His mother’s insults were still ringing in my ears when he stormed in, rage contorting his face. “How dare you disrespect my mother?!” he yelled—then he struck me. Six months pregnant, I hit the floor hard. Cold tiles. Sirens. Terror. At the hospital, the door flew open. My father stopped short when he saw me and quietly said, “Tell me everything.”
