Dear Dumb Diary,
I hate him.
I hate my father.
I hate him so much.
I hate the way he drinks. I hate it when he's drunk. He's always drunk. He's always always always drunk. And he sucks when he is.
I'm so scared dearest diary.
He hurts me, he hurts Martha, he hurts James and Henry and he tries to hurt Mary.
I will never let him for as long as I live hurt Mary. He will never lay his hands on her.
He gave me a black eye. He called me things I don't want to repeat because I don't want to be scared of you.
I wish Mom was here.
I wish she was here.
I'm so scared.
I'm so fucking scared.
Sincerely,
J.Laurens
