For My Readers

Just  to  let  everyone  know,  Jessica  is  real.  She  is  my  distant  cousin  that  slept  with  the  father  of  my  baby.  Her  alias  messed  me  up.  She  used  to  go  by  the  nickname,  Red,  since  she  was  damn  near  white.  Her  government  name  is  Scarlet.  Her  beef  with  me?  Scarlet  is  HIV  positive  and  blames  me  for  that.  Here's  the  story:


Back  in  the  summer  of  1997,  my  cousin  Scarlet  had  her  first  child  by  a  married  man.  So  much  shame  was  placed  upon  her  that  she  gave  the  baby  away.  Since  she  was  only  nineteen,  giving  her  baby  up  didn't  phase  her  that  much.  It  wasn't  until  the  spring  of  2008,  when  I  had  my  baby,  that  Scarlet  regretted  her  mistake.  She  would  always  make  sarcastic  remarks  about  our  parenting,  since  my  baby's  father  stayed  with  me.  Scarlet  wanted  my  life  so  she  tried  her  best  to  sabatoge  my  relationship.


Scarlet  had  no  idea  what  I  was  going  through.  My  baby's  father  had  become  abusive  toward  me.  I  hid  behind  the  name  brand  clothing  and  the  brand  new  car  he  bought  me.  That's  all  Scarlet  and  everyone  else  saw.  After  two  years  of  abuse,  the  final  straw  that  turned  me  off  from  the  love  of  my  life,  was  when  he  cheated  with  multiple  women.  To  make  matters  even  worse,  he  brought  the  video  that  he  made  with  those  bitches,  home  and  showed  it  to  me  telling  me  I  should  pay  close  attention.  Right  at  that  moment,  I  packed  my  baby's  clothes  and  a  few  of  mine.  He  knew  that  I  had  a  lot  of  responsibilities  taking  care  of  our  baby.  Life  was  not  the  way  it  used  to  be.


Once  Scarlet  found  out  that  I  had  separated  from  my  baby's  father,  her claws  were  all  in.  She  boasted  about  much  sex  they  had.  How  much  of  a  freak  he  was  and  how  he  said  she  was  "better"  than  I  was.  The  huge,  extravagant  grin  she  wore  on  her  face  made  me  sick.  Scarlet  even  rubbed  in  the  fact  that  he  wasn't  taking  care  of  his  baby  either.  She  would  wave  her  diamond  bracelet  in  my  face  and  scream,

"How  many  packs  of  diapers  can  you  buy  with  this?!"  Anger  and  devastation  filled  my  heart.  All  I  could  do  was  continue  on  my  journey  and  be  a  good  mother.  I  should  have  beat  her  ass,  you  say?  Then  I  would  have  ended  up  in  jail.  Then  who  would  care  for  my  baby?  Scarlet's  a  snitch!

A  few  months  later  Scarlet  was  badly  beaten  by  baby  daddy  and  hospitalized.  Scarlet  had  been  tested  from  her  job  as  a  nurse  and  learned  that  she  was  HIV  positive.  Since  Scarlet  thought  she  was  the  only  woman,  she  confronted  baby  daddy  and  he  whipped  her  ass.  Then  she  accused  me  of  infecting  him,  but  I  was  routinely  tested  throughout  our  relationship,  since  he  had  given  me  Chlamydia  once.

So  you  see  "Jessica"  it  wasn't  my  fault.  Your  whoreish  ways  just  caught  up  with  you!

Thanks  again for  reading!!
