The first day
I was on this day. I was brought into the world at Hendrickson hospital in Abilene TX. I was a couple weeks premature. -
Age 3
My sister was born. I held great animosity towards her for years afterwords. I blamed her for my parents seperation that would follow her birth by only a couple years. I love her dearly and we get along fine now. -
Age 6
My dad gets sent to prison for the 14th time in his life. My mother leaves him and takes my older sister, my younger sister, and I with her. I held on to the belief that my dad would come back like he did my whole life. -
Age 8
My Great Grandfather dies. My Mamow was devestated and was never quite the same, although she often hid the pain from me. This is also the year the visits with my dad ceased. I lost all contact with my dad's side of the family. My mother refused his visitation for personnel reasons. -
Age 13
I found cards that my father had sent me, one had an email address with my Fathers name in it. I sent a message and I finally got in contact with him. -
Hopes Dashed
My mom found out about the secret messages between my dad and I. She forbid anymore contact. When my dad didn't protest or do anything about it. I finally realized that I would probably never see him again. -
Age 14
My uncle molested me. I looked at him like a father, seeing as mine was always absent due to a fued between my mother and him. It is also my mom's birthday. She's 5"7 and he's 6"4... she pratically knocked him out when I told her. The same day. -
Mamow.
My mamow passed. she was like another mom to me, and in some ways, closer. I loved her very much. I sunk into a fierce depression and tried to kill myself after her death. I could not cope for years. -
Unpunished
My uncle bribes his way out of any sort of punishment. He has part custody of my younger cousin...even though he molested me AND his pratically step daughter (my best friend) Annah. I lost respect for the govenment that day. -
Age 16
After running away, my mom finally gives me my so awaited for wish: I got to see my dad! I lived with him very briefly, seven months, before coming back. I had fallen behind in school and Garza was my best chance. When I graduate, I plan on going home with him and my step mom. I love MY mom, but I am not done getting to know my father yet.
