Mickey's dad is alcoholic. Mickey's dad beat Mickey and his mother with his belt. I make Mickey's dad hand red to show his violence. Also I use a monster behind dad because Mickey and her mom feel he is a monster.
Mickey's mom ran away secretly with Mickey from Mickey's dad. Mickey has mo idea where he and his mom are going. He keeps ask to his mom but she doesn't answer anything.
Mickey's mom takes Mickey to uncle Ronald's house. I use flowers to show Uncle Ronald's house is peaceful and safe for Mickey.
Is that Mickey and Mickey's mom??
Mickey, Uncle Ronal and O'Malley girls start to live together. Mickeys mom said to Mickey that she needs to go back to Mickey's dad because if Mickey and her both disappear together, her husband will try to found Mickey and beat Mickey again. So she go back to Mickey's dad's house. Mickey feels really happy in Uncle Ronald house but on the one hand, he misses his mom so much.
One day, Mickey's mom runs away from Mikey's dad again. She has a lot of bruise and looks really tough. O'Malley girls treat and take care of her.
When Mickey and Mickey's mom run away to uncle Ronald's house from Mickey's dad, Mickey's dad's friend saw them and tells it to Mickey's dad. I use black background around the train scene to show a flashback.
