Kenny was starting Dinner for the kids while i was upstairs going off on Tatianna.
"And then you have the nerve to sit here and lie and say you were in school"
"I never said I was at school"
"Then what'd you say?"
"Nothing"
"That makes no sense Tatianna"
"I'm serious, I never said I was going to school. We'd all come in and you'd say how was school, I never replied and said it was good"
"Of course you didn't because you never attended"
"Mom, what's the point of yelling at me, Your wasting both of our times. I don't wanna go to that school, I don't like it."
"You don't have a choice and you haven't even been in that school for more than a hour to know if you like it or not"
"I don't care. I wanna go back to Georgia to live Dad and until then I won't go to school"
"Tati, you know you can't go back to Georgia and you know damn well your not going to live with Keri"
"Why? He's my dad!"
"Because I have full custody of you all now, so no is the answer"
"I don't understand why you has to get full custody, He's my dad, I should be able to see him whenever the hell I want"
"You need to lower your tone down first of all and second there's a reason why I have full custody and right now that doesn't matter."
"That's not fair. You didn't give me the choice of either coming to stay with you and Ken or staying with Dad. I should've had a say in this. I don't wanna be in this house with all these people and especially not Ken, He always wants to act like he's my father when he's not."
"Tatianna, You just have a problem with Kenny because he corrects you when your wrong"
"Exactly and he shouldn't, He's nobody to me."
"He's your step father, show him some respect. Do you have a roof of your head of food because I have your phone bill is paid because I have some clothes on your back. It's because of him without Kenny maybe you'd be a wreck"
"Mom, you have just as much money as him and maybe more, you could be doing all that"
" I was the one all that before I marry Kenny because your father is a- never mind. The point is we have a good life now because of Kenny so I don't see what the problem is"
"We had a good life when you and dad were married"
"Tatianna everything is not what it seems, I divorced your dad for a reason, there's was a reason. I didn't divorce just because I wanted to go on my merry way"
"Then why'd you divorce him"
"That's not the point"
"No tell me why you divorced him"
"We're going off topic. Like I was saying there shouldn't be an issue with you being here, everyone has their own room, including you. This room is bigger than the dining room, kitchen and living room combined so you should be happy. Before we were leaving in a 2 bedroom home"
"So maybe if your albums were worth anything then we'd be able to buy a house"
"Oh no don't go there, if your father got his lazy ass up and helped around then we'd be able to live in a better home"
"Maybe if you took accountability for something's y'all would still be married"
"Tatianna your really pushing it damn it"
"Okay, I don't care about none of this. All I wanna do is go back to Georgia with Dad"
"No, that's my final answer I'm not going to keep going back and forth with you. I'm your mother and what says goes. Tomorrow I'm bringing you to school and walking you to class, you better go to all for classes and lunch or that ass is mine"
"Stop trying to run my got damn life Toni, you only wanna run mine because you have no control over yours"
"Excuse you?"
"You heard me. You wanna control my life because you can't control yours. Just because you hate your life doesn't mean you have to make me hate mine"
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"You know what I mean"
"Okay Tatianna, you can argue with yourself"
"Fine with me"
"Come eat dinner"
"No"
"Whatever Tati"
I wobbled out her room and went downstairs to the kitchen.
"Where's Tatianna?"
"She's not eating"
"This is the 3rd nice she hasn't eaten"
"Well she's alive so she's eating something"
"You want me to call her?"
"No Ken just come on and sit so we can enjoy the kids that actually respect us"
"Okay love"
Kenny picked up the pot of spaghetti to bring to the table where the kids were doing homework and I picked up the plate of garlic bread.
"Okay everything off the table, Dinner time"
I said putting the bread on the table. The kids cleared off the table and digger into the pot immediately piling their plates like we done feed them. I left the dining room and sat in the living room, Kenny came in and sat with me.
"Baby, Come eat"
"I'm not hungry right now"
"Why did Tati kill your appetite"
"Yeah, she's making me look like I'm a bad mom"
"What'd she say?"
"Nothing really it's just she thinks I took her from Keri since I got full custody and stuff...I didn't want her to feel like that but it's for the best...she doesn't know he's on drugs and I'd like if she doesn't find that out but itf she's going to refuse to do little things like eat and go to school, then I might have to send her back with Keri"
"Toni, you're her mother."
"I know Kenny, I look at her everyday and I'm reminded that she's mine, she looks just like me"
"Yeah so remind her, your being to soft."
"What else am k supposed to do? Yelling isn't going to work and I can't whoop her"
"Says who? Says the parents hand book, Everyone knows you stop whopping when they turn 10, the. It's just weird after that"
"Yeah whatever, you need to out your foot down with her or she's gonna get out of control"
