Chapter Three

John never cared and that night he started beating Ann and took her money as he needed to get drugs he took it all never knowing or caring what was the money for, She was trying to explain that she worked extra shifts for this money but he was never even listening, she loved him still and she was in a distress agony that no matter how much I try to explain trust me. the pain was more in her eyes than the beating marks on her skin as she was on her knees begging and tears shedding on the floor as she held on into his legs while he was storming out of the house, Don't take that money she said while sobbing, Well! it was the house rent and Alex school tuition fees money after he had beaten her up and walked away on her she took a walk outside crying and gazing at the dark blue skies with shiny beautiful stars sparkling all over and she was contemplating and thinking very hard what she would be doing, she felt very lost and everything she is trying to build is trembling down before her eyes as she could only watch and not able to do anything she never felt more disappointed and hopeless.

If there is one thing I know about life, is that it’s so harsh and causes pain to whomever it encounters, Sometimes you feel lost and you don't know whether to get angry or sad because the person you love the most is hurting your feelings despite the fact that they know what you are personally going through or even experiencing the same matter of fact, but yet their poor choices of words and actions manage to skin through underneath that flesh causing heartache that's tougher than what all scars combined together feels like.

Wounds heal faster than a broken heart Ann was really suffering from her husband being an addict and not provide for his family she was crying every night till she falls asleep thinking how to save her only child from following the footsteps of his supposed role model father and from that slippery slope path his heading on to. We all have experienced family problems as no family is perfect and problems are different from one person to another, What seems little to you might be a mountain on someone else's shoulder. actually, we will never know how something might feel to another person, We all have different capacities and levels of patience and endurance once we reach the peak of it we usually surrender and give in to depression episodes and darkness that peels and exfoliate our skins like an onion the more layers we peel off the more we cry.

Ann with all the loads and suffering did not give in to that state as she couldn't afford to be she wiped the tears off of her eyes and cheeks, freshened up, and back on the wheel of life to fight another day for her family, The things we do for the family are often unbearable to us and may even be on the expense of our happiness but yet we do it for the unconditional love and for that only we sacrifice everything.
