Domestic Violence

Domestic violence destroys families. If you come from a broken home, most likely you know what this means. I’m not talking about the meaning in words but the meaning by living it when I was a kid. I had too much anger inside me, too much hate. I was too much for my dad and my family to deal with. The domestic violence my dad show me and my brothers by coming home droke [sic] and waking us up everyday made me worse as a person.

I remember when I used to get into a fight with my elder brother or cousin. I could never beat them. I was a kid. They were teen. They were more stronger than me. I didn’t have no chance against any of them. I could say I would try knowing I would lose. With the anger and hate inside me, I would get a knife, try to stab them in each time. I thank God I never succeeded to do it. I t would have killed my mom knowing I have killed her first son. I didn’t succeed in doing [it], but many in history did. Now they are regretting of doing that.

Domestic violence is never a good thing to go thru in life. It change your inside. As a kid, it became a habit to fight so in school, I would do the same to those kids of my school. Parents, ask yourself this: what kind of life do you want for your kids? You, the victim of domestic violence, ask yourself: is that what you want for the rest of your life?

If you answer “no,” get help, get away from the person who is causing you pain.
