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...

Her sister that lives many miles away has emailed her asking for a picture of the boys. She smiles and hops over to Marcos's computer because that is where she keeps all of the family pictures. She begins to look through the pictures one by one. She's smiling at all the sweet and funny pictures of her family. All of the sudden, the next picture that she opens isn't of the boys, it's a picture of a girl. This young girl has dirty blonde hair and is sitting inside a truck with the door open. She is posing with a big smile wearing a shirt and a short skirt. Her legs are wide open showing off her layers of flesh between her legs.
