Love. Love is foolishness. The term that should be used is 'being fond of.' Why love or have a relationship if all anyone ever does is fight and get abused? Tough question right? It gets me every time.
For example, my mom, Pamela Martinez. Since I was born she has done nothing but fight with my father, George Martinez. My dad abuses my mother pretty hard. I have seen bruises, scratches, and deep cuts on my mother.
Everytime I ask she says she will be fine, and she will always love my father. When I know that deep down, she can not stand him. I know she is lying. She is staying with him for me, or so she don't have to be on her own.
I lay in my room and listen to their fights. Then it always ends up with my mom screaming and crying. Then I see a new mark on her the next morning. They are not exactly happily married.
The thing I can not get straight is why he has never hurt me. Every night I hear my mother scream, but when he sees me, everything ends. Why does he have to hide it? Why is he such a monster? So many questions I have inside. But all my thoughts erase when I hear my mother scream again. This time, it is for my help.
