Like, my dad was so abusive that my mom told him.
She didn't really know that he was, like, beating the shit out of us.
Right.
Because she worked a lot.
She was a breadwinner.
And he'd get off before her.
And if punishments were meant to be dealt out, then he would be the one to do it.
And she basically, once she figured out that he was beating us up,
She was like, you put your hands on the kids again and I'm out of here.
Right.
Like, and one day I was arguing with him or whatever and he grabbed me by my ears and bashed my head into a telephone pole.
And she was like, I think she still tried to like get him to go to therapy with her.
And I heard from the office or from the waiting room and they were in the office and I heard him say, if you were a better wife, I wouldn't beat the kids.
Oh, okay.
And then all I hear is...
High heels coming out of the office.
And my mom doesn't even look at me.
She goes, Eli, let's go.
Right.
And I was like, all right.
