You are being a good man by being there for your son, know that.
ASHLEY YELLOW
Yes, there are some good black men in this world.
TAMMY RED
Where the hell they are at?
KENDALL WHITE
Tammy, control yourself, you have been out of control all day.
TAMMY RED
I’m done with all men. Men sleep with different woman for their satisfaction. And think its ok.
KENDALL WHITE
Like your boyfriend?
TAMMY RED
Bitter is not the word of I how feel towards that man. I thought I had a piece of happiness to claim. A piece of joy that I can call my own. I watch my mother struggle to love my father. They tried to hide it but couldn’t. The screams every night of crying for help, her daughter sat there listening to her being broken. I cried night after night, how could I help her. I felt free when I came here, of course I thought that. This guy had my heart, educated, Greek, and athlete I thought I had a catch. He gave me the world until he snatched it away from me. I pisted him off one night on one of our dates; he slapped me. Like it was ok. He told me that he wasn’t going to do it again. They all say that. I became his punching bag. I kept going back because I love him. He loved me. He told me he was going to change. He said that he wouldn’t keep tearing me down. I walk in him having sex with another female. Ask me did I leave him; ask me did I get mad; no. I knew he wouldn’t do it again. But he did it again, again and again. You don’t understand going to class while girls talking about me in my face. You don’t understand my pain of guys calling me desperate for his love. You don’t know me. Do you know that I am full of rage, hate, and bitterness! I am living my mother’s life in college. I beat myself up everyday because I’m in a situation where I can’t escape him. He loves me, I don’t want the feeling of being alone and miserable. He said he loved me, so I stay.
