Raul had to go on this random trip to Russia, which left me alone and pregnant. We had gotten into an argument right before he was leaving and he had grabbed me and I reacted by trying to push him off of me. We pushed and pulled at each other until he shoved me and I fell down the stairs. I started bleeding instantly and I thought I had cut myself from the fall. I didn’t think that it was something that had to do with the baby. I had never been pregnant before so I didn’t know what things I should be concerned about or incidents that might occur that should cause alarm.

After I fell he left. He walked right out the door without checking to see if I was okay. He didn’t even look back. I didn’t call the cops because I didn’t want to get him in trouble. I know, I know, it sounds stupid but you have to understand that not only was I in shock from the fall but I was afraid of what might happen to me if I did call the cops or anybody for that matter.

I never told anyone. I had been groomed to just deal with it. I went to the bathroom to try to wipe it away and at this point my belly was too big so I couldn’t see down there so I thought everything was okay. I got in the bed and tried to comfort myself the best I could and eventually I fell asleep.

The next morning my first thought was to go back to New York. Up until that point I had developed an attitude of having done everything on my own and now I had to let my pride go in order to give my son a fighting chance. I wanted to give him a better way of entering the world and I knew that if I stayed, his chances were slim to none. As long as I remained with Raul the abuse would continue and worst of all I may end up losing him. I didn’t want that to happen and just the thought of it brought tears to my eyes. I shipped a few things back home and I packed what I could carry and I left.

When I got back to the Bronx I stayed with my sister Lisa and got my doctor’s and everything in order. I made all the necessary appointments and was trying to get things back on track. My stay with Lisa was very short lived because we didn’t get along at all during my pregnancy. Both of us are Scorpios and we have our own way of doing things and after a while it became too much.

Lisa is a little obsessive with the way she organizes things in her house; everything has its own place, has to face a certain way and it frustrated me because not only was it already hard being under someone else’s roof but now I had to deal with all of her annoying habits.
