But at the same time, I was thinking future.
I was thinking, how can I get my mom out of this situation?
How can I understand my dad and make life somewhat easier for my mom?
And so I grew up very different.
I never wanted to go spend the night or hang out at other people's homes because I had to protect my mom and my sister.
When school was over, I'm going home to make sure my mom's okay.
When my mom is up at night, I don't sleep much now because as a kid, I always stayed up.
If my mom was struggling, I wanted to be there.
I wanted to make sure that she was okay.
So I would sit by my door every night, every night, making sure my mom was okay.
I never slept as a kid.
I would call it responsibility now.
I would also call it privilege because I could do something about it.
At least I felt like I could do something about it.
Was I ever afraid?
No.
Was I worried for my mother?
Absolutely.
And it's crazy.
I've never said this out loud.
