Abuse in the Home

As you seen in my last hub I explained the abuse that went on in my home as a child. I remember back when I was in grade school me, and my brother came home from school early. The teachers had a meeting that day. When we both came into the house it was so quiet that we thought today is going to be a good day and the monster that live in our home was in a good mood.

But when my step brother look around as we came to the top of the stair case he notice the house was all dark around us as we began to walk further into the hall ways we began to notice a figure in the dark sitting by our old sofa. It was mother she look really sad and down.

As we called out to her in a low manner. We said hello mother we are home now are you OK. She replied I am OK and how are you kids doing today. We answered back we had a great day at school mother. So how did work go today for you we ask her. She told us she had not went to work today and that she had took off for sick time.

We ask her was she sick and she said yes I was not feeling well at all today so I stayed home. We ask her did she need anything she replied no she did not need anything at all.

She then told us to go into our rooms to put our books up and great ready to do some work around the house. We did just what she asked of us. But while we were walking in the hall to our room. I can remember my brother saying something is wrong with mom. I ask him what he thought was wrong with her. He said I don't know but it is dark in there and she is just sitting there on the sofa quiet not saying a word at all.

We then had this ideal that when we returned back into the room where mother was sitting at. My brother said I am turning on the lights when I get back into that room. I told him I do not think that will be good since mother is sitting in the dark for reasons we did not know. But as always my brother kept his word and went into the room where mother was and flip on the light switch which was located on the coffee table next to mother.

As he turned on the lights I heard my mother yell at him and say turn off that ... light but he refused and ask her why she is hiding in the dark today. When our mother turned her face towards the light. We saw that her whole face had been beat badly and her eyes were so black and blue. She look as if someone had taken a baseball bat and beat her for hours. Our mom had been beat up while we went to school that day. Satan the monster had beat her up so bad. That our mother could not even go to work that day.

My brother and me ask her why mother do you allow all this abuse from this demon. She would always respond you don't understand at this time kids. But one day you will understand once your older. We just stood there looking at one another in shock.

I just kept quiet and walk slowly back to my room. My brother stayed in the room with mother. So after an hour or so passes I heard some voices in the room I had left my mother and brother in earlier. It was the demon and he had returned back to our home. I heard him tell my mother to go into the bedroom and stay there because he did not want to see her face. She refused to go into the bedroom and ask him why did he come back to start more mess was her exact words to the demon. He replied didn't I tell you to go into the room.

These kids don't need to see you like that and your upsetting them. She replied back they see me like this all the time and there old enough to know what is going on now. As I walk to the hall way towards the room where mother was sitting on the sofa. I heard him say again go into the bedroom. She never moved at all.

The next sounds I heard was a glass table breaking and mother screaming stop please god stop. This demon had grab mother by her hair and robe. She was beat down to the floor and kick in the stomach.  As she cried I heard my brother crying please stop hitting mother. He told him to leave out the room. My brother did not leave out the room.

Then he said something very strange to this demon. He said no I am not leaving out the room and you stop hitting mom before I hit you. I knew that my brother was doomed at this point for not obeying the demons command. I then seen the demon stop kicking and beating mother.

I knew in my heart that my brother had upset the demon very badly. Just when I thought I had seen it all. My little brother stood there right in front of the demon. He was breathing hard and keeping his ground when the demon came close to my little brother he did not move one step. The demon took his fist and hit my little brother in the side of his head so hard knocking him to the floor.  The demon continuing punching him all over his little body.

My mother was just coming around to notice what was going on. The demon then took his foot and kick him in the stomach so hard with this black leather cowboy boots that he was wearing that day. I just stood there in total shock not knowing what to do at all. I felt use less and cowardly.

The demon then took my mother and brother by there necks choking them hard. I could see my brother trying to get away from the demon. But the demon was 280 and 6 ft 4 inches. Not a match for any of us to take on. My emotions filled up inside of me fast. I became so angry that I thought about attacking the demon myself. But I did nothing but stand in the hall way and wait until the demon got tired.

As I stood there ask God to save them from the demon monster. He began to let them go. He release his grip from around there necks. They fell to the floor and stand there for a few minutes. I then watch the demon leave down the stairs and out the house. I ran to my mother and brother trying to help them up onto the sofa. But I was too weak and small.

I then just sat on the floor with my brother and mother talking to them asking them questions about what should I do. She said help your brother I will be OK. I ask my brother do he think he could get up and walk to the back bedroom. He said I can't walk my hip hurts so bad. I ask him why did you try to fight the demon. He said I am tired of him beating on mother. 

I told my brother your so crazy to try to fight the demon. I was able to help my brother up to his bed. But he could not stand are walk for a week after he received this beating from the demon.
