My parents have always fought for as long as I can remember. This past Monday, my parents got into a fight that turned physical. My dad moved out of the house into my grandparents house and my mom stayed in our current house. For the past week I've been primarily with my dad and I know I always will be. This is the first weekend I'm spending with my mom since Monday and it hurts. I realize how much I miss my mom when I'm with my dad and how much I miss my dad when I'm with my mom. Also being in our old house keeps reminding me of old memories. I keep walking past my dads mancave and expecting him to be there. I want us all to be together again but they don't want to. My mom said she prefers it this way. She asked me if I was okay with it and I said yes. I lied because she likes it better. She likes it better even though she barely has any money and has no food. My dad refuses to come back because he's afraid what might happen. Being back in my old house is to much and I don't think I can take going back and forth when I'm constantly reminded of the old memories. It's all to much for me and I constantly cry every night. I can't do this forever.
