So instead of when mom came home, I decided to wait until the weekend today was Friday night and she was about to go on another date. At this point, I was fed up.  So I stormed into her room whilst she was getting ready and she looked at me strangely.

"Alice, what are you doing! Get out! I'm changing!" She said rather annoyed and looked as if she was ready to throw a pillow at me but that didn't faze me anymore. I was done and fed up, I didn't care what she said to me anymore.
Did I once, yes I once did I once would walk on glass if it pleased her but not anymore I had reached my breaking point. It was toxic to me and I was done.

"No, mom, we need to talk," I said looking at her trying to muster up a brave face.

"About what? Anyway, it's probably not important. It can wait until later."
She said, " Now get out."

"No, I am tired of not being a priority to you and I want to talk," I said glaring at her.

"Haha, the old teenage rebellion stop it or else your grounded." Mom said pulling the grounded card.

"Mom if you don't stop going on dates with random men instead of spending time with me I swear to you I will leave and you will never see me again. So you better listen!" I finally had enough of her behaviour.

"How dare you say that! It was your father who left me like this!" She screamed raising her hand to slap me.

"And it was YOUR choice to date him and marry and then have a child with him, YOU chose him not I, so YOU must deal with the consequences, not me!"
I finally said tears starting to go down I didn't look as brave as I wanted I looked like a scared little or worse a bunny begging the predator to let it go.

"I'm going and you can't stop me. I need to be happy to, " and she kicked me out of her bedroom for the next hour I cried as I watched her drive away.
But I had given her a chance to change and she didn't want to. So now I could freely say I tried and in and in the end, that's what matters so I packed my stuff went downstairs wrote a goodbye note took my savings called Jenny if I could start with her for a while and she said yes. And so Jenny gave me her address and I got a taxi.

"Where to ma'am?" The taxi driver asked.

"Seventh Lane Street marks drive home number thirty," I said trying to hide my tears.

"Yes, miss." He said before reaching to grab so!ething and after fishing around in his pocket he handed me a handkerchief and smiled.

"It's unused don't worry, you can keep it." He said smiling.

"Thank you," I said as we drove into the night.
