Achievement Unlocked: Single Mom (Part 4)

I opened the door to our room and, with no words, got I. Dad threw the stick he was hitting I with across the room as I went out.

I consoled I and gave her water to soothe her throat. We sat down on the wooden sala set as I was determined to sleep there with I. I knew an outburst is brewing.

I wasn't mistaken. A few minutes after, Dad got out and started berrating me. Does he interfere when I discipline you? No. Is he of no value to the household? I said no. He said I was always right, I was always making the decisions. It went on and on and on. I realized I already fell asleep in my arms, poor thing. She must have been tired from all the crying.

M and A went out of the room a few minutes after Dad and they heard a lot of the fighting and almost-shouting. I half-expected lolo and lola to come out, thankfully they didn't.
