The Roller Coaster of Life Begins...

    Age 18, I became involved with a 25 year old man who had just finished a 5 year prison sentence. True enough, I jumped out into the streets early but my status as a female still remained "Good Girl." I always took the lack of not having my biological father  to heart even though my step father whom I consider dad has no biological children stepped up to the plate wholeheartedly, also mentally. I would push him away just because he wasn't the man that birth me. Now I am in this relationship, he tell me he loves me and I go head first engulped into his everything becoming pregnant and this is when the beatings began. I could no longer be around my family that I've known for life. If I stayed around my family too long that was a beating. When I would see my friends I would just hold my head down because if I would speak or conversate I would be accused of something and then, that was a beating. I cannot count the black eyes, bruised ribs, and knots I would get over and  over all because of the wrong he was doing to me. My daughter Nyriantie is born, I continue to remain in this abuse until she turned 2. He came home from being out with someone else all night in my vehicle causing me to be late for work. As I sat Indian style on the floor holding our daughter and questioned him on the situation that was at hand he went into a rage pulling out a pistol and preceded to pull the trigger( me still holding our daughter). Only God and God alone allowed the gun to jam up because he aimed right for my head. I knew then that there was no way on earth I could continue to hold on to this relationship it could cost me my life ,and I had a child to be here for if not anything else. The next day I packed our things, walked out the door, and never looked back. I'm stopping here for now wanting the fathers to think about the effect you can cause you daughter or son by neglecting them. Stay tuned, there is plenty more to come...
