Hey, I'm Madison Aden, looks like you found my journal from when I was a kid. Everything in there helped me become who am today, with the contribution of my best friend Jayden Morgan, who was able to let me see life from a new light.
Hear our backs...
Its been a while since my parents got their divorce. Everythng seemed like it was going well. I stayed with my mom. We were good. Untill more court stuff happened. I felt like a prize. Like an object. Both of my parents wanted me and I had no say in who I wanted to be with. It wasnt fair.
My parents acted like children in the court room, trying to prove the other as an unfit parent. My father got a hold of my moms therapy papers... he tried proving that my mom was menatlly and emotionally unstable to care for me.
My mom went to therapy because of him.
My mom tried to prove that my dad was an agressive alchoholic.
They both barely let the other speak. the judge dismissed the case untill my parents could act like adults.
I was getting the mail one day. And my mom got a letter from my dad's attorney. He was willing to share custody over me...
I really wanted to know why he wanted me. He hates me. Well he treated me like he did.
My mom agreed but the thing was if they wanted to share custody over me. They had to live in the same district...
My father decided to move closer to us. He had a nice place. It was a fairly large condo. Why he needs so much space for living alone? I had no idea.
It took a couple of months but it was settled. My parents shared custody over me.
I spent every other week or two with whichever parent. I had to get used to that routine.
It was actually really good. Too good. Way too good to be true. My father, he was different. He was like the person he was when I was four or five years old. He was nice. He had interest in me. He was a overall great person.
What changed?
He could go off at any second so I stayed on my best behaviour around him.
He hasn't hit me or insulted me, or insulted the people I cared about in a while. Something wasn't right. I couldn't tell if he was genuinely being a good father or was it a ruse.
Maybe he knew he was being watched. CAS has come to his condo twice, while I was here. I definitely wasn't the one who called them.
Well this time...
The man began to have decent conversations with my mother. Without making harassing remarks.
Maybe it's his mistress. I heard he was seeing someone behind my moms back, which is why he wanted the divorce.
My mom tried to mention a divorce years ago. She landed herself in the hospital by his hand. He jacked up her car and made it seem like she was in an accident.
He was a monster who dressed nicely.
His split personality kept me up at night. He could be cool calm and collected. Then the next day drunk angry and violent.
There had to be a way to get away from this man.

Yeah sorry,my lazy writing isn't helping this book...
I did ZERO research on custody for this chapter. I honestly had no idea what in the world I was talking about. Bare with me.
