Write to Mika.

Issue: Family (*Abuse)

What’s going on? My mother has emotional and physical abused me. She's beaten me, abandoned me to relatives and told me not to tell anyone if I kill myself. I've tried very hard to repair our relationship but this year, she told me she cannot be a mother to me & blocked me on Facebook. This was my first Christmas without my mother, father, and sister. I'm going to therapy but there's this empty feeling that I'm not sure I can replace. Christmas is my favorite holiday, not because of the presents, but because it's the only time my family feels complete.

What do you love most about this girl? I love that she never strayed from the path of forgiveness, kindness, and empathy. Despite being neglected and abandoned, she still has a lot of love to give to the world.

P.S. I also walk hand in hand with God. I pray that my strength will carry me through this lifetime.
