Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: page 2

I've been saving every single cent for almost five years. I keep the small stash hidden inside a loose floorboard beneath my bed a spot I had to dig out myself . My plan is to take my mother away from this house and place my father in a senior care facility. We can barely pay the household bills, and it's all his fault. I feel this is the only right choice left.

He keeps smashing things in the house every time he can't find what he wants, especially beer or wine, those are the only things that makes him feel better.

That's why I have two jobs. The fear that he might hurt my mother drives me to bring home enough money, even if what I earn is miserable. I didn't even manage to graduate because of my father's accident five years ago the one that destroyed his career and broke up his work group.

It's also my mother's fault for staying in this toxic house... No, I shouldn't blame her. But she has always been obsessed with money; she remarried three times just for the cash. I can't understand how she could do that, they never truly loved her back.

And of course me her first and only child had to follow her around.
