Autobiographical account
When I was in 4th grade, leading into my 5th grade summer, I had to deal with my parent's divorcing. For a couple of months, I had to deal with not being able to ask my father questions and having my mom, who at the time was annoying me. I didn't think much of it for about the first month or two but sooner or later it was to grow on me. I couldn't stop thinking about when I was going to see my dad and when is this no-dad thing going to end. When my parents divorced, I learned you just have to move on, other times you have to be proud of what you have, sometimes you have to look out for something, and sometimes things come to you. I remember distinctly the day that I was in my family car with my mom. She would say, "Donny, what would you think if me and your father divorced?" I was young and didn't know what to say. "Because his problem is getting out of hand." "No, and I married him because I thought he could take care of a family but so far he's done nothing but let me down." I knew then and there that she was right and I was wrong. "Okay." Little did I know about how much, months later, that was going to make me mad that I said that. I moved on though and was not i

It was hard on me to try to find someone to substitute as my dad though, so usually I would simply end up calling him and asking him questions over the phone, even though it was not the same.

My dad, 2 of my uncles, my grandma and some of my cousins all live on the same lake and the same area so that's where I spend a lot of my time during the summer and during school breaks like spring break. I have my 2 sisters, a stepsister, and two stepbrothers. I'm the only one that lives with my parents, my mom and Andrew, my step dad. I still keep in touch with my dad and it seems everything is going along well. My step dad and me are actually just now starting to get to know each other a little better and we are staring to act as if we were father and son. Even now, though, I still cannot call him dad, it' very weird to me. Now I've found out that sometimes moving on can be for the better or the worst and that you should never forget your past but learn from it. I remember that every now and then people would come over to my house and ask where my dad was. I wouldn't tell them that my parents divorced; I just simply said 'I'm only with my mother now'.
