Chapter Six- David.

After Mother had stabbed me, Father started spending less and less time at home. I wasn't sure what to do because Father was my protector no matter where he was, but it wasn't any good if he wasn't at home. I only feared Mother more and more as the days went on. When Father did come home, he would help me with my nightly dishes, until Mother caught on and nearly restricted him from even seeing me. Father had given up, and then Mother knew she had complete control over everyone in the household. All I wanted was for Father to stay,things only got worse. I thought now that there was absolutely no hope for me.
