I Was Scared Of Everything, Until...
Manage episode 426567205 series 3583093
Hi, I'm Veraqueen. My genius dad and I had always been the best buddies. And when I was just seven, I helped him build a plane.
"Firecracker. It's not play time yet.(Hands her a screw driver) Come, screw this nut for me. You'll see love, this plane is going to make me super popular."
"You mean us! We're a team!"
"Hahaha! Yes Firecracker. Us."
Dad was an aerospace engineer and he was working on inventing a remote controlled plane. But when he finally thought it was ready and chose to show it to the world, that day, the plane refused to fly. Things were not the same between Mom and dad after that. Mom began to pick fights with him everyday.
"You silly man! You spent years working on that stupid invention! Now you're a failure! You should crawl up a hole and stay there!"
To make things worse, Dad's invention that failed him was all over the news. It broke his heart, and Mom wouldn't even let me comfort him.
"You poor thing, must have been hard with dad forcing you to work on that plane with him."
"He didn't force me! I loved working with him!"
Days later, Dad just packed up and left without a goodbye, I was so sad and angry at mom for making him go away.
It didn't help that mom also began to act like she doesn't remember I exist. Sometimes she would go to work without dropping me off at school, or forget to keep something for me to eat. She was terrible!
