Where were you? A Child and a CHILD.

Where were you when I was growing up?

You were in college getting A's while I was getting D's in science class in the 5th grade.

I remember asking if you wanted to draw with me and you never had the "time"

10 minutes out of your ******* busy day to spend with your CHILD.

yeah, I understand bringing food to the table is important and your brain wasn't fully developed until 25 but, where were you?

I loved that computer. Oh, AOL 5.0, talking to strangers, going into lesbian chats, looking at naked pictures of women.

I appreciated when you paid attention to me when I would wear the same underwear and pants weeks straight.

It was amazing that you noticed I never used to take my Ritalin and that I would hide it under my tongue and then stick it in a mug under my ****** twin bed.

I've had 8 cats during my lifetime?

Do you remember April that cat, that siamese cat, our 5 cats? What was up with having so many **** CATS?

I loved watching nickolodeon and nick at nite. Cat dog all day with 5 kittens in our lovely apartment.

LOVED having your now "husbands" nephew trying to have *** with me when I was like 11 and he was 18.

The moths were fun.....fancied smelling like moth ***** during school!

I loved taking baths only because we had no shower head. Filling up a plastic cup with water to be able to wash my hair was my favorite.

I loved when you threw a hair dryer at me.

Digging your stupid fake nails into my skin, not sure what I did "wrong" then but that was always the best treatment, CHILD.

My favorite was when you helped with my homework.

Loved when you threatened that you would "tie a rope around my neck" and that you hated me.

Loved eating raviolis and getting 2 chicken sandwiches from Mcdonalds. Oh, 4 mini burgers and fries from Whitecastle after going to Marshalls was my favorite.

That guy, that assyrian, iranian guy that owned Carvel and was 20 years older than you...I loved when he used to let me go outside alone the condos when I was 3.

Loved when he'd force me to where overalls and ugly clothes in elementary school.

Being forced to go to an Assyrian church every sunday was the best!
