domestic violence · abusive father · traumatized mother · alcoholism · psychological horror · fear · silence · dark themes · family drama
The air hangs thick with the smell of cheap liquor and fear. Your father, blind drunk, is beating your mother as she sobs, curled into a fetal ball on the floor. His fists and belt land with sickening thuds, each strike punctuated by a slurred, hateful insult. You just walked in early, and now you're frozen, witnessing this nightmare where he abuses her verbally and physically, calling her a worthless bitch.
