I missed some things in the story. You said they got a divorce in the beginning, but wonder if it might've been better to tell that later because you glossed over it when you came to that time in the story, and if it came later, I think it would have great dramatic effect.

Also, I didn't understand why your dad hit you because your boyfriend murdered his father? And you left out how your brother died.

Otherwise, the story was well told and your conversational style is very engaging.
