"I remember that night like it was yesterday" mom and dad were fighting like always,probably because dad had a little too much to drink.As always I was in my same hiding spot in the closet and I been in it so many times that I actually started to make it alittle more cozy with a pillow and book and the phrase that I say to myself when I'm in here is engraved in the wall with pen "everything will be better tomorrow".once I hear that the yelling and sound of broken glass is over I leave my spot and look to see the damage. As always dad had left to go to the bar and blow some steam while mom was in her room problaby crying.I thought is was just another fight like always but I think mom had enough. The night I decided to go to bed early to just rest this night off but that was a big mistake because while I was sleeping mom had decided to pack her stuff and leave but my mom did not want to deal with me so she decided that I was my dads problem now but when my dad came back he had packed his things and left also but he did not want to deal with me either so his only plan was to leave me here.when I woke up the next day I just thought that they went to the store so I waited and waited until night and they where still not home so I tried to call but no answer.I started to look around and I saw a letter on my moms bed and it said " dear Caroline,I'm sorry but I can't take it anymore with your Father he is not capable of taking care of you or anyone so I'm done. I have packed up all my things and I left but I can't take you because I need time alone but I will be back for you soon and if u wonder about your father just don't bother he is not coming back.I'm sorry sincerely mom". Instintly I started to cry and it felt like somebody just stabbed me in the back and I had just fallen to my knees that night and cried.that memory still haunts me to this day but things have changed a lot not just in me bit in my society.
