Hello diary. It's Danielle. I know I haven't written since I was about 6, but I need to get some feelings out. In the past week I've been looking. Looking for answers to questions I've been asking for 6 years. When I was 11, I learned all my mother and Christian could tell me, or wanted to tell me, about my father. Since then I've wondered why everyone hated him so much. Mother says it was because of his face. I find it hard to believe that that was the only reason. I mean, I apparently have his face, but as far as I know I am accepted. The whole thing is really confusing. Someday I'll understand everything. I won't be happy until I do.
