Dear Reader,


This morning I woke to the sounds of arguing in the living room.

My grandmother slapped my brother across the face.


And he stood up to her.


And they started threatening to throw him out.
And sending him to live with our drug addict mother, and her boyfriend.


I hate it when they bring up my mom.
I hate it whenever they get mad at us, they tell us we can go live with her.

It makes me so angry.

My brother can be a very shitty person sometimes,
but no, you don't have the right to hit him.


There's a point in time that physical punishments don't have effect anymore, and that is when a child is old to enough to distinguish right from wrong.

Hitting a child anywhere else but their bottom, consistently,
is abuse.
If you physically punish your child, you have to use the bottom as the designated area to do so.


They should be taking away privileges, and grounding him at this point.

And I don't care who you are, or what your child has done/is doing,
You don't EVER hit them across the face..
Or if they're as old as we are,
Don't hit them period.


She kept trying to justify it, and belittling him, and eventually she started to cry about how we ruined her life, and she's sick of us, and wishes she never took us in...
Making herself out to be the victim.
So she wouldn't have to take accountability for her actions.


I've said before,
there's a difference between respect, and fear.


She thinks she has the right to hit us.


She's hit me before.
She said I deserved it, when I didn't.
Her kids were on her side.
Even my uncle Danny.

I'll tell that story later.


Now I know for certain,
that if something happens,


She won't think twice about hitting me.
And she won't be sorry for it.
She'll think that it's okay.

I'm not safe here.
I want out, but I have nowhere to go.
I don't have money, or a car, or driver's license.


I'm so angry, and so fed up.
I'm losing all faith in this excuse of a family.


I wish I was as brave and as strong as my brother,
to fight back.


And I wish that fighting back wouldn't result in being homeless.


Sincerely,
WorriedAndAfraid
