So when I was four months old, my mom go diagnosed with CML. My dad kept on going to New York for work. When he was working on a movie he had sex with
the girl who is 18 years younger than him. My mom found out when the baby was born.

My moms CML disappeared and the they went to court and I was 2 1/2 when I started going back and fourth. When I would go there, it was torture. I had
to sleep in a very small bed. I had to share my bed with the baby.

After they were in court for two years, my moms CML came back. My mom could have died. Then my mom had to sell the house that we were living in. And
we had to live in my grandmas house for six months. It was terrible. But I had to still go back and fourth. And the baby’s name is Jack and Jack
would have major tantrums he would bang his head against the ground and I would be in the kitchen corner crying. And they would yell, I hate it
when people yell like that. Then me and my mom moved into a different house, it is huge and amazing.

My mom takes drugs for CML to stay away. My mom is healthy. But since we moved, I now live 2 hours away from my dads house. And then a year later,
he got another child, named Ava. Everything changed after that. I knew something was up. At one point I slept on the couch and I also slept in
a little teepee in the living room in a tiny house. Are you kidding me? And then I got and real normal bed when I was 8. And my mom is the best
ever. And now I am almost 13, Jack is 10, Ava is almost 6. My relationship with my dad is not so good. I still see my dad every other weekend.

I got my helix piercing because he was in Morocco for work. I have been stealing stuff from him. And he just recently lost his watch, and I never stole
it. Me and my mom are religious and I would text him and pray for him to find his watch, I would text him that I was doing that. And then he asks
me privately if I stole it, I said, “No, l did not steal it. You can put a lie detector test on me.”

I have been going to a therapist with my dad. I have only seen her a few times. Now, I don’t see her anymore. Rachel, my step mom, is a hoar. She was
also married to someone else while my dad was having sex with my dad. That is gross. And the last I went there I brought a notebook with me to
write what happened when I was over there.

All of us watched Family Guy. They are insane for making us watch that. And my dad kept on staring at me. I would roll my eyes and try to show him
that this is not fun, I am angry, I am pissed off right now. So then he would get mad. And then we decided to play Charades. After a few rounds,
Jack and Ava were sort of fighting with each other. And Jack got sent into his room and Ava had to be carried into her bedroom and Rachel had to
keep the door closed physically. I decided to go into my bedroom and I cried. I could hear yelling. Again, I hate it when people yell. It is so
annoying.

The next day, Ava wakes me up and I am very angry, mad, and I had mixed emotions. Then Rachel took the kids away. I am happy about that. Then me and
my dad saw Catching Fire. It was a great movie. Then we went home and an hour later I think, they come back. And I have to play with Ava. And I
hate it when I have to and then my dad says this to me, “Be a better actor about it.” At that moment, I wanted to kill him. Glad I had nothing
in my hand because I would of used it. The the night was normal and then the next day he asked me if I stole his watch. I was so angry and I so
wanted to murder him at that point. He has Peter Pan syndrome. And if you don’t know what that is, look it up. And my bedroom looks like a cube.
It is so tiny. Compared to my bedroom, it is huge. Pans I have my own bedroom. So that is my story.
