Chapter 3 – Birthday battles and Punishment.

19th August 1990 – my 7th birthday

I always thought birthdays were meant to be a time when everyone was happy because someone had aged by a year. I always thought that I'd enjoy each and every one of my birthday parties. I've had three parties in the past and they were alright, but this year... this year I'm making a promise to myself.

I AM NEVER CELEBRATING MY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!

There are many reasons as to why I'm not going to celebrate my birthday anymore, the first and, in my opinion, most important reason is this;

I'm hated by everyone. What is the point of having a party and inviting family and 'friends' when my 'friends' hate me and my family look at me like I'm a freak! Just because I'm smarter than your average seven year old... I didn't ask to be this smart! I just am.

I don't hate them – mam says 'hate' is too strong a word to use – but I really dislike them... especially my tad!

He used to be a tailor when he was younger, before he had me and little Rhia, and now he just seems to hate me. I don't know why but I can guess. I think he hates me because I was the first-born and because my mam had me he had to quit his job because she was injured not long after I was born meaning he had to take care of me. He blames me for losing his job and I didn't do anything! It was that guy in the car who hit mam who caused him to lose his job, not me!

I've got to finish writing now.. tad's coming up the stairs... I think he's got the belt...

24th August 1990 – in pain.

Why? Why? WHY? Do they hate me?! I never did ANYTHING to them! Why does he hit me? Why doesn't she stop him? Why does he lock me up? Why do they hate me this much? What have I ever done to them to deserve this?

I've got a long cut on my right lower arm. It hurts a lot but I can't let him see that. If I cry he'll laugh more, he'll hit me more... I don't want to be hit anymore.

I didn't do anything. It was Rhia but I can't tell them that... they wouldn't believe me anyway.

I can't even think straight anymore, it hurts too much... I'm going to cry- I know I am... but I can't! He'll hurt me again... please don't cry...

Please... no more...

Please... I thought you loved me!

Tad...

NO! NOT THE CLOSET!... PLEASE... NO.. no... no... no...
