Dear Diary,
Mom tricked Dad into signing the divorce papers and took them to court. It is now officially declared that Mom and Dad aren't married anymore. Dad wanted me but I liked Mom better than him because he was quick tempered. I heard sobbing from my room and when I looked around, I saw Dad. He was in the bathroom crying and talking to himself. Dad said,'' I've lost my wife and now my adopted son. I want to keep the pet but Tina is taking the cat too.'' I was relived that Lovely is coming with me and Mom. I didn't know what I would do without Lovely. Dad moaned and moaned about how he could keep his house but couldn't keep the important people in his life. When Mom came up, I hurried back because Mom disliked spying on people and I knew I would get in trouble. When he came out, he was actually crying with tears pouring down his face and begged Mom and me to stay. Mom retorted,'' You spent a lot of money from the college and retirement fund at the bar. You have forsaken the duty to take care of our first child and he copied you. Marvin is in jail for LIFE because of you. Now, I won't let you mess up this child.'' She left right after. I knew that Dad did bad things and killed people. He went to jail because of that. Mom knew that she made a mistake marrying him. I hope she didn't make the mistake of divorcing him. I asked Mom about that and she told me that she had gave 145 chances and he messed it up. '' I had to bail him out many times.'' she said.
