Avery Elizabeth

See that little girl? Her names Avery. She’s my baby sister. She’s my biggest reason for living. I absolutely dread the day that she starts thinking for herself. As soon as that happens, my father will abandon her just like the rest of us. All 8 of us. She is the epitome of innocence and love and I can only hope that her mother comes to her senses and leaves my dad. She was a good parent to the 3 kids she had before they got married. Before he got his hooks in her. Now she’s depressed. She sleeps all day when she can. She ignores her kids and when they finally get her attention, she snaps. She hasn’t always been like that. That’s just what my dad does to people. He needs attention. He used to get jealous of me and the 2 siblings that I grew up with because my mom was showing us more affection. He got physical with my brother on several occasions. Still has my sister convinced that she will never be able to do anything right. But me? I was lucky. I was the favorite. I was his biological child. Which meant my sister hated me. She hated me because he constantly compared the two of us. Went so far as to tell her that he wanted to see me succeed and not her because he knew I would take care of him. No. I won’t. I hope he rots in hell. I’m civil when I see him. I have to be. He’s still my dad. But I will never blow my money on him. He couldn’t even keep food in the house for us when we were barely teenagers. Home alone while he worked all night and came home with more women than I can count.
Come on dad. Just go home. On your way through the door, pick up your spine. You’ve got a little girl who needs you. Be a man for once in your God forsaken life and raise that baby right. You will always be a piece of shit. But it’s not too late for her..
