A Cheating Farther

My farther could not fulfill a father’s duty My farther could only fulfill his own pleasures .Women .Sex .Alcohol He couldn't love us the way he loved them Coming home early hours in the morning Mother goes silent whenever he was around Wiping away her tears with her soft hands If he ever spoke Pretending she has something in her eye My farther only loved us Well pretended to love us Only when he had alcohol All the other times It was those cheap women Punching Kicking Abusing our poor mother In front of our innocent eyes He always used to say I'm going to change The only change he did was sleeping a different women He just couldnt live without It never accure to him he had a wife and children A tender age of 6 all this was going on I was shocked Ashamyed Embrassed It was like someone cast an evil eye on our family I could'nt talk to anyone At home At school Or even a family member I use to always wrote strorys of a farther and son having such a great bond I always wished those story's were true. It was like more my dad went with other women The more abuse she received The more my mother wanted to please him My mother was a woman from India A women from the Asian community If anyone found out about farther it would be bestay(shameful) My mother never had a voice to say I’m leaving The voice she had was silent 21 years they've been married Years of betrayal made by my farther Days and nights of abuse The family gathering lying on how much work he does Moaning how his wife is so lazy Moaning on how much we annoy him Going on and on how great he is. He couldent bar ethe thought of us leaving His family name would be known for scum But was was the use leaving him He was jst going to pick up move away and cheat on another woman This is the way I lived with a cheating farther....
