toddler
when I was around 2 years old my baby sister was born in May. I can remember that my mom and dad worked at a chicken plant. my mom worked during the night and my dad worked during the day. One day ICE came to my parents to work and took my dad. I remember working about my dad, I was really close to him, and crying about how we are never going to see him again. It was really tough for me. -
The tear
at this point, my dad was back in the united states now. but he changed. he became abusing. he would come at night yelling at my mom for not doing but taking care of us. sometimes he would get mad and grab one of our little shoes and threaten my mom, all I did was just stand there crying because I thought if I would've done something he would threaten me too. -
Oh Brother
we just had a little brother. My dad left us a week before my little brother was born. my mom had to get a babysitter for me and my siblings when my mom to go to work. My mom usually told me every time she dropped us off at the babysitter "take care of them just like they were yours". so I did. -
The figure
a few years past, my dad tried coming back into our life. my mom didn't like that, I remember when she told him that "he can't be coming back and in-out of their life", I could tell that made my dad think. After that, he left and came back a week later. he told my mom he had to take care of himself before he can take care of a family but he said he will try to help out the family. so he stayed. -
The Crash
one day when my mom and dad got into a fight, my dad decided that he wanted to take us away from my mom, so we all pilled up in the car and we left, I could tell my dad had a buzz. but all I remember waking up to an upside-down car in a ditch. my brother was in the front seat, I and my sister were in the back without seatbelts. my mom didn't believe my dad when he told her we were in a car accident until I called her crying so she rushed to go see us.
