00:00When I had gotten home, CPS had gotten involved within my family, and during that time, my mother
00:05was telling us that if I really tell them, like, what my father would do, he would go to jail.
00:11At
00:11that time, she was telling my siblings, like, to lie about what happened. I don't necessarily
00:16remember enough of what happened because my family didn't communicate the outcome to me,
00:21but I know that my father ended up going to anger management. Both of my parents would tell me that
00:25I was the cause for all of our family issues, and it would be easier for me to just end
00:31my life,
00:31and it would end all of their family problems. So as a child, I was, like, dealing with a lot
00:35of
00:35these things on my own. I was very depressed and, like, very suicidal. Eventually, when I was 18,
00:41my father had gotten sick, where he, like, almost died multiple times, and so I was, like, doing my
00:46nursing classes from home because, like, it was still COVID, and a lot of them were online, and I
00:51was, like, taking care of my father. I was just, like, doing everything for him, and then eventually
00:55he had to get foot surgery, and, like, a few weeks after he had gotten the foot surgery, my brother
01:01had broken his clavicle bone, so I was taking care of both of them at home. I guess all the
01:06stress was
01:06just too much for my father that, like, on March 2nd, 2021, he just exploded. He was, like, telling, um,
01:13my
01:13brother to, like, pass his crutches so that he could beat me and me with them, and, um, my mother
01:19had to,
01:19like, intervene. I was going to, um, like, stand up for myself and fight with him more, but my mother
01:24just kept, like, saying that I have to get out because he could do something to me.
