Kristi,
Being abused has put me through a lot. It’s kind of like a major emotional rollercoaster ride but, unfortunately, the “rollercoaster” doesn’t have anymore major emotional highs. Instead it goes lower then it ever had before. I guess it had to happen. I felt so happy before… My only problems were my annoying little sister and the stress of getting good grades in school. No one’s life can be perfect, I guess. Now I am so sad and sometimes there seems to be no reason for this deep sorrow.
I feel very alone. I know that I’m not but it seems like I’m the only one going through such pain. No one can really help me. I have to get better on my own. My mother, who was my best friend, has pulled away from me. She says it’s because it hurts her to remember what she has been through. She has left me when I needed her most. I FEEL SO ALONE! You’re still with me, aren’t you Heavenly Father? Don’t give up on me yet. I love you!
Love, Melonie
