wanted to hide wanted to run why is he yelling?why does he drink?why does he hit mom? mom tries to get him to get help. why does he hit us?why cant he belive me?why did he have to cheat on mom?why cant he be a better dad? as she runs away she goes to the ocean looks at the waves she feels like there freedom from home.she has so much anger to the person that is hurting her and her family why cant mom just leave him? as she goes back to the house her dad  is about to hit her sister mom got in the middle got hit dad toke off she felt free mom went to the hospital we change all the locks he could not hurt us any more.as time went on there are still alot of whys i know god was with us.
