chapter 5
Mother gave me time limits to clean up the kitchen and do the dishes. One night she gave me 20 minutes, she said not a second or minute longer or I would not be eating again. Considering I have not ate in three days I was prepared to get it done. Mom, with a knife in her hand told me that if I did not get it done in the right time that she would kill me, it didn’t really faze me because she has threatened me like that before. Mother was drunk like always and she sat in the kitchen with the knife in her hand watching me, I knew something was wrong. I saw out of the corner of my eye the knife leave mothers hand and stab me right above my stomach. I knew it was an accident I knew she didn’t mean to do that. Mother bandaged me up that night she had no remorse at all, when she was done bandaging me up she sent me on saying I had 30 minutes to clean up the kitchen. I told father what had happened, he seemed as if he did not even care. I could feel the relationship between father and me falling apart. I had no more respect for him anymore. That night mom for the first time in a long time showed that she cared. I knew that she was pretending that she cared but it was nice while the time lasted. I finally felt a friendship with my brothers, but I knew it wasn’t going to last. Too bad the time came to and end and mother was back to being her self. I just really wish things would go back to being the “HAPPY DAYS”.

David, I wish I could help you so much. I feel so powerless to your mom. It seems like there is nothing I can do. When I seen you eating your throw up it broke my heart. I know you were calling out to me. I wanted do help you out so bad but your mother is crazy and I know it would have ended badly if I were to help you. I try to talk her out of things all the time but there is really no talking to her. I really need you to stop stealing food from the store and from school. If you did that I could get food for you without your mom knowing. I am so sorry for not doing anything when your mom fed you ammonia. I didn't know what she was doing. Hang in there bud. You'll get through this. You always do.

ReplyDeleteDavid, I am so sorry that I wasnt there to help you through everything that your mother took you through. I just thought that if I helped you then your mother would try and do me the same. I wish I would have stood up for myslef and you. I knew I was wrong with not helping you in any kind of way. I really do want you to know that I love and care about you. Im sad that your now with children services and not with us. I hope your new parents are taking real good care of you. Me and your mother is now serving a long life sentence in prison.
I wish we could have done something to help you, but we were all scared that she would turn on us as well. We all miss having you to play with and we wish we could help. I'm sorry.
