Flash Point Family

Chapter Eighty Six

going down stairs to search for my other children to find out why the hell did they both get suspended from school.

and I also wanted to give my husband some alone time so that he could speak with Alice in private because I think my husband needs this conversation as much as Alice needs it as well.

walking into the dining room I saw both my children taking the Chinese food out of the bag and putting them on the plates.

''so which one of you want to tell me why did you get suspended from school today?'' I asked both my children.

''well mom because she was being a jerk to the little boy so I got angry I had enough of her shit so I punched her in the face after she pushed the little boy.

Stacey my youngest told me I was shocked at first I did not expect that from her so I waited a while to reply.

''ok but next time tell the teacher before '' I told her as I sat down to fix my self a plate of food.

''yeah I know daddy already had this conversation with me.'' Stacey told me

''well how are you felling?'' I asked her next

''am good mom I am not like Alice I wont try to hurt my self ok I am not crazy like her.'' Stacey told me

''honey Alice is not crazy she just needs a little more help then most people that's all she not the type to hurt other people just herself.''

''but her mind is broken mommy there not fixing that I know I don't have a normal big sister mom I cant ask her normal questions a big sister would know because she is not normal '' Stacey said out loud and started to eat her food quietly like noting I was shocked by her words. ''did she really fell that way about her big sister this whole time and we had not known about it.''

Victoria thought to herself as she ate her food still going over everything that her Daughter just told her.

just then her husband Wordy walked into the living room looking more stressed then he did this morning.

''hey honey how is Alice doing ?'' I asked Wordy wondering how Alice was doing with the situation.

''Alice is Alice'' was all he told me then continued to eat his food every one tonight was eating quietly.

walking into the kitchen I started to put the dishes into the sink to wash them when John came next to me.

''you know she didn't mean what she said about Alice she young she doesn't understand what Alice is dealing with.'' john told me while he started to wash the dishes I could not help but think of my Sister.

''son she meant every word she said when I was younger I had a Sister and her name was Alice as well. she had similar issues that your Sister took her own life back then we lived in a time where no one sought help for there problems. they dealt with it in there own ways which considered abuse now. ''

I told my son this was the first time I talked about my Sister to my son

''wow mom I never knew you had a sister.'' my Son told me

''yes Son I did '' I replied to him tears streaming down my cheeks

''today was the anniversary of her passing so I am sad to say I have not been a good Mother to you guys today.'' I told my son

''its ok mom you are only human to you guys are allowed and off day '' John told me which made me laugh.

''mom does Alice know about your sister and what happened to her ?'' John asked me
