the edge of darkness

how it started

My mom was a single mother raising me my father was abusive and always getting locked uo. My mom was stressed to the Max and now having a child to take care of topped it off she was always at work and I was always with my other parts of my family. My dad beat my mom terribly and the last straw was when he got locked up the last time. She swept me up took our stuff and moved. Soon enough she fell in love with a sweet guy but behind closed doors he was a monster. My mom thought the best of him but when she went to work and was left to watch me I would get slapped around and yelled at. He was into drugs and didn't really care. My mother always did what was best for me and didn't know the man he really was. Soon he started drinking which only made it worse. I would not do one small thing and the world would seem to end. My mom was always working as he sat home doing nothing. I remember having to take a nap and I was up still laying next to coffee table and he was sleeping on the couch I put a dice in my mouth and his eyes opened I got beat he denys it to this day but I will always remember it . but that was only the beginning
