her truth

things getting worse

Living under the same roof with Diego after he knew Sandra was very serious about a divorce became horrible for her and the girls, Diego would come home in a foul mood, would be silent towards Sandra and the girls, was smoking more and drinking more, he didn't really talk to Sandra and didn't really talk to the girls. One day it got to be too much, Sandras father and to the couch while the girls were to the dining room table to be playing, Diego was to the garage to then be slamming things around, Sandra who was cleaning went to investigate.
"Diego?"
Diego looked to Sandra in anger to eye her over.
"Did you take the car part?"
"What car part?"
"I bought a car part for my friends car, I don't know where it is, you took it."
Sandra looked to Diego confused.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't come in here."
It's your man cave.
Diego groaned to then go to his table to then start to slam things for Sandra to roll her eyes to then turn to grab her phone to look at her girls who were playing and her father who was to his tablet to then go to the back yard to call her sister Candra.
"Hello?"
"Ugh, he is slamming shit around."
"What?"
"Okay so, apparently Diego has lost a car part, he blames me and...."
Her sister started to laugh through the phone.
"Sounds like a him problem, why is he blaming you, did you take it?"
"No, I don't even know what he is talking about, but he is slamming things around, I really don't want the girls to be seeing this."
"Let him throw a tantrum, remember what the lawyer said, you need to video all his bad behavior."
"I know but this is ridiculous, I didn't take it and he shouldn't be doing this, he's 29, like really, be an adult!"
"He's never going to be that and he knows your wanting a divorce, he will just act like a child, you need to be the adult and video record everything, remember proof, proof, proof."
Sandra signed to then place her hand to her forehead to rub has she was having a slight anxiety attack, living with Diego now was more horrible then when they were together.
"Okay okay.... I'll do that "
"Okay, remember Sandra you are a strong woman and you need to do what is right for you and the kids. I love you "
"I love you too."
Sandra signed to let her sister go to then look throw the sliding glass door to see Diego inside the kitchen to be slamming things to the counters to be trying to find this car part. Sandra rolled her eyes.
Why would it even be there? I'm so confused.
Sandra took in a deep breathe to then go in when he wasn't looking to then start to video record, once he turned she placed it down to then go to the girls to make sure they weren't too much affected by this.
The girls didn't seem to mind has they played with there mother in the living room, they were also used to there father's behavior, he had slammed doors before, acted like this.
Sandra then looked to Emily with a smile.
"So tonight should we have a movie night, down here in the living room. I know I'm not oma but we can sleep on the air mattress, have some popcorn...."
Sandra gritted her teeth has she heard more slamming in the garage to hear cussing.
The girls ignored it to start to jump around with smiles. Sandra didn't want to sleep upstairs and she didn't want the girls to sleep with there father, he had placed there mattresses in his room to the floor, given he didn't want them to sleep with Sandra who was sleeping on the air mattress in that room.
Sandra didn't want the girls to be sleeping on the ground and also didn't want them to sleep in a room where the bathroom was right there where there father would smoke and how he was behaving Sandra didn't want the girls to be in the war path.
Sandra smiled wider to the girls to then get up to place on some music to keep the girls from hearing this, to then take them to the kitchen to start on the pop corn, Diego then came in after slamming the garage door to go and quick past them to mutter in anger.
"Know you fucking took it you dumb bitch!"
Sandra took in a deep inhale has Diego went past to stomp his way upstairs to then look down at her children who wore nothing but smiles.
Sandra signed to then get the popcorn to place it in a bowl for the girls to then go to the living room to dance a bit for Sandras father to then get off the couch to then go upstairs without saying a word.
Sandra danced with the girls to keep her mind off of things to eventually have a movie going to then go upstairs to grab all there pillows and blankets to then go down stairs to set up the air mattress for the girls and her to then settle down for the night, Sandra to the edge, had her hand to her head to be eyeing over the television with a face, she then slowly looked up to the ceiling to eye where the bedroom was to shake her head.
You are being way on ridiculous, can't believe you are acting this way especially in front of our children.
Sandra started to really think.
Can him and I actually live under the same roof? Will this get worse? I don't want to keep him away from the girls but how he is and how he is treating me......I don't want them to see it.
Sandra then looked down to her girls, Emily was still awake while Sarah was fast asleep to have her chin quiver a bit for tears to well up.
Am I doing the right thing? Divorcing your father? What kind of impact is this going to have on you? Would it be better if it's just me and then a just him?
Sandra placed her hand to her eyes to cry into has she was over thinking this.
