I started reading this book called "Split" by Swati Avasthi. Dru read it this summer as her free choice book, so I decided to give it a try myself. When she first told me about it, I thought it would be gross and depressing. I turned out to be really wrong. I'm not very far into it, but I can already tell I'm going to like it.
"Split" is basically about a boy named Jace that lives in a home of abuse. His father beats both him and his mom. Jace has an older brother that moved out of their house in attempts to start a new life. Jace runs away to go live with his brother, which sounds great and all, but there's one big problem: their mother is still stuck with their father. Alone.
This topic of abusive households honestly just really makes me mad. Seriously, why would you beat your spouse or children? You are their family, and hopefully you love them, so what makes you want to put your hands on them? These people are sick and controlling if you ask me. They are no better than the rest of the their family, so they just need to back off! Ggggggrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! It makes me so mad! I feel so bad for these victims that can't even feel safe in their own homes: Living a life of fear. I hope these families can resolve their many issues.
That would really stink if your parents abused you. I feel aweful for kids and spouses everywhere that have to deal with that.
