Beautiful little Lyn...

Being any young woman, no matter how beautiful, can be difficult. So much of her self worth revolves around her appearance. The mirror can be a vessel that holds such distortion, such hatred. Looking in it can be the hardest part of a girl's day, especially without positive reinforcement from loved ones.

Before Squeaky tried to assassinate Ford, Charles Manson was in prison for a while and she felt helpless, wanting to do something to get him out, unsure of how. At one point she began writing a book about “the family.” In it she details her first meeting with Manson and her first year with him, a time of love, release and exploration.

She talks about how Charlie was the first man to make her feel beautiful and sexy, the first man to really MAKE LOVE to her: to make sex feel loving.

She says that the first person to make her feel ugly was her father and hints at sexual abuse. Other men followed, always making her feel used, but she took any attention she could get rather than be left alone…

“Every girl should have a daddy like Charlie. Should! Deserves! to have a daddy like Charlie,” she exclaims in Hendrickson’s documentary.

Charlie aside, every little girl does deserve to have a daddy that makes her feel beautiful, precious, special and adored. Without that…

well, they could turn out like Squeaky.
