My boyfriend once saw a colleague of mine touch me inappropriately and assumed I was cheating on him. Well that colleague was harassing me but my boyfriend hit me anyway.

My mother once thought that I had found out she was cheating on my father with that man. She burned my hand with a hot frying pan and threatened me to keep my mouth shut. But mother, I never even suspected anything until you uttered those words yourself. And that that time I didn't know whether to cry about the fact that you burned my hand, or that my father was getting betrayed.

I was 4. I remember quite well. My brother thought I hid the remote of his X box and he pushed me off the stairs. I was crying so hard. Little did he know that the boy from next door who he called his best friend had stolen it.

Misunderstandings.. merely misunderstandings caused the catastrophe.
