divorced parents
I grew up in a household of 5 people. Me, my 2 sisters, mom and dad. My mom and dad would fight a lot. I remember one time playing in my sisters room and my mom came in, crying. She said that she was going to go to her mom. 2 hours from our house. I didn’t know exactly what was going on since I was around 8 years old I think. But I didn’t want her to leave so I started crying. Just like my sister. Eventually my mom just went to our neighbors but forgot her bag so came back and took us with her to her mom. This wasn’t going to be the first time. After this they started fighting even more. Then my mom would go upstairs crying. I remember always writing her a letter. Don’t remember what I would write but I do know I always tried to make her happy.

Rising From the Shadow of Abuse
"You're a greedy bitch." The low and intense tenor of my ex boyfriend’s voice conveyed a deep contempt for me. I was in my car waiting for my daughter to come out of his house so I could take her home. But he wasn't letting her out. He was crouched down at the driver's side window with his face disturbingly close to mine, berating me for my "bad behavior" as if I were a child.
