This was a weird one because of the way it was written with disjointed feelings mashed together from every angle and relationship.I felt like I was on a train to nowhere about to jump the track as the story progressed with small snip-its of each situation thrust upon me.
The abuse angle in one was especially hard to endure knowing the silence that goes along with the pain and not just as a parent but as a child from the outside looking inward.
This could be the reasoning that connected the entire plot because while everyone clearly had issues in the end it was the kids who had to endure the most hardships and yes even death.
But by whom? And why?
As parents we are to protect, guide, nurture and support yet you seen very little of this behavior and more of the narcissistic tendencies to mold, shape, and manipulate one another.
As someone who helps others from NPD and DV relationships I know that when parents think the kids aren't listening or understanding they have truly no idea.
The kids no more than we think and while we believe we are protecting them -we often are doing the exact opposite upon staying in such toxicity.
So take that to heart upon reading this story because this title of the "playground" is more like a "merry go round" with a "hamster wheel" that spins out of control.
Affairs, sexual abuse, violence, and more is in here so beware if triggers are not your thing.
If it had been written slightly different I think I would've enjoyed it more but I felt like I was falling into one relationship and then another and not being gradually guided or freely moving about so it felt more forced than anything.
All in all not a bad read for your enjoyment.
