There was one time when I took courage in life and it was when I stood up for my mom and I against my father. Ever since my older sister and I were little toddlers we were scared of our father. We never told him how we felt because we never wanted to make him mad because lets be honest he use to beat us, so we were just always scared.

He obviously did not like the fact I yelled at him so we started arguing. I finally then had enough after we argued for so long and told him how I have actually been feeling. Basically that he is never around anymore to begin with that if anything happens he should not even care nor get involved because it just causes more problems. He did not like that and so we argued more but then he finally got the hint each time something would happen and I would mouth off to him. I cannot have respect for a man who cuts out his kids just to impress his new girlfriend, I cannot do it. He does not realize how bad he has hurt my mother, sister and I the last ten or so
