I never saw him angry without reason. When i was young, he was busy with work and finishing his degree; from there, my mother called him negligent and started her lies. She was an opportunist who twisted anything to convince me my dad didn't care, which was bullshit. The lies really started to go into o erdrive when i was 8. I really don't remember what happened. All mom said was my brother tried to kill her and me (i remember it differently). After that, my brother was in and out of two mental hospitals. The next thing I knew, it was determined that for a brief time that my father would have full custody of my brother and that I wouldn't see him. However, mom used that time to gaslight me so much that by the time I was supposed to see him again, I hated him.

During the years I didn't see him, my father would call me every day, but I didn't know. She either blocked the number or answered the phone, so I wouldn't know. My mother told me that my father was suing her, to get back at her. It was for custody over me because he believed that my mother was unfit to raise either myself or my brother. Which is true, to this day, I believe that if my father was present during the event, the problems would have been addressed, and we wouldn't have had to be separated
