“Why write a memoir? It means the world becomes yours. If
you don‛t do it, it drifts away and takes a whole piece of
yourself with it, like an amputation. To attack it and attack it
and get it under control- it‛s like taking possession of your life,
isn‛t it?”
-Ted Hughes

Movinginwithmymom
The summer between my seventh grade and eighth
grade year I moved out of my dad’s house and into
my mom’s. It was a difficult thing to do, but my mom
and I had been talking about it for some me. She
moved closer to my dad’s house so that I wouldn’t
have to change schools. Then, when it was me to
stay with her for six weeks in the summer, we
decided I would not go back at the end. My mom
hired a lawyer, and I had to see a mediator. The court
appointed mediator told me I might have to stay with
my dad if that’s what the courts decide. But I knew
that I would get to stay with my mom. Eventually the
court made its decision, and I was able to legally be
with my mom. Aer that I only saw my dad at
Christmas.
