When I found out dad left I was at soccer practice waiting for him to pick me up. 30 minutes later, mom came and told me the news. I think I was more depressed than her when he left. She was thinking about a divorce when I was 5 and they always fought. I loved my dad so much I was so angry at him for leaving me alone with a drug addict and a dog who could hardly walk. Ever since then I didn't want to read his letter because I knew what he was going to say and I didn't want to be more angrier at him. When dad left thats when mom got out of wack, she started to abuse me. I had bruises and cuts for 6 years till she controlled it and still she loses her temper. Its like she doesn't understand that I have freaking cancer thats literally killing me. I just always wish I had that dad I'm starting to forget I ever had. Sometimes I just feel like running away and looking for him, but I know I will never get far especially walking.
