Ch7 - The Lord's Prayer.

I thought the only place I can escape from mother's beating was school.. but I guess wrong. Clifford and Aggie never really liked me, but they don't have any reasons not to. Clifford was such a big bully to me, and Aggie.. well she always said I was "smelly". I only smelt because mother doesn't let me wear new clothes. I can't believe father escaped and didn't take me. I dont know how I can survive another day of mother's beating.

Ch6 - While Father is Away

Father was my only protection from mother. When father was around, mother didn't beat me as harsh as she did when he wasn't around. Days came where mother and father suddenly started arguing more often. The result of that was father not coming home. He told me that he was sorry for putting me through all of this alone. The day father left, all I could do is cry. When father was away, mother would play her 'games' with me. Her games were rough, and at the end she always won.

Ch5 - The Accident.

I can't believe I was so close to dying.. there's other days where I thought I was going to die from mother's beating.. but today... I literally almost died. I didn't see none of this coming, I didn't think mother would go this far.. but she did. I have NEVER experienced so much pain in my life then I did tonight. After mother stabbed me, she help wrap my wound.. only because mother wanted to be a nurse back when she was 'good'. But that didn't help my wound stop bleeding, it also didn't help me from almost losing my life.

Ch4 - The Fight for Food.

Mother always said she "forgets" to feed me, but I know she's lying. On mothers good day, she would allow me to eat some of brothers left over dinner.. but only if I finished all of my chores. Every night I would go to bed starving, thinking that tomorrow might be the day I would get food. After days of mother not feeding me, I would go to school and steal the other kids lunch. It didn't take too long for the teachers to figure out it was me, and for being caught.. was a phone call to mother. Being caught led mother to beat me more and less food for me at home.

Ch3 - Bad Boy

Mother's behavior has changed so much, Im getting very scared. I've never seen her this mad.. ever. Mother's discipline was at worst when father went off to work. When dad was gone, all mom did was lay on the couch and drink a feel booze. She would demand us to find things for her, and if I couldnt find it.. I would get whooping. I loved when father came home on the weekends, that meant no beating at all. Mother did her hair, and dressed up nicely for father. Two months later, things suddenly changed. Father began to work a 24hr shift, and mother began beating on me once again. Mother told me that I have made her life a living hell, but I couldnt think why she said that? All I ever try to do is make mother happy. Next thing I know is.. mother is grabbing me and putting me over the flames on the stove. I was terrified for my life.

Ch2 - Good Times.

Happy, loving, and a caring family is what we were all about.. I loved spending every holiday together, always spending time with each other. Dad wasn't around a lot because of his job, but when he came home.. I ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug I could give. Mom always seemed so happy, especially with dad around. She was all about family and nothing else mattered to her. I miss that about her. Now and days, she doesn't even take care of herself, nor us.

Ch1 - The Rescue.

The day that I got rescued, I was very much terrified. I didn't know what to do, if I should run away or just stay sitting in the main office. Once I saw the police officer I knew they were going to call my mom down to the school. I was frighten and begged them to not do anything about the situation. Although I was tired of the same lunch (peanut butter sandwiches and a few carrot sticks) and getting beat by mama, I didn't want her to get taken away.
