Chapter 6 David Pelzer

My life is worse when father is away. After the knife accident dad spent less and less time at home, and more time at work. I hate my mom so much because this moment scared me the most she filled the tub up with freezing cold water and held me in the the water to where I could not breathe. I kept hitting her to try and get my head out of the water then I dug my nails into her shoulder and she let go she said next time ill hold you down longer. This is times where I want my dad lots because I feel so safe around him. I just know he is  my protection from mom. Sometimes I wish I would die because I hate my life. I just keep wishing I could get way from mom and all the abuse. But everyday my life seems to get worse and worse. I just pray things will get better everyday. I miss you daddy.
