PRAYERS

WHEN I WAS ABOUT EIGHT YEARS OLD MY PARENTS SEPARATED AND I WAS FORCED TO LIVE WITH MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER(I SPECIFICALLY USE THE ADJECTIVE BEFORE MOTHER TO EMPHASIS MY DISLIKE FOR HER). IT WAS ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. SHE WAS VERBALLY, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE. HER BOYFRIEND WAS CUT FROM THE SAME COOKIE CUTTER AS HER. SHE WOULD FREAK OUT, HE WOULD BEAT HER AND THEN WE WOULD GO TO A SHELTER. OR BETTER YET, SHE WOULD CHASE OFF AFTER HIM AND I WOULD HAVE TO SLEEP IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. THEN, SHE MOVED ME AWAY FROM MY FAMILY TO ANOTHER TOWN. THAT WAS DEFINITELY HELL. ALL THIS WHILE I PRAYED TO GO HOME TO MY DAD'S. MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED. I WAS FREED FROM HER THE DAY SHE TRIED TO STAB ME AND MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND CAME TO MY RESCUE. THE POINT OF MY STORY IS IF I HAD GONE HOME BEFORE SHE TRIED TO STAB ME I MAY NOT HAVE EVER BEEN PERMANENTLY TAKEN OUT OF HER CARE. BUT THINGS HAPPENED THE WAY THEY DID, AND HER OWN ACTS FREED ME FROM HER ABUSIVE CLUTCH! ES (AT LEAST FOR MY CHILDHOOD). NOW I AM A GROWN WOMAN WITH A CHILD OF MY OWN AND SHE IS SUING ME. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HER THEN AND I GUESS I NEVER WILL. BUT WHAT DOES SHE SEE WHEN SHE LOOKS BACK AT HER WASTED LIFE AND SHE DOESN'T SEE ME. SHE IS EVIL. AND I SUPPOSE I WILL NEVER TRULY REST UNTIL SHE DOES. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY PROTECTION AS WELL AS MY FAMILYS'.

I WILL NEVER BE SANE
