I’m still babysitting and every time I’m babysitting the kids always say “hurry up before daddy comes!” Now when I was small my sisters and I would say “hurry up before Daniel* comes!” It’s funny how things never change. My sisters and I would always be in fear of my brother. Well honestly it’ll be my sisters more than me.
Unlike my sisters, during this time, my dad still lived with us. My brother wouldn’t hit me because he knew that my dad was there and he wouldn’t want to get into it with my dad. Unfortunately for my sisters they weren’t so secured like I was. I still remember when I came home one day and I saw my oldest sister Jenny* get pushed into the tub with her nose all bloody. My other sister Monica* began crying because she was scared, which made me cry too. I didn’t understand why Jenny* was bleeding. I just knew that my brother did something to her.
Now as I’m a little older and I hear my niece and nephew say this I know why. “History repeats itself”. Sadly I know that this saying is true. I know my brother hits the kids and gets mad at them just like he’d do to me and my sisters. I know that the kids are afraid of him, I once was too. I’m sad to say but my brother is an abusive person.
