LOL!! I don't know if you meant this to be funny or simply biting commentary, but it made me literally LOL! It is also, probably the shortest piece I've read here, but good writing isn't wordy. It's succinct and to the point, which is exactly what this is. You made your points well and even explained them. So, I just have to ask something. Are you (or were you) a psychology major?
It's almost difficult to say much about this. It's painful. But so incredibly well done. I could smell the eggs...see the little bit of clutter in the house...I wanted to just smack him! His stupid shoes by the door where he left them....makes me boil. Your writing has stirred emotions which is what good writing is meant to do. If there are small errors, I didn't notice them. I was caught up in the story. I was an editor once-upon-a-time and grammatical errors, misspellings/typos usually jump out at me. If they exist in this piece, I didn't see them because all I saw as I was reading was the situation Carla was in. In my opinion, very well done.
This was absolutely heart-wrenching. Very vivid in the details and description. One little comment, though. It would have been even more alive for me if you had described the smells coming from the filth in the home. I'm sure it must have been terrible, and that is the first thing a person usually notices. But otherwise, it was very well written.
