Chapter 4

Mother is always hurting me. I always have to wear the same clothes and people look at me. Mother slaps be around, and doesn't even bother to cover the bruises anymore. It is such a nightmare. Father used to try and help me out. He would sneak some food when he could. Him and Mother would always fight; Mother would win. I think Father just gave up on me. Mother made me throw up my hot dogs that i snuck, and eat them again. Father just watched me. I felt helpless. Another time, Father and my brothers went to the super slide, Mother made me stay with her and my new baby brother. Mother took one his diapers and smashed it on my face. It was so nasty and smelled really bad. I've also been trying really hard to get food. I have to steal all the time, even from the store. Of course i got caught, and Mother punished me for being a bad boy. I know I have to use my head to survive.
