your dad was never a good guy he’s a crazy alcohol that drove your mom to leave you and him and go off with some rich Spanish guy. You mr dad HATED you, you reminded him of all the things he hates about himself and hated about mom so he drinks himself into oblivion.

your neighbour became a big help for you his name is Gerard he sometimes snuck you food over and he helped you clean wounds from your fathers relentless abuse.

one of your dads favourite methods of punishments is just kicking out out for a day or up to a week at times leaving you shivering and cold on the front porch but Gerard when he comes home from work always helps you when he sees your tiny body curled up on the porch
