         Dear Diary,

                Riley is now in prison. She's not 17 like me, but instead she was 25 years old. She lied to me about her age and she already had a husband that was a marine, constantly deployed, and 2 year old little girl. Riley hurt too many people. She hurt her husband who thought she was a faithful woman, her 2 year old daughter who will not grow up seeing her mother, my dad who was left with immense guilt because he didn't know what that woman did to me, and lastly... she hurt me.

        She got 6 years in prison for 3rd degree Criminal Sexual conduct and 6 more months for domestic violence. When the trial was over, her husband came over and apologized for everything Riley did to me and that I'm strong for coming out and telling the police. He also thanked me for pretty much saving his daughter from her mother's potential abuse. Then that was that.

        Dad said we're going to move away again. This time to a different state. It won't be too far from here, but far enough where I'll be safe. He gave me a fair warning though that where we're going is going to be really chilly which I'm not too keen on....

        As much as I hate to admit it I still have an eating disorder.... I still sometimes don't eat, but I'm eating a little more. Ever since Riley has been put away I've been having less anxiety attacks (Not to say they don't occur but they occur a little less, but often enough unfotunetly). I still have a somewhat acute depression (There is nothing cute about depression) and I take medicine for it. As for more on my eating disorder.... I've developed bulimia.... On the days that I do eat, I sometimes over eat and eat to the point where I throw up. Which isn't too great and it stinks because sometimes I really am that hungry and I binge eat.

        Dad and mom are shying towards each other again and occasionally talking. Mom is learning to be a little more acceptive of my 'faggot' behavior. I don't like how she uses that word, but she's trying to understand me I guess which is honestly better than nothing.

        Life is getting better, diary... I'm closing a chapter of my life here in this little old town. Now I get to open a new chapter in Wisconsin in the middle of winter.

                All my love, until next time,
