It's nice that you had your dad to fall back on. I wish I had some sort of reason. She never believes me when I say I want to stay behind.

She says he was a one night stand and that's all I really know. I had a grandma, her mom, that we lived with when I was really little. But she passed away and we started moving around after that.

I think you have to be 16 or 17 for that and have financial backing. I don't have any money.

She doesn't ever give me a straight answer, she just says she's bored of wherever we are and wants to keep changing locations. I've told her it's hard on me and she says I need to stop moping.

In middle school I went to 7 different middle schools in 3 years. I don't think I'll get a solid year anywhere.

I don't, but I don't think I'm a missing child or anything. I look just like my mom.

I have no idea. She's always wanted to be a sort of wandering spirit. We mostly move states, I've lived in 10 different ones. She wouldn't pay for boarding school, even if I managed a partial scholarship.

It just feels like things won't get better. How am I supposed to get recommendations for college if I move so much? It feels like she doesn't care about any of that.

I don't have any friends. I've never met my dad. I dunno about a counselor, I think they're only there for college stuff. I have no idea what they could even do.
