A year later, me and Jimmy are now going out and he's helping me raise Jackie, who's now starting kindergarten, I'm so proud of him. We got an decent apartment so I'm finally away from my father and living on my own. This all would be amazing, if there wasn't one huge problem, drugs. I tried to stop taking the pills a year ago, but after the four years of taking then I have come madly addicted to them. I refuse to tell Jimmy because if I tell him I'm afraid he'll leave me. But I feel myself slowly slipping away, and I can't stop it.
One day, I awoke in my bed to find myself the only one in it, Jimmy wasn't here. I rolled around in the bed to find a note. It said "Hey babe. I know you've been feeling sick for a few days so I decided to let you sleep in today. Jackie is already at school and there's breakfast in the refrigerator. I love you see you this evening." That's the most sweetest thing anyone has done for me, I should of hooked up with Jimmy a long time ago. The feeling was short lived though, because the urges became too strong for me to handle. I finally caved in, and rushed to the bathroom to take the dreaded pills.
I was rocking back and forth on the couch, because it felt like my insides were being ate away by these pills, and then Jimmy and Jackie walked in, but Jackie looked sad as he walked in the house. Jimmy walked him over here with a serious look "Tell mommy what you did bad Jackie." Jimmy demanded him and Jackie looked up at me "I didn't listen to the teacher and fought a student." he said in a very innocent voice, but rage started to build in my system. "The school said if it happens again he'll get suspended from school." Jimmy explained to me and I gripped Jackie up by his shirt "Who the fuck do you think you are fighting in fucking school?!" I yelled at him and he started to cry, but I didn't care. In a fit of rage, I had got my brush and pulled Jackie across my lap and started to spank him. After ten minutes of nonstop smacking to his butt and agonizing crying by Jackie, Jimmy pulled the brush away from me and let Jackie go from my grasp. I got up and got in his face "Why the fuck you do that?! He needs to learn James!" I screamed into his face and he nodded in shame and left me in the living room to go tend to Jackie. It wasn't until a minute later until I had realized what I had done to my son, and what I had become, my father.
I sat back down and cried my heart out because I hurt my son like my father hurt me all my life. Whether Jimmy leaves me or not, I can't let my son suffer for my addiction. I have to get help, now. I called Jimmy over and told him all about my addiction, and instead of being mad and leaving me, he hugged me tight and helped me to put me in rehabilitation.
It hurts that I have to leave my family, but it's great to know when I come back I'll be myself again.
