When I was a baby we made a big move from Philly to North carolina. Leaving all of my mom 's family and coming to my father 's hometown, Bethel. Which left a big disconnection between me and my mom 's side of …show more content…
My dad and I were attached at the hip. Wherever he went, store, barbershop(Where he worked), outside to talk to one of his friends, I was right there hugging on to his leg. I never wanted him to leave me. I really looked up to my father. He was literally my heart, I couldn 't go a day without him.
My mother on the other hand felt as if she had made a mistake by marrying my father. He wasn 't what she thought he was by far. He didn 't treat her with any respect.

First it started off with him saying little things like “go ahead and do what you want and see what happens to you”, with me not responding then he started to say things like “Your not my daughter” and me responding with “I don 't care, I don 't want a father like you anyways” then he started to say outrageous things such as “Your fat and lazy, you 're not going to make it in life, I don 't know why you are still in my house” and Icouldn 't help but to say something back “I don 't care about you or nothing that you have to say about me. I wish you would just leave, we don 't need
