TW: domestic violence, mention of suicide


// Tuesday, October 31 – 6:17 PM

Dear Diary,

How are you?

I hope you are well. Or, at least, I hope you are doing better than I am. You probably don't have a soul but I wish you are happy in your own way. You deserve it, above anyone else.

I'm okay, thanks. Just tired.

I don't have much of an appetite anymore. I ate half of dinner today but couldn't stomach the rest, which made Mum mad.

It's my favourite dish. It takes hours to cook, and Mum was exhausted after coming home from work to do all the house chores Dad left for her, yet she made it for me. Even though she did overtime in her shitty full-time job, even though she was emotionally drained from the argument with Dad earlier, she did it anyway. Maybe cooking was a distraction for her. But she said it was because she was proud of me for finally coming out of my room.

However, once she saw my unfinished plate, she lost it. Suddenly, I was the worst, most ungrateful child in the world.

She was screaming at me, telling me I had to eat it all even if I felt sick b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ I̶ s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶'t̶ w̶a̶s̶t̶e̶ f̶o̶o̶d̶   b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ i̶t̶'l̶l̶ m̶a̶k̶e̶ u̶p̶ f̶o̶r̶ t̶h̶e̶ p̶a̶i̶n̶ i̶n̶ h̶e̶r̶ h̶a̶n̶d̶s̶ f̶r̶o̶m̶ a̶l̶l̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶t̶i̶r̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ a̶n̶d̶ c̶u̶t̶t̶i̶n̶g̶   b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ n̶o̶ o̶n̶e̶ l̶o̶v̶e̶s̶ o̶r̶ a̶p̶p̶r̶e̶c̶i̶a̶t̶e̶s̶ h̶e̶r̶ i̶n̶ t̶h̶i̶s̶ f̶a̶m̶i̶l̶y̶   because that's what good children do. I didn't have to like it, but the least I could do was finish my plate. That's all the thanks she needed.

But I couldn't do it.

We were the only ones at the dining table. I was staring at my plate while Mum kept yelling until all of a sudden, she stopped. I looked up right when she grabbed my hair and began shoving spoonfuls of food into my mouth. I almost choked a few times but she didn't care.

My teeth burn. I could do nothing but hear the clatter of metal on bone. The spoon's edge cut my lips from how forceful she was being. I was too scared to move. Crying didn't help either.

She only stopped when she noticed the blood on her fingers.

I don't get it. What was the point in making that dish for me? Was it really reward? Or was it a test to see if I still loved her?
