- I remember feeling incredibly sad and drowned in darkness when my parents sat me down the for the first time to tell me that they were going to be getting a divorce.
- They told me during the summer of 2015, the year I graduated from middle school.
- I remember my father going up to our family cabin we had in the white mountains; he must have been gone for a couple months. During the time I was left with my mother, and her boyfriend at the time.
- Once my father moved back into the house, because he won it in court, I remember telling my parents that I wanted to live with one of them each week. So I would spend Monday through Sunday living with my mom, then the next week living with my father. I could remember doing this to make them both happy, but deep down, it didn’t make me happy.
- One week when I was living with my mom, I told her that I wanted to live with my dad full time, she was heart broken, but I still loved my mother, I just had to do what made me happy.
- I don’t think this set in with my mother and I remember a week later having to talk to the police that came to my father house; I told them I did not want to go to my mothers house out of my own will. I guess they thought my dad was kidnapping me.
- While living with my mother, I remember not caring about school, or much of anything in fact.
- I remember failing a class my first semester of High School, and getting D’s and C’s in my classes. I also remember telling my father once I started living with him that I hated school and I wanted to drop out. I knew that this hurt my father because all three of his previous kids never finished High school, they all dropped out. My dad had a talk with me and I soon released that I had to come to terms with my parents divorce, and I should be living the way I am, because it ain’t right.
- As soon after I released everything I was doing wrong at the time, I begun to change my mindset on life, and realize everything happens for a reason.
- (Talk about how I succeeded in school)
