      “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?”

     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.
