The nice lady that had taken us in, was in a fatal car crash and sure enough, it was her. Our world fell apart, once again. Her house was ransacked not long after and everything was repossessed. After that, he stopped showing up for work and eventually got fired. He somehow managed to keep me in school and my sister at daycare though.

With Amy still in daycare, I had to pick her up on my way home from school. My dad couldn’t be bothered to get off his lazy ass. He became a drug dealer not only to make money for himself but so it would be easier for him to get a hold of the substances too. That’s how he made his living now. Selling drugs.
