A/n : in my story Susie's Dad is a cop and I own no part of the characters.

Dear Diary

Mom and Dad have been fighting a lot recently. Dad has to leave early for work and comes home late. He has also gotten grumpy lately I think it's stress. He has started smoking and he drinks "grown up juice" ( A/N: alcohol) I am worried that they might break up. Mom took me to grandma's house last week. Found out it's near that dumb jerk Moe but thankfully mom drove me to school.Then we went back home, mom said she just ' needed a break '.

Susie turned a few pages it was years before she understood what happened. When her mom returned her Dad had ended up buying her a "She Shed" and had turned the garage into a "Man Cave".

Dear Diary

Dad came home early today he looked scared and he and mom kissed for awhile. Then he walked all over the house like he was looking for something but he would not say what. He then asked me if I had seen anything weird. I told him about Calvin's antics but other than that nothing happened.

Susie flipped the page.

Dear Diary

I found out today Calvin and his folks went on a vacation to see a wedding and while they were gone his house was robbed. That's why Dad was home early yesterday. Anyways I heard Dad tell mom he had put in a request for a transfer to a closer station and it was approved. He still has to leave early but he is still home every night and he and mom seem happier. So I guess it is good Calvin got robbed. Oh my God I can't believe I just wrote that.

Weeks later Susie had confessed to her mom what she had written about it being good Calvin's house was robbed and her mom explained how she was not evil or bad just rationalizing what happened.
