Getting Justice For our daughter

The birthday princess

Francesca's: POV
I was sitting in the one of the small conference rooms. Watching mama set up, the table mommy is somewhere around here doing something. My nana Sharon was sitting next to me talking to me about how I feel to be ten years old, l didn't feel much different from being nine
The only difference is a little more wiser than most people l know. Mommy walks back in with grandfather and my brother Brandon
Who's looking around the room instead at me. I wheeled my chair over towards him, happy birthday princess he says to me, thank you papa. Then papa hands me two huge gift bags, hi Brandon I said to him
Hey Francesca happy birthday Brandon tells me, thanks for coming
Francesca States politely. Francesca can you please come over for a moment, mommy calls me over
I wheeled myself over towards her
Her and mama were lighting the candles on my birthday cake and then the rest of the family came over and begin singing happy birthday to me
I closed my eyes and made a wish and blew out the candles. Mama started cutting the cake while scoops out the ice cream and puts on the plate, l slowly began eating my large slice of cake. Mama ordered pizza for lunch
She got my favorite veggie lovers
There were drinks and presents on the table, l can't believe there were so many gifts. There must have been fourteen different size bags, Brandon kept watching me from across the room. It was making me feel a little uncomfortable, it was the same way sir use to look at me when he was getting ready to hit me. I keep telling myself l'm safe and around my family
That didn't stop the thoughts that were running through my mind,
I didn't want to draw attention myself so I played it cool but mommy could tell something was wrong by the expression on my face. Baby what's wrong aren't you enjoying your special day, mommy asks me
Mommy l don't wanna hurt Brandon's feelings. Can you tell him to stop staring at me, it's freaking me out
Francesca said. I'm sure he doesn't mean to sweet girl, l screamed at the top of my lungs telling mommy I don't like people looking at me. She's trying to get me to calm down some, then mama comes over to see what's going on. Mommy excuse herself and pulled mama to the side and explained to her, what was going on with me
I think Francesca is triggered by Brandon staring at her Lena Stated
How love l don't understand what he did was so wrong Stef replied.
Maybe it was the way he was looking at me. Remember what Dr. Matthews was saying Francesca can have mini
PTSD triggers out of the blue at times
Lena explains, look l understand all that. But honey he's her brother
I'm not going to ask him to leave everytime Francesca has a meltdown
I know today is her birthday and she'll just have to cope with it Stef says to her wife. Lena couldn't get over the way Stef was not taking Francesca's feelings into consideration, Lena didn't want to caused a scene so she went back inside the room to check up on Francesca. Sharon was talking to her
She seems a little more at ease
