I wish I would've followed Gretchen to her house, I really don't want to go home, but if I don't, my sister will be alone with my dad for the entire night. Maybe I should tell someone about this at school, I can't handle it much longer… the abuse is getting more severe, and when the abuse stops my dad leaves us home for hours and hours, sometimes even a few days, and when he comes home he is drunk, and starts abusing us even more.
