"I was raised up in an abusive home. Daddy would beat Mommy and pull her hair and kick her 'til I'd think she was going to die. He'd scream and holler and say he wished he had never laid eyes on her. Then he'd jump on us kids and we'd have to run outside and leave Mommy alone with him. Sometimes I'd be so scared to move, I'd just cry my eyes out."
