I got home to see some man on the couch. Mama was in the kitchen. I walked past and he started yelling st me for "blocking the t.v". I looked at him confused while my mother just gave me a look of dissapointment before returning to cooking. I went into my room. unfortunately my room didnt have a lock due to my mother refusing me to get one. I was only in 7th grade and she treated me like i couldnt do anything right and like i was nothing but a piece of garbage laying around the house.
I got on my tablet and started playing one of my games. After about 10 minutes my mom burst in saying "we have a guest. Get up and show some hospitality". "who even is he?" i asked while starting to get up. She just gave me a look and left. Why wouldnt she tell me who he was? Whatever i better do what she wants. I helped her set up dinner. Tons of meat and some baby carrots were all on moms fancy silver platters. The door bell rang and my mom went to open it. It was my grandparents, aunt and uncle, and 3 other family members.
As we all sat down, i was forced to sit across from the man. Why wouldnt anyone tell me who he was? I didnt understand. Soon my grandparents asked how my moms "husband was". I choked on my water. Soon everyone was staring at me then went back to conversation. The man was her new husband. Antuan Kosmeny. A pencil sharpener at Anenichyy bros. I didnt understand how she was married but brushed it off.
Soon after everyone left my mom took me into my room and slapped me. She then started yelling how i embarassed her and i was a dissapointment. She then shoved me and i fell on the floor crying. She then pulled my hair and soon my face met the wall. Thankfully the wall only grazed my cheek but everything was a blur after that. All i remeber was crying myself to sleep.
