Child
hood memories? Yeah i got some, most happy but one isn't and
will never be anything more than some thing that changed my life
forever.When I was little my birth parents were divorced, each
had visitation rights. A few nights a week I would go to visit my
birth father. He would keep me locked in a room and have nothing
to do with me.I would sit in there for hours then come out when
it was dinner time.He would physically abuse me when ever I was
"bold" or he was just in a bad mood.He would tell me
afterwards that he was sorry and on the way back to my moms he
would by me a milkshake to show he was sorry.For years no one
knew what he did to me until one day it had gone to far. It was
around time for me to leave and he wanted me to pick up my toys
but i was sick the whole time I was there and said I would later,
i still remember the rage in his voice as he came over to the
couch and put his hands around my neck.His girlfriend was in the
room and didn't do anything, I don't know if she was
scared of what he would do to her or just didn't care. I was
eight years old when this happend.He was holding that when he let
go I remember gasping for air feeling light headed like I was
going to pass out or something.A little while later he took me
back to my mom's and once he left my mom knew something was
wrong.That was the day my life changed, the physical abuse ended
because I finally told someone.My mom made a promise to me that
day that she would do everything in her power to keep me away
from him. After reporting it and going to court I had a
restraining order put on him.I am now 17 years old and the
restraining order ends soon and to be very honest I am scared
that he will try to be back in my life. He gave over his parental
rights when I was in 6th grade but it still scares me knowing he
may be coming one day.
