"I was locked in the closet when I was a little kid."

My father died when I was two years old at work and my mother couldn't take care of me, she was really wild and crazy at the time, so my grandparents took care of me. They were very alcoholic, abusive people. I was locked in the closet when I was a little kid, hit with a briar bush, old school rulers. They abused my mother.

She was abused as a kid, so she's taking everything out from her past on her daughter, her grandson. That's all she knew.

Sometimes cycles change. So a cycle can be broken. I figured if I don't want to be treated that way who else wants to be treated that way. I don't want to be treated that way. I'm not gonna do that.
