has done, i just feel sadden by the sort of person he is to hurt pa
the way he did and that he has lost what trust he had left of the family. I can
tell you know we havent really got the time of day for him, as they say he is
still our step brother so i still talk to him occasionally and mind [his son]
for him. [‘Lilith’s’] still our mother no matter how much hurt she caused i
still accept thats the sort of person she is and i cant change that just learn
from it.
As
for the questions before [‘Micha’] recieved all of [DELETED] Hills which is
half the farm. When we moved to [DELETED] to help pa and nana, not long after
that dad couldnt find work mum used to be horrible to him including hitting him
and punching him in front of us kids. When mum devorced dad she wouldnt let us
kids see him. We adventually were able to see him every second weekend. However
when dad left mum started hitting [‘Lara A’], then when [‘Lara A’] left she
started hitting me by that time [‘Adam C’] was big enough to put a stop to it.
She is still very nasty but thats her personality. [‘Adam A’ plays football and
plays in the ruck he is very very tall and lanky but is a real nice bloke he
still lives in [DELETED] but not with mum as he stated he hasn't go time for
that stupid bitch and he doesnt talk to [‘Micha’] has [‘Micha’] is always
calling him lazy and putting him down. Pa isnt going so well at the moment has
the cold is getting to him and he had a fall the other day in the shed an hurt
himself pretty bad. Any ways id better do some more study for my exams, talk
later.

Dear
‘Lee’,
Sorry
it has taken me so long to get back to you, the internet decided it was not
going to work for me (bad signal). i think it cut out before it could
finish attaching pictures. The property i am on is 170km west of [DELETED]
and its raining so i can now answer most of your questions which i wanted to
tell you days ago.
i
attended primary school and high school at [DELETED], i hated school
camps in primary school a had very few friends and
i did a lot of standing for myself, i hate thinking about it. high
school was ok i enjoyed most class, loved physical education and art class
and year 12 well i won't forget it there was only six of us. five girls
and one boy, there would have been two boys but one died of cancer, within the
same year we had 2003 bushfires and i attended [DELETED] Secondary college
for 3 weeks because my school was shut.
in
the end it all worked out and i received high enough marks to get into
[DELETED], Diploma Conservation and land management, studied and
work part time for two years as well as some work
experience i got a job working for ecosystems management, that
involved travelling and looking at all the recorded data of the fires
history, i worked there for 10 months it was just a small project and then someone
else take over that was in 2006
Late
2006 i applied for project firefighter for 2007, i had two interviews and had
to pass a health fitness test carrying 15.4kg, and walk 4.5km within
45mins i did it easy (42mins) i was a project firefighter for two
years i was based at [DELETED], it was during this time Pa decided to clean up
the orchard, so its still there its only half the size it still has really good
fruit. growing up mum would do the mail run from [DELETED] out to
[DELETED] every monday, wednesday and friday we spent a lot of time out on the
farm and every weekend and school holidays helping with lamb marking, hay
making, and horse riding. Pa bought ‘Sue B’ and i horses to ride which was
a lot of fun, but we did have a few accidents, the worst ones seem to
happen to me broke my middle left hand finger and fell off head first in
2003, luckily i was wearing a helmet and only got a
little memory loss.
[‘Micha’]
married [‘Sarah’] [DELETED] 2003 and only lasted two and half years, their
son [‘Bull’] is ten years old this year, his a nice kid, has
blue eyes and blonde/brown hair, sometimes a little cheeky, he visits [‘Micha’]
every second weekend. Our grandmother i got to spend a bit of time with
her, but looking back i never asked questions like what was mum like
when she was little? or what was it like growing up? it would be great if
you could tell me some things she told you, i spent the weekend with her
before she went to the hospital and never came back, her funeral was
in march 1997 where were you? mum said she sent you a letter or called
[‘Claud’] to tell you i don't know which one true? did you hear anything? oh
and don't worry about Nana's recipe books there safe at mums place, i also
have a copy them.
Our
Grandfather has learnt a lot from [‘Micha’s’] betrayal, Pa told me
[‘Micha’] blames him (Pa) for his marriage braking up! and i can get details of
Pa brothers and sisters i spent a bit of time with Uncle [‘Rob’] and [‘Jon’],
but i can only send them to by email in the first week of september? is
this ok? plus all the photos of you when you were a little kid with blonde
hair.
i
have attached family farm photos and surrounding area to this email,
i hope you get them this time, i will send some
more photos from my other camera soon,

