chapter seven

I am all alone with mother now.... my father packed up all his stuff that he had here at her house and he left. Before mother loaded all her sons and me into the car father had came into the kitchen while i was doing my morning chores he had told me that he was sorry that he couldn' t stay around the house anymore and that he was sorry that i had to keep living like this, i knew that he had been trying to talk mother out of the beatings and punishments for me and even though it didn't work at all he was my hope for escape. He has always been my hero even though he hasn't been able to help me much i never thought that he would leave me and give up on helping me. After today i know that her beatings will be twice as bad as they were when mother and father were together because she would blame me for fathering leaving. I guess i am all on my own now, no friends, no family anymore.... mother was right, im a nobody.
