SIGHING LOUDLY AT THE MINI HAREMIAH FLASHBACKS IN CHANGING STATES. anyway. here's a paragraph that has nothing to do with that <3
He’d chosen to leave. The Christmas lights his stepfather insists he’ll take down every year but never does. The mailbox he’d inscribed in Sharpie when he was nine: JENKINS MAIL!!! The scent of his mother’s pinwheel cookies in the oven. His grandmother’s muttering as she fills out a crossword. His little brother Mika who was six and in a booster seat when he left. Time goes by so slowly, but does it? The day Jeremiah left for the west, he told his mother he knew what he was doing, what he wanted so far from home.

still it was sooooooo funny and uncomfortable at the psych appointment because she saw ? somewhere in papers/files that my mom and dad divorced in.... 2015 i think and shes all like "so.... usually divorce causes problems in children... how was that for you was it hard on you...?" acting all nervous/gentle like lmaooooo thats not even the worst part i dont think i cared about the divorce In Comparison to Everything Else. hed been abusive to my mom and generally neglectful not great to us (me and sibling) and theyd been separated for 6 years before the divorce because he kept going to jail for drug related things which he would often steal money from us for it and generally made my moms life hell by like manipulating and emotionally abusing her and hed have violent tantrums where he broke things (there are still holes in the walls and other damage in the house from him) and also sorta ruined our lives a bit and then in 2019 he was accused of some crime and he ran away to escape getting arrested or whatever and i think legally he is classified as a missing person and we dont even know if hes alive or not.
so like the divorce was whatever to me i guess.
