The Ordinary

Father is still up for a brawl
Altercations are ongoing 
My mom can not tolerate my sister
My sister hates me, and she says the least

On the playground
Mates continue to be enthusiastic about my kin 
They always let me scared and cry
Few know nothing but to fight happily

I always have the generosity of a friend
Cordial and simple to go 
I can never fit me at home
My mom is waiting to beat me and my sister is waiting to play

I feel sad and bored at home
I can see the tenderness in the evening before bed
I enjoy sleeping because nobody dares to hurt me 
Hug of vanity and kisses turn out my sleepless

This is a really sad little life for a three year old boy. Gosh, I sure hope it is not based on how your childhood really was!!

It's interesting to think about our childhood and how it shaped us. You have the opportunity to try to change what family life you have as an adult. If you have relationships with children, I know you will make their lives much happier and break the chain that you have described here. This is one of the greatest challenges of our lives. My dad was very competitive. Always beat me at everything. Not a lot of tenderness. Fortunately, I have been able to be different.
