My Awful Marriage
Rachel Fonfrias 1979 (Queens)
For over 10 years. you kept me in tears. Everyday of my life I lived in fear while keeping my kids near. Taking care of the house trying to be the perfect spouse, you cheated on me and told me you never needed me. I gave you my life and you returned it by putting me through strife. I didn't notice the red flag until after you used me as a punching bag. You shot me in the face with a BB gun and ran out of my place, you are a huge disgrace. I'm losing my vision and you want me to make the decision to drop the charges against you, so you can be free and try to kill me. You must be a retard because all you did was make my heart hard. Now your in jail and you think I will fail, don't be mad at me because you won't be getting any mail. You call crying telling everyone that I'm lying, you did the crime, now do the time. You want to act like a baby all because you couldn't treat me like a lady. You chose to raise fists and now the law persists. Your in that cell and I hope you burn in hell for every violent thought that has ever been sought. Now I've moved on and found happiness, just to let you know you will not be missed. I have chosen to let go of my history and all you are is a distant memory. The kids are not being bought, your just mad you were caught. I don't know why you even bother to come out and say that my man is trying to replace you as their father. You took yourself out of the equation and want to get mad because I have found someone amazing. I have to raise my voice and let it be known that my kids have the right to make their choice. They will always know where you are and won't be very far.
