Wanting To Start Over

3 happy years of my life finished in one instant. I am Jesenia and this is how my life got turned upside down

It all started when my best friend was giving birth. I was keeping tabs on her and her labour because her contractions were coming on one after another.

Since I wanted to go see her. I told my husband, Jose that after work I would wait for him to get home so I could go see my best friend.

When I came home from work, I didn't check my daughter's, Sabrina, diaper bag and didn't notice that she didn't have any milk or wipes. So when I left I took longer than I thought at the hospital because my best friends baby was so cute!

On my way home my husband called me and said if I was on my way and I said yes I am why?. He didn't answer me and hung up. When I got home the first thing I hear is my 11 month old princess crying.

I went into the bedroom and the second I walk in my husband starts to yell. "You call me a bad father for not spending time with my daughter, but yet you don't take care of her!" he yelled.

I only looked at him and kept quiet. I knew that if I spoke all hell would break loose. I only approached the bed and held out my arms to my daughter. The second he saw that he raised his hand at me as if he were ready to smack me.

I only looked at him with anger filled eyes and said, "hit me! I dare you too!"
He pushed me away and grabbed the baby tightly that she started to scream and cry.

He walked quickly out of the bedroom towards the living room so I too quickly walked after him.

I yelled repeatdly for him to give me back my baby. He kept refusing. "Your the bad mother! You don't care for your daughter! If you did you wouldn't have left her here alone!"

When he said that I snapped!!! "Let me tell you a couple of things! First I am always taking care of my daughter!! I am the one to wake up with her, feed her, change her diaper, I do everything for her!!!"

"So don't you ever dare call me a bad mother!!! Because I bought her into this world!!!" i yelled so loudly that my voice started to croak.

"I make one mistake and suddendly you think I am the worst mother! I make mistakes too just so you know" i said with such anger in my heart that he would think that.

I got closer to him to see if I could get the baby away from him. He again raised his hand at me. So I got really angry and stood up to him and dared him to lay a single finger one that he would later regret doing.

He thought about it carefully and gave me my daughter. After he gave me her, he quickly got dressed and left.

I calmed down my daughter ad best I could until she feel asleep. As she was sleeping I thought long and hard about the situation. I realized that I didn't want to be with him anymore because I was afraid that one day he would actually hit me.

I didn't know what to do. My beautiful family portrait that i painted in my head was now shattered into a million pieces.
