      CHAPTER 1

      EARLY CHILDHOOD

      I grew up in a small European town where everyone knew each other. At the time, my family household consisted of just my older sister, parents, and me. My parents’ names were Georgiy and Natalia. My mother was a single parent when she married my father. When I was born my sister lived with us until she was four years old. Then she mysteriously disappeared. Grandparents took her in. Until this day I don’t know the actual reason why she moved in with our grandparents. Therefore I have no memories of her growing up until I turned 7.

      My mother had only one sibling, younger brother. As for my father he had three siblings, one brother and two sisters. I adored all of them, especially my Uncle Gregore and Aunt Natalia, I was named after her. She was also my god-mother. Whenever I visited my father’s side of the family we had a blast. The only person I failed to communicate with was my dad’s mother, unfortunately she didn’t speak any Russian. Nonetheless, that didn’t stop us from expressing our love towards one another. We did it through physical touch and acts of service. My father’s side of the family was a great example of what family dynamic should look and feel like. Sadly I couldn’t visit them as often, due to long distance.

      The memories I had growing up were mostly of Father and me. We spent a lot of time together at his job and outside of home. From what I remember, my parents had an abusive relationship. They fought a lot, especially when Father would come home late and drunk. As a child, I was scared because I had no idea what was going on. Father was screaming, and Mother was crying. They were so busy fighting that they would forget I was there, alone and afraid. As for my mother and me, we only spent time when we did chores together. Most of the time she was rigid and cold.

      They filed for divorce, when I was six years old. I was devastated and heartbroken. The thought of not seeing my dad every day was terrifying.

      When I was talking to my father, I said to him, I don’t want to live with Mom. I want to live with you.

      He would say, We’ll see each other often. There’s nothing to be afraid of.

      My mother and I eventually moved out from his house and moved in with grandparents. I visited my father almost every weekend, but it wasn’t the same. I couldn’t see him every day, and he couldn’t be there all the time like he used to. Whenever I visited him, we played games, rode his motorcycle, and watched our favorite TV shows.

      When it was time to go back, I would tell him every time, I don’t want to go. Please let me stay.

      My mother and I didn’t spend much time together even after the divorce, and it didn’t really bother me because we weren’t close. I was worried a lot about my father because, to me, he was all alone and had no one there for him.

      A few months after my parents had separated, my father told me that he would be moving out of town. We both knew it wouldn’t be the same anymore. He said to me, I will come and visit you, but not as often because I’m moving far away.

      I started bawling and couldn’t stop crying. I kept thinking, "Who’s going to spend time with me when he’s gone?" Who’s going to be there for me when I need it? And most of all, who’s going to protect me when he’s gone?

      He was one of the most important people in my life, and he was leaving. It felt like he was abandoning me. I wasn’t devastated about my parents getting a divorce, it was more about me losing the only person who cared about my well-being, and from that moment on it would never be the same without him. The thought of staying with my mother brought fear and anxiety.

      My older sister didn’t really remember her biological father, so in her eyes, he was her father. To us, he was the best father ever, the one who loved us and always did his best for us. And now he was gone.

      CHAPTER 2

      STEPFATHER

      Living all together in the same house, including my older sister, was a lot of fun because I didn’t get to spend much time living apart from her. It gave us the opportunity to have more time together, and both of us were very pleased. But before we knew it, our bonding time was coming to an end.

      It was a Sunday morning when I woke up and noticed a strange man in my mother’s bed. I got caught by surprise, so I left the room as fast as
