The Misunderstood

Custody

Everything is getting out of hand. There's nothing I can do now. It's just like a grudge, you can keep it for a while but eventually everything will blow up in your face.

The court agreement was made in 2002. Almost 15 years ago. Why couldn't it just hold?

Everything came crashing down all at once. Of course it had started weeks ago, but then I just tried to pretend like nothing was happening.

It was only when my dad showed up that everything went downhill. Screaming ensued.

It started off with my dad pulling into our drive way. Then the phone call. He had harmless intentions of course. He just wanted to be able to see me. It had been over a month at that point.

We had it all worked out. I was going to see him that Friday. He was going to come and pick me up.

Of course from there everything started becoming as sour as lemonheads. My mom asked me for the phone, and being too afraid of her to refuse, I handed it over.

She started asking for money from him. Money that he doesn't have. My mom doesn't need the money, but she feels as though he should contribute something to the band trip I had gone on the weekend previous.

He started telling her how he would get the courts involved in everything. She returned by screaming at him and threatening to call the police because he was on her property. She went outside. There was a lot of screaming. What about I can't tell, I stayed inside.

I just wish it could've been avoided.

But it's no different than trying to change the outcome of The Titanic. No matter what you try to do to forget or change it, the titanic sinks and my parents remain in a custody battle for me.

Well... it's late but here is chapter two. I mean to post it on Friday, but I got grounded by my mom... haha. 😒 Anyways! Happy Easter and enjoy!
