Chapter 7 - David

Mother and Father have split up for good. What am I going to do with out him? All of these beatings could only get worse. I started to believe there was no god for me, but one night i prayed for mother to become sick, and to my surprise the next morning she was sick, and she had to lay on the couch all day long. Could I win this? Could I still defeat mother without father being around? Before father left for good, mother made Thanksgiving dinner and she actually let me eat at the table with everyone. Father and her barely spoke, by Christmas time everything was different. One morning mother packed all fathers things up and put them all in boxes, she took them to this little motel where I guess father was staying. All i wanted to do was cry because i knew this was it, father wasn't coming back home with us. When mother returned to the car and we left she looked at me and said "your all mine now, no one can save you." All I wanted to do was die!
