The Bible says to
Honor mom and dad or else!
Mom cries silently
i can’t tell if my mother is
terrified or in love with
my father it all
looks the same
i flinch when you touch me
i fear it is him
Rupi Kaur
I remember hearing the shouts and rumbling through the walls of my bedroom at night. And worst of all, I remember my mother crying, silently, as if she was holding back so she wouldn’t wake my brother and me. I remember never wanting to be like my father, at least the abusive part of him. He did have a loving side to him, but I’ll never forget the abuse my mother had to endure. If God insists on honoring a father who treats my mother the way he did, then I’ll be in line to go to hell.
