Dear Diary,
My dad came home a couple hours ago and he was shocked to see me here. I hugged him and never wanted to let go. I started crying, which isn’t something I like to do very often. I said I missed him.
He missed me too and we talked for awhile. He said he is going to have to notify the State that I’m home. I asked him if that can be undone, can I no longer be considered a ward of the State? He said he has gone through three lawyers and asked their advice, and yes, he can try and fight it but it doesn’t help when I run off. He made it sound like I really messed it up last time I left.
He doesn’t want me back at the detention facility mainly because now there has been some claims of abuse and I said that doesn’t surprise me. He is hoping that will stop me from going there.
He did ask me how long I was planning on staying this time. I explained that I was being taken care of by Kemper, never mentioned him exactly, and that I wanted to go home. I want to finish school even though I hate it. He agrees that I need to go back to school.
I have missed him so much! I apologized and said that I want to have another chance. He got teary eyed and said he would never stop giving me chances.
I wanted to talk about mom and Ryan but I figured that would close him up so maybe another day.
I’m also relieved he didn’t pressure me with a bunch of questions because I’m not going to tell him much of anything about Kemper.
