Chapter 6 David
Father is drifting so far from me. After Mother accidentally stabbed me, and Father just wouldn't acknowledge me, he started to stay at work more, and not come home as often. On the days he would come home, he'd be too drunk to function properly. One day when Father came home, he told me he was sorry, packed up all of his things, and left. I didn't want him to leave, but I knew there was nothing I could do. And when Father was gone, Mother starved me more than usual. She went over a week without feeding me, not even little, tiny scraps. No food... I'm not sure I love my father anymore for leaving me.

David,
ReplyDeleteNo one in our house had it as bad as you did, I can promise that. You should know though, that your Mother didn't treat me that well either. Everyday I would drink, and it would be for the main purpose of avoiding your Mother. I know that I should have been a stronger man, and I should have faced your Mother and I should have come home more often, but I didn't. The farther we got apart, I knew the more she would abuse you, and I know I'm a failure as a Father for that too.
Sincerely,
Father
