`` I do n't like it when mom acts like this dad. She scares me.'' my daughter said to me with fear in her eyes. `` It's going to be okay hunny, mommy is just sick. Go back to bed'' I replied in a hush tone. I did n't want her to overhear and cause a scene. Frankly, when she got like this, she frightened me as well. She could n't control herself, she did n't even want to. `` Hey, go to the store for me'' she blurted out. `` I do n't think that is a good idea sweetheart, someone needs to watch the kids.'' I replied. `` If you do n't then I'll drive there. Is that what you want?'' she said to me with a smirk on her face. Secretly I did want her to, I wanted her to get arrested and learn the error of her ways, maybe get some help. I could n't risk her hurting someone else on the way though. `` I'll go'' I said with hesitation in my voice. I went upstairs and got the kids up. I could n't leave them here with her. We got in the car and my youngest looked at me and said `` where are we going daddy?'' `` We are going away for awhile baby'' I said to her trying to calm her. `` What about mommy?'' she replied. `` Mommy, will be with us soon, she just has to get better first'' I told her starting to tear up. I turned around and started the car, I hated lying to my own daughter but I knew this was the last time we would see mom.
