Dear Mom

i don’t understand why you chose him over me every single time, i’m your daughter....i sit here and i break up your fights, and he hits me every time you know it seems like it gets harder each time, harder to see you cry, harder to watch you practically die, harder to not beat the living shit out of him. yes mom i know i’m only a 16 year old girl and he is a 34 year old man but it wouldn’t be our first fight. i’m in and out of the principals office for fighting and i’m in and out of the guidance office because i break down so many times a day because i don’t know if you’re okay. someone needs to do something and they need to do it soon. you lost me because you couldn’t open your eyes and see that i was there for you and i was your guide on how to leave, you still haven’t realized that he is not right for you or anyone as a matter of fact but definitely not right for you. i you were my best friend mom my ride or die i didn’t know what i’d do without you, but now a year has gone by and i haven’t gone to your house for scheduled visitations and it’s surprising but guess what? now that hes not around me anymore the bruises have disappeared the bones have healed but the emotional pain is still there. i’m lucky enough to have a wonderful dad that cares about me i’m sorry you guys got divorced when i was oh so young but imagine how better your life would be if you stayed with him...i really wish my little sister could come home with me and my home could be her home because she doesn’t deserve to see your head go through doors. she doesn’t deserve to hear you argue every single night she’s 10 years old and she’s already seen so much....why the hell cant you just realize that you’re hurting everyone else who cares just because you think he loves you but everyone else knows damn well he doesn’t a real man wouldn’t abuse a woman....please just realize i only want the best for you and it kills me not being able to see you anymore, i’ll always be here for you. i love you so much.
