Not Me My Brother

by Juliana
(Tennessee, U.S.A)

My little brother went through tons of verbal abuse. And also physical. He was hit, slapped, pushed around, and beaten and also endured yelling and screaming from my mother. I remember me sitting at the kitchen table at 9/10 years old doing math and hearing my little brother screaming and the ceiling banging (our kitchen was below his room). My mom favoured me over him. Most children would be happy to be the favourite, but not me.

He was soon taken away by the social workers. We don't get any updates or anything. Yet my mom wasn't arrested.
