Martin liked Mum and Dad being nice to him so, a few days later, he started burning some clothes in my bedroom.
I suppose he thought that he could stop them from separating. He thought that if he kept lighting fires they would realize how bad he felt and maybe they would stay would stay together But they didn’t. Dad even talked about separating us. “Maybe Martin could come and live with me in Australia and Kara could stay here with you”Dad said. But Mum wanted us to stay together. So Dad left and Martin became more upset and more angry.
