Well, after my dad gained custody of me and I was forced to move with him and his new wife when I was around 6. He always told me if he had to leave, I'd be going with him. He kept that promise and I was happy that he did. But his new wife was a new trouble to me. She beat me constantly. She used to slap, kick, punch and hit me with objects around the house each and every time I fucked up. I wanted to tell my dad but since he was a trucker, gone for months at a time, I didn't think he'd believe me. So I stayed quiet. For 8, almost 9 years I stayed quiet. Taking everything she did to me. And I didn't say a fucking word to anyone. I didn't talk to counselors, I didn't talk to my law guardian about anything she did to me. Primarily because I knew she was going to fuck up one day. I knew she was going to get what she deserves eventually. So I started planning. I plotted my stepmothers downfall. All those years I stayed in my head. Thinking. Wondering. In school, i was silent. At home i was silent. All I did was think. Then I stopped. After 7 years, she managed to fuck up. I remember the day perfectly. May 17th, 2014. She was doing laundry. She started getting up in my face about A PAIR OF JEANS. And why weren't they in my hamper. I told her it was a mistake. Mistakes happen right? Fuck that obviously not. She grabbed me by the throat and squeezed. That was th moment I couldn't take her shit anymore. I made a fist. I rose it. And I swung. Right in her rotten, crooked, disgusting teeth is where I hit her. I wish my eyes didn't roll back so I could see what I did. But oh well. What was done, was done. And there isn't anything changing that. From then, she kept fucking up. She started drinking a few months after. Then taking pain medication. Then getting caught up with druggies. And now, 3 months ago. She was caught cheating. My father had enough. They're now divorced. And I'm back living with my real mother, I'm as happy as I can be. I have no more grudges against my stepmother. She fucked up, paid the consequences and that's a fair enough price for me. It started with a punch. And ended with one.
