My Parent's Divorce ruined my life...

I remember how our home used to be loud with my mother's cries. She would scream loud to call people to her rescue.

My siblings and I were just kids, I was the oldest and I was just Nine years and really didn't understand what was happening.

She would scream continuously for help, and the following morning, her Face would be battered and swollen. It went on for years and I grew up hating my father for it.

The last time it happened, it was my father and his sister beating her together. They even dragged her on the floor and my Aunt kept raining abuses on her, "serves you right, you witch" she said continuously
"I remember how hard we wept for her" her blouse was covered with blood, She passed out when she couldn't take the beating anymore, and dad and my wicked Aunt left.

"She could have died from the numerous beatings " I thought
I could recall how fast I ran to her friend's place, she was few street away.

She became well again after two weeks in the hospital but she never came back home.
Months later Dad said he should never see us with Mom "that witch is gone" and informed us of signing the papers.

I became the "mom" to my siblings, watching my father eat my burnt /tasteless food was always a pleasure, but I never had the chance to tell him "serves you right"

My grades dropped badly, I started to lose interest in school, there was nothing I loved more than skipping classes.

We go to school looking dirty and rough and I couldn't meet up with the house chores.
Eventually dad came to our rescue and we got two house helps, a boy and a girl, then my whole life changed...
