Your mother and father were seperated. From what you were told it was a mutual thing, but you were pretty sure it had to do with mom and the 'help' she was giving one of dads employees. You never saw the employee again and mom left with a look of shame.

After that they tries to keep you out of the proceedings. Mom decided it wasnt worth it fighting a literal crime boss over assets so all that was left to fight over was you.

They got mutual custody.

One week at your moms, some random hovel with a new guy each time. One week at your dads, getting to talk to your dad, hang out with friends, see how operations and things were going.

Your father loved you to bits, always letting you see but making sure you didn't go anywhere dangerous. Your dads employees were nice as well, all in all, you really wished you could stay at dads for longer.
