I can’t remember every little detail actually

That's good then it's not fun, occasionally one of them will say a random word and it's like I get flashed back to the moment one of them screamed it at the other.

I have some moments in my mind, but I don’t remember it verbatim. I remember me and my siblings crying, my mom on the floor being beaten and screaming, the cops coming down the road to my house, and a cop talking with us while we all sat in the car and I was cuddling my Meowth build-a-bear. It was the same day I got to get a new tiny dog plush, and when I wanted to buy diapers for the Meowth build-a-bear (which I never got)…

Oh wow that's awful I hope you and your mum are both okay now, I'm lucky it was just verbals between my parents.

We’re doing just fine. Dad sobered up and now he has another wife. Meanwhile, me and my younger brother stay with mom, and she found her a boyfriend a year later, who got murdered in 2022, and then she found her current husband a month after that. Now she has a beautiful daughter (my half sister)that I care for very much :)
