I Come From a Broken Family

My mom and dad were married 8 years before I came. My father was a cruel, hateful and violent person. When he cought my mom trying to take me and leave he beat her almost to death in the parking lot of the woman's shelter.My dad's lawyer had him out withen hours,my mother spent two months in the hospital and I stayed in foster care until she was well enough to be discharged. My mom had a beautiful wedding set and when she left the hospital,she walked us strait to a pawn shop and begged the man for enough for a bus ticket. The man even bought us food to take with us.
My father, he's dead now and can't hurt anyone anymore. I didn't even cry,it felt like I was free..not that he ever tried having anything to do with me but free from all the pain that kids go through. Wondering why he didn't love me enough to call me ever,what was wrong with me?why didn't he love me? I felt free from him and it felt like having the sun touch your face after years of darkness.
