The Deceit… Through Black Beauty’s Eyes.

The Deceit… Through Black Beauty’s Eyes.

Living in the red house came to an end. Mom, me, and my two siblings moved back to Philly, in our own apartment. We moved to Richard Allen Projects, on the second floor. Boy it felt good to be in our own place. We were a family again. I just knew the parties were going to start backup. While I am thinking one thing, new s**t started to unravel before my eyes. Tim Sr. Who were my mom’s husband, began being abusive towards my mom. I never seen my father beat on my mother at the club house, but times when my mom and her siblings would argue. It was mentioned, the abuse from my mom’s husband. Me, I physically never seen it till now. Now, I am starting to understand a lot of s**t that was going on. My mom used to run in and out the house a lot, with her girlfriend Sharon. Mom was not home a lot, and when she was home, mom and Tim Sr. Would be in their room with the towel across the lining of the floor door, then after they would come out the room, and they would argue and fight. They would always make up after they fought and continued as if nothing happened. On nice summer days, me, and my siblings would go down to Ms. Sharon’s house to play with her kids. We would go outside and look for change, to buy penny candy from the stand, and have so much fun. Mom and Ms. Sharon would be in the bathroom with Tim Sr., and the towel would be across the lining of the door on the floor. We didn’t care, because we were able to do whatever we wanted to do!! One day mom came home, her and Tim were arguing. Mom was pregnant again and the f****d up thing was, Ms. Sharon was pregnant as well. Rumor was, Ms. Sharon and mom were pregnant by a septa driver. I didn’t care about the rumors to young, but as I was getting older, I was hearing a lot of craziness about mom. Mom and Tim Sr., had gotten into a real bad fight. Tim threw a set of keys, striking mom in the left eye. Mom blacked out and beat the s**t out of Tim for the first time. Me and Fatimah were trying to help mom. One thing for sure, TIM never beat on the kids, he loved us, and he always took good care of us. The day of that incident, Aunt Roberta started coming down to visit and help take care of mom. Mom went legally blind in her left eye. Auntie came to the rescue, I love aunt Roberta. Aunt Roberta is my favorite, out of the other 4 sisters that mom has. Auntie loves me, as I was her own. She would bring things for me and my siblings, when she would visit, not knowing if mom had things for us or not. Auntie began messing with this guy name Dave, which later in the story Dave is the Devil that destroyed me and my family’s life. Auntie would come and spend a couple of days with us. Me and Fatimah is going outside to play with Ms. Sharon kids, we going out and caught auntie and Dave in the hallway doing the nasty. Back then having s*x to us was doing the nasty. Auntie acted as she was sitting on Dave’s lap, but we knew. Fatimah and myself acted as if we didn’t see anything, and we continued on outside. They were more focused not is. Laughing out loud!!! Auntie was upset one day, accusing Tim Sr. had touched her inappropriately and tried having s*x with her. Auntie and mom were arguing!!! Auntie got mad and left the next day. I was very agitated, that auntie was leaving, I didn’t want her to leave. Mom continued on with her day and went down to Ms. Sharon’s house. Months later Tim Sr., was arrested for god know’s what and mom had Jason, and Ms. Sharon had her son as well. Times started getting hard, while mom was running the streets, because Tim Sr., was the man who was taking care of his family, in regards of his addition. Tim is gone know, he is in prison and we have to fend for ourselves. I heard stories of mom and Ms. Sharon, selling their bodies for money. I didn’t care, as usually cause mom never brought it around us. Mom came in the house, from Ms. Sharon’s house crying, saying we were moving. She never said why, but we were moving back to Jersey. “Oh boy here we go again”! We moved back to Jersey, but didn’t move right back to my grandparents house. We stayed in this high riding building in Camden, soon as you get off the bridge to your left, coming from PA. It was an old man, that my mom stayed with. I remember we were all in one room, sleeping in one bed, with 4 kids now. He was laying behind my mom and we were in front of my mom. I would feel my mom’s body moving and she would be making stupid noises. I knew what she was doing, but she thought we were sleeping. At the time my mind was curious as to why she was making noises. It wasn’t a very long stay there, we ended up moving in with my grandparents.
