Have you ever told a lie and enjoyed it, but in the end it comes back to bite you back? This happened to me in eighth grade at Kepner Middle School. That year was so chaotic for me.

Both parents have a college education, steady employment and are doing their best to raise the baby in an apartment in the city. When Loke was eight months old, my husband lost his job, putting a lot of financial stress on the family. We were more irritable when taking care of Loke and in turn, she also became more irritable.
