It’s no surprise that men don’t stay in her life, why would any man stay in her life?

Her father didn’t. Is that where it started? Daddy issues?

She was 5 years old. It was the last time she would see her dad.

Her mom and dad would fight so bad , that she would hide under the table screaming and crying for her parents to stop hurting each other. They wouldn’t stop.

Her own parents wouldn’t stop! Was it something she did, or said.? Was it her fault that they fought? Before her they were happy. Now all they do is fight.

But she knew this fight was different, her mom got away. And as soon as she did she called the cops on a pay phone. By then her dad and the little girl were walking in the alley. She had on no shoes , walking in the alley. Glass, rocks, hurt her feet. So her dad picked her up.

Her dad placed her in the front of a cop car, they arrested her mom, even though she didn’t do anything but protect her. They took her because she “smelt like alcohol”. The same alcohol that her dad throw at her mom.

Her mom had just gotten out of prison, now she went back in a matter of days.

The little girl believed she would never be loved by anyone. She is damaged. Seen so much at such a small age.

This little girl grew up to have 2 kids of her own, a little girl and her son.

Now mind you, her daughter up til the age she was 3 years old. Seen her mother get beat, bruises on her face, wrists, knots on her forehead. Much, much more.

Her Mother left and was able to give her daughter a LIFE! A life worth wanting, a life worth making her own.

The cycle had to stop somewhere right?

The cycle did stop. Then happened again when that little girl was 6, she would hear her mom being chocked at 3:30am. What kind of life is this…? This isn’t normal.

It’s no wonder why no one stays.

The difference between that 5 year old and the little 3 year old. Is that I made a promise to give my kids a better life than what I had at the age of 5.
