My mother was ruthlessly snatching the baby from her arms and shoving her toward the kitchen, even though her surgical wound had barely begun to heal. My mother hissed, ‘Blood loss is no excuse for a dirty house; get up and scrub the floor.’ As my wife collapsed in pain, clutching her stitches, I walked out of the meeting, called a locksmith, and vowed that my mother would never set foot in our home again.

PART1: On Easter Sunday, my daughter sobbed, “Dad, please come get me. He hit me again.” Then, there was a scream, a violent crash, and a dead silence.
