You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list

He checking it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

Santa Clause is coming to town

Christmas is coming and I'm starting to hear those carol songs again. Whew! Santa is coming to town? But he always missed our house. He said he has a list, he check it twice then why did he never come? Is it because he sees me naughty? I'm a good sister to my brother and a daughter to my mother but except to my father who is always drunk. He always beat us so why respect him? He is not worth it.

I remember how he strangled my mom before just because she didn't give him money for his vice. Mom can't remove his hands. He is too strong that mom can't stop. I and my brother crying and begged him to release mom but he push us and my head was hit on the edge of the bed. My brother crawls under the bed. I was 6 years old at that time and my brother was 4. He's happy while we were suffering because of him.

I wrote to Santa every Christmas wishing that he will help me with my father to be gone. I thought he just missed my letter but for a long time, I noticed that he's doing it intentionally.

Dear Santa,

Hello Santa, how are you doing? I guess youre very busy reading so many letters. I hope you will also find mine. My wish is still the same, to remove my father out of our life. I know this sound bad but our safety depends on this wish. I really can't stand him with us. He always hurt mom and destroy my brother's toys. Even my clothes was torn everytime he grabs me. I'm still hoping that you will grant my wish. See you in town. Take care always there!

Love,

Kelzy

Yes! This is not fiction. This is the young Kelzy's wish before. Maybe some of you here remember in my past articles that I share I'm from a broken family and a battered child. It's a traumatic experience to have a father that will hurt his family. They are the ones we expect to protect us but they're doing it not right. We thought we are safe in our house but we're not. Our life was in danger at the hands of my father.

It took a lot of years before we get away from my father. Actually, it wasn't Santa's work, it's us who did the escape plan. We are dead now if we haven't done it. I don't want to stay forever in that hell house. So we went to the province to my grandfather's place hoping that our life will gonna change but our stay wasn't good cause he is living with his second wife our step-grandmother. The treatment is different and we suffer again. My mom was not with us because she went back to the city to look for work and sustain our needs.

We suffer for a long time because of my father and I'm not longing for him even we didn't see each other for many years. If only he cared about his family maybe he will celebrate all occasions with us. So many tears fall when we are with him.

If you're a man and plan to have a family in the future, make sure you are ready to be a father. A father that will take care and protect a family. Be a man not literally with your balls but with stance.

Be a father, not just a father.

Thanks for reading! :)