Hey
Bro,
Yes
i agree our grandmother's raspberry slice is good, i can kind of
understand isolation living out here sometimes for a few days with no one
to see or just have chat with can be annoying sometimes but we all go though
different stages of isolation, you don't like pumpkin scones.... i can stand
them mum made some way back i must have been 15 years old at the time
and their yuk ;P even Pa's dogs old why and salt would not eat the scones.
sorry
to hear about your wife's last grandparent pancreatic cancer is horrible i'm
not good with death either, people should make the most of the time they have
left with loved ones.
The old
blue car that pa gave to you i think pa gave it to someone
else not sure?, i remember [‘Bull’] (my father) driving us all up to
[DELETED] to see the snow. oh and as for that silly tart fire commissioner
Nixon she went to dinner while the rest of the state burns.. i am glad she has
gone, did you see a few weeks back where the hawk players tried to
take on big bad barry and lost.? and in your second last email
to you wanted to know what my story was leaving [DELETED] and all well i
can tell you our mother was part of why i left and i wanted something
different career wise i felt like i was trapped in [DELETED],
mother never getting out of bed, staying up to early hours of the morning,
smoking and drinking in the end before i left mum was not helping at all his 86
years old we had shearing to do, so i ended up doing all the cooking for
the shearing and monday morning Pa had forgotten the wool packs so i drive back
into [DELETED] grabbed the wool packs and back out to Pa's i left there at
8:30pm and went to mum's only to be blasted into next month about an extra $900
dollars well that was the final straw i was not doing summer crew and i
was not staying in [DELETED] for another second at her house i drove to
[‘Micha's’] and stayed and [‘Bull's’] for a couple of days and then by the
following week i was back here in NSW safe and sound away from
her, as nice and welcoming as she can be our mother has a lot of
mental issues happy and nice and then crazy like a two way personality.
Anyway
i hope you have had a good day i would have sent this yesterday but the
service was out again, say hello to everyone for me

After these emails the girls only replied to my emails the girls only
sent brief messages every few weeks. There were six from ‘Lara A’ and two from
‘Sue B’, and ‘Sue B’s’ followed within four days of ‘Lara A’s’. They seemed to
be winding things down, as if they had received the answers to questions they
had been discussing between themselves. After weeks of silence, I received the
following.
‘Sue B Shyte’ [DELETED]
So
much for confidential emails! Who else are you going to send my emails to you
from me? God knows what hatered things you put in them.The trust i had for you
has gone out the window. The relationship i had with [‘Micha’] has now gone
thanks to you. I suppose that was your plan all along, stupid me. Why dont you
get off your computer and find yourself a real job instead of ruining peoples
lives. I am not sending you anymore emails or contacting you ever ever again i
have learnt my lesson. Good bye for ever. From your no longer step sister.

‘Lara
A Shyte’ [DELETED]
To
‘Lee’,
Please
don't contact me via phone/email EVER again.
from
‘Lara A’.
P.S
TRY to forget and forgive your past you can't live your life with so much
dislike towards some people...goodbye.

I have no idea what the accusations were about. I never sent their
emails to anybody. After the way they have behaved, and what they have done
since, however, I have no concerns about their claims to confidentiality.
People who hide behind this and privacy laws while behaving like this should
not be allowed to conceal their vile nature by misusing laws and should be
exposed for what they are so any future, potential victims have a chance to
protect themselves. They never made good on the promise to send photos of
myself or my grandparents from when I was a child. I have only a few photos of
me from when I was a teenager at [DELETED]. ‘Myshell’ (my cousin) sent them to
me. ‘Lilith’ never let me have any of me or my relatives from ‘Edward’ and
‘Sharleen’s’ side of the family. After my sixth birthday, ‘Lilith’ never even
let me meet any of them except her parents and mother’s brother, ‘Iain Coop’. I
often wonder why. But ‘Lara A’ did send a few photos of ‘Edward’ and
‘Sharleen’s’ farm. It looked barren, dry and lifeless. I got one of those bad
feelings when I saw it. The photos depicted a place of death and hopelessness.
The girls never helped me correspond with our grandfather. Reading back
over their emails, it becomes obvious that it was they who were playing me the
whole time. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and instead of helping, they
inflicted the same kind of nastiness ‘Lilith’ inflicted on people, with the
added insult of telling me to, in effect, get over it. You will also see
that ‘Lilith’ and ‘Micha’s’ intentions had gone almost exactly as planned. I’d
been driven off and ‘Micha’ convinced ‘Edward’ to sign over half his land, the
property at [DELETED] Hills, so he could start his own farm with his wife and
son. ‘Micha’ sold the land almost immediately. He refused to share his
ill-gotten gains with ‘Lilith’ as promised. ‘Lilith’ responded by doing to
‘Micha’ and his wife ‘Sarah’ what she had done to me and ‘Elizabeth’. ‘Sarah’
took their son and left ‘Micha’.
