We moved here after my dad got engaged to a woman named April. I didn't really know this woman as my dad only starting dating her a month before we moved into her house. Anyways at the time April's dad (John) was not feeling to well. He was coughing up blood and was in a hospital bed in the living room. Before he ended up passing John told my dad to not marry April, as she was not fit to be a wife. She was a drunk, and still had ties to her ex-husband. My dad ignored the warning then, but soon..

After the whole ordeal with April, my dad moved me in with my grandparents while he worked 8 hours away to try to get us stable again. I had trouble meeting new friends at school, but after a while i made some really good ones. After a year my grandparents wanted to sell their house to move closer to family in arkansas, at the time my dad had just bought an apartment just outside San Antonio. So when the house was sold, I moved in with my dad.
-
My dad soon realized that he had made a serious mistake by "marrying" this woman. Being she was a drunk, she would come home and drink the beers in the fridge. After getting tipsy, should would always yell at me and constantly gave me attitude. She would treat me unfairly from my other siblings (blaming things on me that one of her kids did) and a lot more. After talking to me about the situation, My dad pulled me out of school and brought me to the house. We grabbed the necessities and left.

After moving in to my Dad's apartment he ended up enrolling me in the school there. I was relatively shy but i ended up making new friends there. After a while my dad starting dating a new woman named Nina. She was really nice off of first impressions so I thought she might be a Mom role model for me. For context, my biological mother was a party freak and had multiple kids with multiple people. So when the time came, My dad got full custody of me. So after a while of talking, Nina moved in.

I have been at Floresville for three years now. Nina and my dad have been married for around a year and half, and I have a lot of really good friends at my school. I enrolled in JROTC courses and met a lot of really cool people. Around time though, my grandparents have not been feeling the best. And it was an 8-hour drive to see them on the weekends; so my dad wanted to find a house in arkansas. This conflicted Nina as most of her family was in Texas and which they always surrounded her..
-
Like I was saying before she loved her family, and didn't want to leave them. To top that stress my brother (her son) was going to go to Navy Bootcamp. And Nina and I have not built much of a relationship as she always hanged out with her son and I stayed in my room because i did not want to get in trouble. Even with all these issues she agreed to move to Arkadelphia. I was not there for the first two-three months because I was helping my grandpa because he had surgery on his hip. It get's worse
-
It was a shock that they were moving, but at the same time i expected it. My dad was now working in West Texas and was out-of state most of the month. My dad didn't want me dealing with that stress and the stress of finding more friends in school so he told her to move out. And just like that, they're gone. I ended up living with my grandparents for half a year until my dad found someone new who (in my eyes) is like his twin. So of course I got along with her. Now we live here and its nice.
-
My dad called me one night saying that Nina told him that she was thinking about suicide. Around this time I have moved into the house in arkadelphia and have noticed her mood has changed dramatically. She always was in bed with my brother there talking to her, there was a lot of crying and emotion filling the house. Apparently my dad and her have been arguing over the phone about the whole situation. Next thing I know my brother told me that they were packing and moving out.
-
In conclusion, I have been through a lot. And honestly after the last breakup with Nina it was really hard. I missed my friends from Floresville and my dad was still in West Texas. So i became in a depressed state, I didn't really pay attention in school and just everything went downhill. I eventually got over it after My dad's new girlfriend moved in. She related to me in so many ways it was nice to think I Wasn't alone. My dad still works and is only here 1-week out of the month. But i'm happy
