Chapter 4
As time went on Mother would forget to feed me dinner. In the morning I was lucky if I got some leftovers from my brothers breakfast. I became so hungry I started stealing food from kids in my class. One of my teachers took interest in and had Mother called to the school. She took her newborn baby and told the school that I was crazy and wanted attention. When I was unable to steal food from kids, I would go to the store during recess and steal from there. One day I stole a lunch from the school, but when I got home mother made me throw it up and eat it. Instead of taking me to school Mother made me run. On my way there I would stop at houses and tell others I forgot my lunch and ask if they could make me something. Soon though Mother found out. For my punishment she had me drink ammonia. I thought I was going to die. After the second time she only made me drink Clorox and dish washing liquid. I continued to fight her so that I may live another day.

David I am so sorry. I find it easier for me if I just act like your mom is perfect. I hate to see you abused tiger but I dont know what to do. I love you and I hope you never forget that
ReplyDeleteLOVE, DAD
You are a very bad boy! You deserve everything that happens to you and everything I give you. You shouldn't have stolen food and I warned you that bad things would happen if you stole again.

I want to stop her, but I can't. Or at least I feel as though I can't. I guess I know deep down I could take the kids and run, be the man, stand up for myself. But then I would lose her for sure. There's something inside me that makes me feel like I would die if I had to live without her. She needs me. She's sick, and she's the mother of my children. Poor David.. I try to help him sometimes, when I see the abuse through my numbness. Apparently Catherine made him drink ammonia and god knows what else today. I can't decide if that's worse than making him eat his own vomit. I try to stay away, because I don't know what to do. If I can't see it, it's not happening. So when I can help it, I don't watch.
