Family Without A Man

Happy family her and her son enjoying the days they have together but also struggling. The father can't seem to remain in there lives because of his mistakes. The son doesn't understand why mom and dad continues to argue every night but the son wants the dad to remain in the household. He feels that dad completes the household without him it wouldn't be the same. Mother and son decides to leave so that the mother could be able to get her mind right. She loves her some and would do anything for him but at the same time she wants the father to do the same. It seems like he can't seem to manage the responsibility in the household.

Son eats dinner while mom is on the phone talking to her cousin about what kind of man the father is in such a fierce voice. When the father walk in from his mother house, the son stops eating fork drops on the plate and makes a ringing noise. The father hands are clean like he just washed them smelling like the Victoria secret but tell the son he has had a long day at work. Son is just amazed because his inspiration has just walked in the door. The sound of the door slamming alarmed the mother. As she walks down the hall flat footed stepping so hard that it sounds like she's stumping.

She finally approaches the family. She knows that something isn't right about him. She gives him a outrageous look. The look on her face would make most babies cry. The father begins talking to his wife about how his day went. She's just listening knowing that he is lying. She begins to question him. He tries to ignore the question and change the subject. Then the son is just standing there lost for words. He has experienced this but he gets tired of it. The son yells at the parents,"can you guys just get along." But the parents yell and tells there son to go in the room. So the son feelings is hurt in the inside and he starts crying on the way to his room silently. The parents continue to argue loudly. Mother and father are yelling at the top on there lungs.

The son is in the room listening. He realizes his inspiration is no longer his father he doesn't want to be nothing like him. He doesn't want to see women hurt and he realizes the truth is better than lies. He now understands why his mother tries to stay away from his father. He also understands that in order for it to be a man in the house he has to take initiative as he grows up.
