My mom has broke my finger one time, get hit with any thing she could find, I was about 15 years old watching my brothers & sisters why she was with this guy and his son at there home every day. I was a child force to grow up lost my child hood and no love from my parents one day her boyfriend moved in less then month in half she kick me out I was in 9th grade had no choice but to start working wasn't able finsh school I made a promise to my self if I ever have kids never to hit them and to give them love. But no matter what my mom did I still love her and for gave her.
