My father left, divorcing my mother and distancing himself from me and my sisters. My mother’s hatred for me grew, and I became a servant in my own home. After high school, I moved out and started a new life, but my family never stopped demanding from me. Eventually, I pressured my mother into revealing my biological father’s name, and after tracking him down, I discovered he had wanted to be part of my life all along. Rick welcomed me into his family,

and for the first time, I felt loved and accepted. He even gave me a house, a place where I finally felt safe. But my mother and Kira, still full of resentment, tried to move in with me after being evicted. I stood my ground and forced them to leave. That was the last straw.I changed the locks, blocked their numbers, and cut them out of my life. For the first time, I felt free, knowing that I didn’t have to live under their control or manipulation anymore.
