Cross my heart and watch them die. Welcome to my dark side.

Having family doesn’t always mean you’re loved. Sometimes, it means you’re sacrificed for the ‘good of the family,’ leaving you alone, scared, and vulnerable. My family forgot about me, moving on with their lives as if I never existed. I found a way to escape the nightmare I was thrown into, and every day, I tried to find my way without guidance.

Then, the devil came back for me, leaving my daughter alone to fight new demons who threatened to drag her into the darkness. When I discovered what she endured, I did everything in my power to save her. For years, I watched her from afar, ensuring she was safe, protected, and loved.

I learned to be alone, fighting every day to carve out my place in the world and trying to forget about the painful lessons I was forced to learn. I tried my best to never cross paths with the ones who threw me away, until I discovered they had taken in the one person who meant the world to me.
Now, I must confront my past, in order to save my future and hopefully, not lose my heart or my mind, in the process.
