What I Got From You

What does a girl, who was regularly beaten by his father during her childhood, do when her father needs her in his old days? Does she take revenge? Does she step aside?

1 broken clavicle.

2 broken teeth.

64 slaps in the face.

Parental counterexample.

0 carefree childhood

1 own child: my mother

1 invisibility cloak

Hiding my wounds

Wrath.

Fury.

Solitude.

Being able to forgive.

The knowledge that the world does not end so easily.

Being able to recover.

Being able to rise above anything.

Taking care of myself.

Courage.

Taking responsibility for family members.

817 shitty diapers.

The knowledge that the world does not end so easily.
