He got incredibly mad over this and yelled at my siblings and me for an hour and a half. Nobody said that they had moved it which made him even madder. Eventually I had told him I moved it because I knew it would be easier to take the blame and the consequences rather than having him yell and scream all night. I ended up getting 'spankings' and grounded for two weeks. Except his idea of being grounded is much different from most parents. When my siblings and I got grounded we had to sit at the dining room table all day. As soon as we got up until the moment we went to sleep. We were not allowed to do anything except read a book. It was not allowed for us to play cards or board games with anyone or even talk to them for that matter. We had to sit quietly and read a book for the entire day. .
There was one incident in which I was grounded for a month straight. I had gotten mad at my cousin so I had taken her favorite stuffed animal her dad had gotten for her and hid it. Once I told my dad where it was he had freaked out. He threw me into the closet door which in turn sprained my elbow. I had hit my elbow directly on the door knob and screamed in pain. My mom was standing by watching and said nothing. He had also threw a book at me after I had fell to the ground. This was one of the more vivid memories I have of him. The abuse did not only happen to myself but my other siblings as well. He very often took his anger out on my two brothers, Joey and Dillen, and me, but not often on my two sisters, Brittnie and Kourtney. And there was not a single memory I have of him every laying a hand on my younger brother, Nathaniel. This was his baby and he never wanted anything to happen to him. Nathaniel got away with everything but it was not his fault, I cannot blame him for this because he had no control over him. For years I hated Nathaniel because he never had to deal with what I had to deal with.
