He reminds me of you. Aggressive and vain. You taught him to act like that. How to beat on me and torment me and harass me, until theres nothing left to do accept pretend it happens all the time. Well it doesn't. Its not supposed to. Nobody deserves to live in the fear that you laid over me, day to day. Now he thinks its ok... And its not. Its not supposed to be. When he hits me, or hits her, it reminds me of you, and nobody but yourself has created that sickening reminder. You took a peice of me, of my dignity. Of my rights... And I hate you for that.
