This episode is about survival, escape, and the moment everything changed. It begins with a brutal fight between two women—one trying to protect me, the other begging for forgiveness. What followed was a tense journey to Staten Island, where shame, violence, and betrayal collided at a backyard barbecue. A slur over ketchup, a punch behind a locked door, and a moment I should’ve never witnessed. But by dawn, my mother made her move. With help from an unlikely ally, she grabbed the keys, grabbed me and my brothers, and got us out—for good. This is the story of how I left, how I never looked back, and how Brooklyn became home again. It’s raw, it’s real, and it was the last time I ever saw him.
