June 6th, 2011, cloudy.

The weather today is really bad, and my mood is also very gloomy.

Dad discovered Mom was having an affair, and Dad wants to divorce Mom.

The two of them argued until very late.

I'm terrified. I don't want them to get divorced. Why is Mom doing this? Wasn't our original family a good one?

Several classmates are from single-parent families; some are doing well, while others are not.

I'm terrified of what kind of life awaits me in the future.

June 16, 2011, sunny

The sky today still has many little stars, twinkling like bright eyes, which fill people with hope.

However, after looking for a long time, I still didn't feel any hope.

Today, Dad and Mom had another fight. They've decided to get a divorce, and they both asked me which one I should stay with.

I really want to stay with my dad because my mom made a mistake and my dad got angry.

Actually, even if Mom didn't want that person, they could still be happy together, but Mom didn't want to, so... Dad didn't want to continue either.

Dad is a good dad, and I don't want him to be all alone.

But my mother secretly told me not to stay with my father, because he would find a new wife and have new children, and then he would forget about me.

I'm terrified. One of my classmates seems to be like that, and I don't want to be like that.

I don't know what to do.

June 18, 2011, a sunny day.

I was in class today, and my mom came to the school to find me at noon.

I didn't eat in the cafeteria; I went out with my mother instead.

As soon as I went outside, I saw a man who looked a little younger than my father.

She's a very kind person; her eyes crinkle when she smiles, making her easy to like.

As soon as he saw me, he called out my name, and then after we went to the restaurant, he ordered my favorite dishes.

I know he's my mother's boyfriend, and he's acting like this just to please me.

So, I deliberately did something very bad, and my mother got a little angry, but she never changed her expression.

Perhaps it was because of that meal that, but the next time my parents asked me who I wanted to go with, I decisively chose my mom.

August 2, 2012, cloudy.

My mother has been married for six months now, and she and her new father are doing very well.

My new dad is very good to me, and because of his meticulous care, I've started calling him Dad too.

He's someone my mother likes, so wouldn't it be great if our family could all be together like this?

I called my dad.

My dad is always busy and doesn't have time to talk to me.

I don't want to fight anymore. It's probably like what my mother said: people change, they all have their own lives, and no one stays the same forever.

Fortunately, I am very happy now, and my new dad is great.

But deep down, I still feel a little disappointed. I hope things will be much better in the future.

They are a very, very good family.

May 15, 2013, thunderstorm.

The weather is getting hot again.

I'm about to start my first year of high school, and I'm still a little excited.

Because the exams are coming up soon, my new dad has been helping me with tutoring. I wasn't a bad student to begin with, and this tutoring is just to help me get into a top high school.
