Abusive Alcoholic
Going to a dance party
Enjoying your time with your friends
You find a sweet guy
Hang out with him for the rest of the night
Your sweet guy wants to see you again
Maybe go see a movie
You are thinking what are his real plans
My parents told me so many things like this
Went to the movies with the sweet guy
Then went out to eat
I noticed he likes to drink a lot
Especially towards the time of night
He asked me if I would ever get married
I told him I have thought about it
A year later I am down with a child
And a husband who loves to drink our money away
One night I tried to leave
He caught me and asked where I was going
I told him I need to go see my parents
He said no and he back handed me in the face
I ran in the house and went upstairs
While we were in bed he told me he was sorry
In my head I thought differently
Maybe I should really leave
The next day I left to go see my parents
I told them what had happened
They told me I was always welcomed back home
I took their advice and went home to gather my stuff
When I got home I noticed something strange
I went inside and he was sitting at the kitchen table
He asked me where I went
I told him I went to my parents’ house
He asked me if I was lying
I told him he could go ask my parents
He got up and smacked me in the face
I was so shocked of the force the slap had
I yelled at him and said I was leaving
He said leave I don’t care
I grabbed my important stuff and grabbed Joey
I ran out to the truck and got in
Ever since that day happened
I was never the same
I was scared of those guys
I stayed with my parents
They took care of me
I took care of them
And I took care of the father’s son, Joey
