Events That Influenced My Life

There are different events in a person’s life that influences people to make them into who they are and these events/people can be either good or bad. Like when my two sisters died I didn’t know them that well, but if they would have not died my life would have been different. There are all kinds of events that can help us learn lessons in our lives. When I was in elementary I was chased down the hallways by the principal because I brought a water gun to school. There have been many events that have affected my life, but my mom and I leaving my dad has influenced my life the most.
There are many reasons we left my dad one example is finding out he uses drugs. I didn’t know this, but I think sometime after my sister and I were born my mom told …show more content…
We were going to my grandma’s house because my dad needed to borrow my grandpa’s truck so he could do something. On our way there were going across a bridge, my mom was on the phone with my aunt Christy and he told me and my mom “I’m ready to die how about you two.” My mom looked at him and said “What the hell is the wrong with you” and told my aunt Christy “I’ll talk to you later.” There was a bridge, a deep ditch and a pickup truck in front of us and we didn’t know what he was going to do. So when we got to my grandma’s he got out of the truck and my mom started to pull out and he said “You’re not going to wait for me?” We pulled out and not long after we pulled out my mom got out her mom and dialed 911. She told them what had happened, and we went to our house and started packing. While packing and I was terrified and was afraid he was going to come back. He did come back and somehow he started the yard on fire, I don’t know if he dropped his cigarette or what. But my mom gave me the phone and I was talking to lady on the phone. When we came inside he saw that we were packing and said “Please don’t leave me, I can change.” and my mom said “It’s too late for that,” a deputy sheriff came out and was talking to my parents while I was packing. The deputy sheriff stayed there with my dad while me and my mom got out of there. After we left we had a no-contact order against him so he could not contact me or my mom, and he …show more content…
It’s out in the country so, I don’t feel like I have to look at the window to see if any mysterious cars are driving by, because not many cars drive by. We feel safe and we aren’t worried about my dad finding us, we can actually get sleep. We are not worried about someone following us anymore. We feel we can live freely without worrying if he is going to be there. My mom is talking to someone now, and i’m glad she is happy, but I don’t know if this person is right for her. Even though I haven’t met him, but then again I don’t know how I feel about my mom talking to guys yet. I hope that this person will take care of her and won’t just act nice at first then start hitting her or yelling at her all the time. I just want my mom to be happy since she hasn’t been for the last couple of years with my dad. They were married for about 23 years, that’s a long time and even if they have married awhile time and they have lost some children along the way. Doesn’t mean they have to be together forever that is what my dad thought. And even though we left him and i’m not talking to him right now, I still have the memories of when he was actually a really nice dad and when he wouldn’t shout at me constantly, and maybe one day I will talk to him again. But as of right now I don’t want anything to do with him, and I wish my sister would understand
