My Dad and step-mom are getting a divorce, and she gets John Michael. Worst part is, we only get to see him when she decides it's ok until the court sets up an actual schedule in 6-8 months.
Beyond that, I'll be getting a cell phone soon. My Dad is keeping the Jeep for me. Mary is out of the house therefore making my stay a lot less miserable. My Dad said he's noticed I'm happier, and I'm a lot less stressed out. I do feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The weight that kept me from being a truly normal teenager. My friends weren't allowed over during the week, or weekends mostly for that matter. Mainly because Mary didn't like it. My Dad and I always felt supervised when we were with JM. As if the only people able to be around him were Mary and her parents. I was never able to go out during the week if I had a ride there and back from someone else. Now my Dad is there to bring me or pick me up. My Dad said my friends are always welcome here before and he meant it, but Mary didn't. So now all my friends are truly welcome here. So guys, I expect you all to drop by often.
Although the weight of Mary has been lifted, so has the weight of my little brother. Sure he got annoying sometimes and sometimes I got aggravated, but any of you who'd seen me with him knew I loved him more than anything. He was more than a brother to me, he was my little buddy. I wanted to teach that kid everything. Being a fifteen year old kid with a four year old brother was amazing. He liked all the things I liked when I was four. Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, Spider-Man, and older brothers.
I miss him so.
No one should have to cry this much.
