Dear Diary,
Today I'm not going to write about how I love Joe McIntyre or how I can't wait to see Dax.
All I know is that for the last 15 minutes my mom and dad have been yelling and screaming. I don't know if they're yelling and screaming at each other or what. All I know is that there is some big thing going on with mom's family. I think Lucy and Gracie are scared.


Looking back, I think I was scared. Mom and Dad didn't fight in front of us. They rarely raised their voices to one another. But if there was a problem, everything would be secretive. If something was going on in the family, they would discuss it behind closed doors. My sisters and I were left in the dark about many things. "Protected". I get wanting to shelter your children. But I think my parents went too far. I didn't see it at the time. I started to understand the difference among families, the dynamics, after I started spending time with my husband's family. But, that is a long ways off....
