Chapter 2

                                                                   MY CHILDHOOD LIFE WAS No FUN 

Ok Kate, let's begin with your childhood, what was it like? She asked

I usually answer this type of questions but I'm not in the mood today.

How does that help? I don't want to talk about such darkness that I'm still trying to run away from.

You see Miss Kate, if am gonna help you I need to know about these basic things. So tell me all about the environment you grew up in.

My childhood life was never fun, it had no love, no comfort, family full of hate, never knew what it felt to live a normal life.

All I knew was fights, countless fights. Hate was a friendly feeling, I never felt love. People said I was always shy (she brings out a piece of white clothes to dab the streaming tears rolling down her eye) lol.... I was never a shy person. What they saw was fear, fear of the unknown, fear of what the future may hold.

You're the second person am talking to about my past and I hope a time will come that I can talk about my past without regrets, fear and tears.

January 10-1998

You dare not! What do you take me for huh? You went out there spent our last savings on drink and girls only to come home expecting food, you better go back there and demand food from those bitches you spent my hard earned money on to make you dinner because you dare not touch my pot talk more of eating from it.

What do you mean by no food eh? Woman, don't tempt me. I work all day just to see that there is food for that ungrateful mouth of yours, this is my home and in my house I do what I like and that includes eating.

Kiefer you never provide for this family. You have to kill me before you lay your hand on this food, all you do is to go out there and get wasted like a teenager. What example do you set for our kids?

"Mom... Mommy why are you shouting?", I asked as I stepped out of my room.

"Kate go back to your room, go on baby", she said.

Mike take your sis to her room.

"Mommy will you read to me?", I asked

Yes..... Yes now run along momma got stuff to talk out with your dad.

Okay momma good night, I love you

"Night baby", said dad.

Night! I said as I walked up to my room with my big brother. 

And to think my parents would stop arguing.

Puff!

I stayed up all night listening to their heated arguement.

Hey woman am so sick and tired of this marriage. I think...

My mom didn't even let my dad finish his statement

You think I want this anymore just so you know am taking custody of the kids, don't want them to end up as pathetic as you! She screamed.

that statement got dad more upset what the hell did you just call me?

"You heard me loud and......

I heard the sound, loud and clear the  slap dad gave mom." immediately l felt my face wet as if I was the one who got slapped.

Mom's next words broke my heart even more.

You hit me? How dare you hit me you crazy bastard? Mom screamed

  I work hard all day to feed our family, all you do is spend every penny on sluts. She screamed with a shaky voice.

You're such a selfish bastard...... S.. So selfish and self centered.

At that point I could tell mom was crying

Look at your kids they can't even proudly say you are their dad, you were never there not even for them. What's your sons favorite color? huh! she stammered

Mom stammers only when she is angry. Ge... get out of my house and go back to the sluts were you came from.
