BAD DADDY

The following is one of the many short stories in by book. Another example of Abuse in the Home.

Bad Daddy

The holidays are here and Belinda just loves this time of year. She takes her two boys, ages four and six to take pictures with Santa at a local shopping center, where they're having games, door prizes and face painting. The store is filled with holiday music and scents of berries. Everyone is smiling and enjoying this special time of year. It hardly ever gets cold here in Rosenberg, Texas but they stop at a coffee shop and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa anyways. Feeling the warmth of the Christmas holiday, Belinda stops at their nearby grocery store to look at Christmas trees on their way home. The boys fall in love with a stunning tree. "Mommy, can we take this one home? please?" the boys ask with excitement. "Of course, we can," says Belinda. They go home and place the tree in the living room and begin to decorate it. They admire the beautiful strands of white lights as they each take turns placing special ornaments that have been made by them in preschool and kindergarten. They are so proud and can't wait for Daddy to get home and see their special surprise. He arrives shortly after. "Daddy! Daddy! Look! Look! Merry Christmas Daddy!" They boys yell with great excitement. Belinda smiles big for Carlos, her husband of seventeen years. Carlos glares at Belinda with wicked eyes and doesn't say a word. He walks toward the tree, grabs it and begins to drag it out of the house. Ornaments are breaking and falling off as he throws the tree at the end of the driveway. The boys eyes fill with tears. "Daddy! No, Daddy! No!" they cry. Carlos looks at Belinda. "I'm the only one who picks out a tree for this house! Do You hear me?" he yells as he heads back to the bedroom and slams the door. Belinda grabs her boys and they sit down on the living room floor, crying and holding each other. It takes Belinda many hours to comfort her boys. They cry and cry but eventually go to bed and begin to fall asleep. One of them whispers, "Bad Daddy."

A pinch of, "Her Jealous Husband," one of the stories in my book, "The Wives of Machismo."

Soon, Victoria is coming to work with bruises on her arms and face. Her Boss watches her every day and realizes that she's everything that he's ever wanted in a woman. At forty-two years old, he's never been married because he has never found, "the one." A few weeks pass and Victoria doesn't show up to work one day. Her boss calls her house but doesn't get an answer. He's really worried about her so he drives over to her house. He knocks on the door. Victoria slowly cracks the door open. What he saw stopped him. He could barely recognize Victoria. Her face was swollen and purple. One eye was completely closed shut. "You shouldn't be here," says Victoria softly. "Oh my God! Victoria, are you okay?" he asks in a panic. "I'm okay, she says in a quiet voice. "Victoria, get your purse and whatever you can't leave behind and come with me, now." he says as tears begin to roll down his face. She stutters, "W...

One day, you may just walk away.

Many women spend their whole life in an unhappy relationship. They stay for security. They stay for their children. They stay because they are fearful to take that step. But, sometimes, a woman who has endured hurt, sadness and disrespect from her husband, will one day, walk away.  Fear keeps many women under the thumb of a man. Usually, this man is disrespectful, a liar, and a cheater. These types of men are usually bothered by the presence of their wife. Once a man has other women on the side, their wife can't do anything right.  My short story books take you behind the scenes in this type of life. Some women sadly stay, some bravely leave, and a few witness their husband get the karma they deserve.  Click on link below and take a peek.  https://sandramoreno.org/

It's about respecting your wife. . .

Many married men-worldwide, are often served by young girls wearing skimpy, sexy attire at numerous sports bars. These men have lunch or dinner there, either alone or with business partners. Feasting their eyes. Many times, these girls are young enough to be their daughters, or even their granddaughters.  Usually, while these husband's are at these types of places, their wives are home taking care of the children. Many looking a bit rough, hair in a clip, sweats & t-shirt, huffing & puffing, cleaning up spilled milk and cereal off the floor, sweeping up food crumbs, and wiping tiny faces.  Sometimes these Mom's have a daytime job, then have to come home and work at their second job, which is cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the children.  Then, there are the stay-at-home Mom's that never get a break because this is their whole life.  Sadly, because of the sexy sports bars, social media, and the conveniece to it all, many men don't think of their wives wh...
