BJ was usually isolated from the other kids.
He has his fun, though. A life-long music lover, BJ recorded songs from the radio and dreamed of becoming a deejay. And he often went fishing with his favourite aunt, who lived next door. It was Sophie that jumped in and recued BJ when he fell into the lake. She also protected him from neighbourhood bullies. Everyone knew Sophie didn’t put up with nonsense.
As BJ got older, though, he began to realize his aunt’s behaviour wasn’t entirely normal. When his great-grandmother died just weeks after his high school graduation, BJ knew he needed to go to New York to be with his mother, brother and sister. But Sophie had other plans. She blamed BJ for this great-grandmother’s death, so that his family would be afraid of him. Then she terrorized BJ into supporting her financially for the next 13 years, using her accusations and psychic warning to keep him under her domination.ver menos
