Dear diary,
I love my dad, but he is a real piece of work I guess you could say. You see he sunk this casino boat because he thought the owner of the boat was doing something illegal, such as dumping all the waste from the boat into the ocean water. Noah is trying to help him but I don't think it is working. I am a little scared because I have heard mom mention the "d" word...divorce more than once. I think my dad has taken it to far. And to make matters worse, my dad has escaped from jail and is now "house arrested" which means he can't leave the house and if he does he will get in a load of trouble. Sometimes I wonder are mom and dad really going to get a divorce? Is Noah going to take some life risking challenges just to help dad? Is dad the reason our family is falling apart? I don't know the answer to any of these questions. I just wish dad would get his act together so mom and him won't break up. I realize that my dad is trying to do the right thing but I don't know if his plan is working. Even I have tried to help him but it didn't turn out to well. Noah and I went out at midnight to try and catch Dusty (the owner of the polluting boat) in the act. Sadly when we got there we didn't see him do anything but legally use the sewage. I have a feeling this is all a big fat lie. I hope we find out the truth. Everyone thinks my family is weird because my dad was in jail. I say we should move to Canada to get away from all the humiliation dad has caused us, but everyone else in the family is against it. What should i do?

Sincerely,
Abbey
