So lemme just talk about this one time. I ain’t doing it for likes/sympathy. I’m doing it for understanding what too many kids are up against. Know that. Ok? Anyway, one time my dad punched me in the face whilst my body was floating in the air bc he had me by hair. Feet dangling.
Hit me so hard I couldn’t even think. Balled up fist hit me. I didn’t cry bc crying got you more. Turns out he cracked my jaw & loosened some tweet. That night I went to bed knowing what I thought I had to do. I thought I needed to just end it bc I wasn’t gonna let him kill me.
So I proceeded to do what I thought I needed to do. Only for my bdrm door to be kicked in, grabbed me by my hair again. Marched me to the bathroom & poured str8 alcohol on my arms. Wrapped them up, sent me w/slap across the face back to my room while screaming -UR GOING 2 school!
So I went to school the next day. Beat the F up. Stayed in the bathroom until a teacher talked me into going to the counselor. Finally told the counselor what happened. Guess what happened? They called my dad bc he was a well known businessman/preacher & I was deemed problematic.
That night I was terrified to go home. But, I went. He told me he hated me & sent me to live w/his sister & fam. Whole other evangelical nightmare there. Anyway, my point is you don’t know what kids go through at home. & some of y’all really need to learn what to look for so u
can help if a kid needs help. Do not take all parents word for being a good parent. Bc it’s simply not true. & teachers/counselors should know the F better. But, the good ol boys club is real. And it’s harmful. Deadly even. No, my mom had no idea bc my dad took me away from her.
so it wasn’t my mom’s fault. The only reason he was able to take me away from mom is bc he had $ (we were poor on the other side of town) bc he never paid his child support & he married a rich lady. Also, quit blaming moms for all the shit dads do. Ok? Ok. Thanx 4 listening.
I definitely was triggered by that dude this morning & have been reliving some terrorizing shit. If you were too .. I’m so sorry. I see you, feel you and empathize with you. It’s not a joking matter. It’s also not something anyone should turn a blind eye to. 
Take Care of you.
Take Care of you.
Nobody would’ve ever thought my dad was terrorizing us at home. Nobody. He was charming, good looking, always smiling and chumming it up. He was a monster. And a minister. So.
And the truth is ... It pisses me the f*ck off that I’m in my 50s and still triggered by abusive dudes doing abusive shit while others circle jerk them to make them feel ok about being total f*cking condescending abusive dicks. What you do to kids when they are young .. STAYS.
Know that. So. Many. Folks still working shit out from childhoods and if you think you’re better bc you don’t think abt it or whatever .. you’re not. And someday you’ll have to deal with it one way or another. That’s why I don’t keep sh*t bottled up. That doesn’t work.
We wonder why we have so many f*cked up people in this world but don’t take into account how abusive so many parents are and what they do to their kids stays with them their entire lives. Break the f*cking cycle please. Please. Be the total opposite of your abusive parent(s) ..
Parenthood ain’t ownership. Ok? Ok!
