There was this one time, when I was 8, my parents left me at home alone for just an hour. But after a few minutes, I thought they were gone forever, I screamed and cried, and went to the neighbour’s. 

I also remember always getting in between my parents fighting. My mom was so cruel to my dad, and she would often abruptly leave in anger, leaving my dad in tears. I remember desperately pulling on the back of my mom’s shirt to try and make her stay. Begging her not to leave.
