Ok. So my parents are divorced and it’s been really hard for me. Basically, I get up to go to school on Thursday, drop my big sis off at middle school, then go straight to my dads house. I stay there till Monday. I get ready for school and go to school like normal, but my mom picks me up. In the case of no school, I go to my moms at 3:00. Then I stay with her until that Thursday, then I go to my dads house for dinner but I only have time to do homework, pick up some Chopt or Chipotle, the go to new Canaan to eat and pick my sisters up, then go straight to moms house and stay with her till Monday. Then the cycle repeats. But anyway, my dad got a girlfriend, let’s just call her…Jenny. They have been together for about 2 years. They, um, well, I’ll cut to the chase. They got engaged. I knew, my dad told me, and I love her, but it’s going to be weird. Especially with my real birth mother. Well, my mom hates my dad, my dad doesn’t hate her so strongly. I have a lot of time alone with them, so I have both sides of the story. My dad thinks she only wants what will make me like her more than my dad and wants the most custody with me. My mom thinks my dad is being unreasonable. Whenever I mention my dad to my mom, she changes the subject. So I was with my dad and we were watching a movie. Jenny was there too. We talked about it. Jenny says “your mom can text me too, I gave her my number.” And I said that she won’t, and it turns out my mom hasn’t texted Jenny at all! Not even once! So at this point I’m confused. Can you help me puzzle out what I can do? If I should do anything? If I should try to help Jenny? How I can help? What my mom wants or needs? What my dad wants or needs? Also, sorry about how this cry for help is in the form of a novel.
