Every parent has those moments where they look at their child and think, 'There's a demon in those eyes and no one can see it but me!'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Look at life with the eyes of a child.
The real demon in my life is my father.
When your child is looking up at you, and you are putting them to bed at night, and they are just lying there, you have to remind yourself that's what it's all about.
A family going through a divorce, a child under attack by a demon, all these things I could relate to.
There's nothing more haunting than the cry of a child that cannot be returned with food - the most fundamental expectation of every human being.
That thing of briefly losing sight of a child happened to me when the kids were younger, and you can't see them in the supermarket or wherever. It's a terrible, terrible moment... the most unimaginable horror.
I think any parent, at some time or other, has thoughts of their child dying. That's probably one of the worst things that could ever happen to a parent.
Being a parent is weird. It changes people in subtle and unsubtle ways. In my case, it awoke a kind of manic sentinel in my brain. Anything in the house that might be a threat to the kids or to my wife gets terminated - food, sharp edges, poor wiring.
I did spend a lot of time as a child very confused about whether I had a devil in me, or whether I was in a state of grace. I mean, these ideas are so potent to anybody with half an imagination.
When I take my kid to school, all the parents stop and stare.
