Gone

So much happened this weekend.

Friday I left to go to my dad's house and so he picked us up. I asked him for money. He freaked out and started yelling and cursing at me. It was really hard to not say anything back. We got into a big argument about just everything that has been going on with my mom, grandparents not talking to him, his own brother talking to my mom, him not having any money or job, and I could just go on forever about what we talked about in 10 minutes. We got on the express way, and I told my dad something, and he started to yell at me. He was like, "GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT NOW!" and he kept on repeating himself. I was going 60 mph or something. He starts grabing the wheel and trying to pull to the side of the road. I was hoping that at that moment God would give me enough strength to keep my grip on the wheel. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold it any longer, and he grabbed the wheel, and I didn't know what to do, so I start slamming on the breaks and screaming. It was scarey. We were on the shoulder and he took the keys and walked around and pushed me over to the passenger side. He was taking us home to EP. He was yelling and swearing at us the whole ride. I had to tell Cheryl to stop screaming at him because every time he screamed at her, he would point his finger at me and every time he did that I thought he was going to hit me. It was so scarey. All through it, I didn't cry, I couldn't because he would call me a baby and tell me not to cry because he doesn't care. He got really angry again, so, he stopped at a gas station and left us there. We called up our mom to pick us up, and she nicely brought us to Park Forest. My dad came to the gas station for the second time and was swearing and told us to get in the car. We didn't, and he drove off really angry.

So, he called me up over the weekend. He's leaving. He's leaving the state, he's not telling us where he's going. He's just leaving. One thing that's really going to affect me is he's my ride to church, my ride to my friends, my ride to what helps me when I'm not doing so great in Evergreen Park. This is going to be a really hard year.

I really need all of you to help me out. Pray for me.
