It was July 1 the year of 1987 when the mother was pregnant although she had knew how many months along she was that the baby would be born with birth complications although she knew that she could be conceiving a baby at any moment she still focused her mind on hard drugs so when the time had came she was admitted into the emergency room giving birth to a baby boy by the name of Eric David butts when she was giving birth the baby was having a hard time so when she had finally conceived her son the doctors had ordered lab work to be done so when the nurse had came in and did lab work the results had shown up positive for meth in her bloodstream that same night that baby had stopped breathing and the nurse did everything she can to keep the baby boy alive so after hours of hard work the baby boy was finally stable so one year later Eric was one years old the time was two in the morning he was hungry so he would cry mother got so mad she started yelling and screaming and getting frustrated to the point where the baby boy that turn one would get more scared and scream more so then she would talk down on him shut up shut up I said be quiet right now good more she kept yelling the more the baby would scream and scream so finally she gave in and fed Eric then the baby had finally fell asleep so the next morning the baby starts crying again because Eric is hungry and the mom would get mad and upset and start yelling and then the baby would get scared again finally the father of the son David butts walks into the house while she is standing over the baby yelling at an innocent child damn it what are you doing this baby won't shut up it won't stop crying well maybe if you feed the baby he would actually calm down did you ever think of that and of course the mom being all strung out on drugs wasn't really all there at the time forget it I will pick up our son come here it's okay here's some milk so the dad fed the baby and carefully patted him to sleep and then the mom's watching dad put the baby to sleep gets all frustrated and mad since you could take care of the baby so good why don't you stay your ass home and take care of the baby I'm going to trust you to go work at job and keep bills up and make sure that our son has everything he needs let me think about it no so the mom gets mad and storms off and at times she would not show up for hours sometimes days even weeks finally she was caught in it at so this is what you have been doing huh out here all strung out on dope putting needles in your veins so as she had turned to him stumbling to walk towards him she had said well I needing something to keep the edge going okay well let me tell you about that something while you're out here being all strung out on drugs and cheating and acting Unfaithful being such a disrespectful b**** I'm over here at home working and taking care of our son doing what a parent needs to do so what are you saying that I'm not a parent what's that supposed to mean you know what it means you know what I'm saying so why you even talking like you're the innocent victim when you're not you're out here being strung out on dope shooting needles in your veins why I'm at home taking care of Eric you call yourself a parent you call yourself a mom a mother figure ha forget about it so four years later Eric turns 6 years old and he was left alone with the mother once again although the father had to work to try to keep bills paid and food on the table not only for Eric but for the mother as well so he would get so upset in freak out because of all the emotional and physical abuse he would bang his head on the door it was the only way he knew how to get attention from others so when Mom had took Eric out to breakfast there she had met this guy named Mark Eric did not like him at all so he would put his cigarette out with a super soaker and say I got you he would walk inside all upset and Eric would get his Super Soaker tooken away so a month later Eric was placed in a foster home for the meantime it wasn't too long although it seemed like it would be forever for Eric to be home with his family so Ron and Barbara the foster parents made Erica comfy room Eric was staying with three other people the other kids who were Maybe a age older had accidentally caught the couch on fire so when the other kids had ran to the room Eric had stayed out there Ron would walk into the living room what have you done I didn't do it it was not me oh really it wasn't you okay why are you the only one out here then but but it wasn't it wasn't me oh really for lying you could stand in the corner and hold to paint cans up in the air and if you let one arm down even for a second you will have to start your time out all over do you understand me yes so did everything in his power to hold them heavy cans in the air cuz he knew even for a slight second if he was to let the can down even a inch even by accident he would have to start all over the next morning breakfast rolls around why the whole family is sitting at the table eating food why Eric was picking up little tiny slivers without using a vacuum that was his punishment even for something he did not do and when the kids were looking they felt so bad but still put the blame on him Michelle and David came to visit Eric Michelle was his new mom and Eric loved
