"Running away from you," I tell him, sticking my tongue out at him for good measure as I kick the ball past him. "I thought we were still playing." "You know I 've got to be home and cook dinner," he says, running a hand through his sweaty dark hair. "Your mom 's working?" I ask, dribbling the ball with my feet absentmindedly. "Yeah, late.

My sisters Leah and Gabby had a similar situation going back and forth between their father’s and our mom’s houses. They decided that they didn’t want to live with our mother anymore. I wouldn’t know until I was 20, but apparently my mom had conversations about being suicidal with them.
