My life was great Mostly. Then my dad lost his job, and everything went to hell. He started drinking, getting mad at us, which lead to hitting us occasionally, and apologizing later, yeah, you get the picture. We pretended like everything was fine on the outside. My dad got a new job, a better one even, we still went to church, we were still the picturesque family we always were. Then he came into my life, another broken person with haunted eyes.
