    This story is a heartfelt adaptation of an original video from MSA (My Story Animated), centered on betrayal, resilience, and the meaning of true family. Follow Camilia's journey as she faces the cruelty of her parents and sibling, only to find strength and support from those who truly care for her. As she breaks free from her toxic past, she discovers that family is about more than just blood-it's about love and loyalty. I've taken inspiration from MSA's powerful narrative and brought it to life in written form. I hope this adaptation does justice to the emotional depth of the original story, and that it leaves you just as moved as I was when I first watched it.

Dr. Jennifer Cox offers a tale of love, grief, and finding meaning, and purpose in a past of perpetual heartache and struggle.

Robert is an appliance repairman in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and the father of three children. He has struggled with Bipolar Disorder for many years, but has continued to essentially function as provider, father, and partner to Jan. That is until one day, in a psychotic state, he drives his truck into the front of the family home because "he just forgot to stop."

    Without pretending to be excessively religious, sprinkling verses throughout every part of my life's story, I reminisce about my past with newfound spiritual clarity, seeing the profound teachings of Jesus in a new light. His words about planting seeds and trusting in their growth resonate deeply with me-a reminder that wisdom unfolds in God's perfect timing, not by my design. Throughout the chapters of my life, I've walked in many shoes, but the enduring story of Joseph-the son of Israel-continues to inspire me. From the pit to prominence, his journey is one I find endlessly fascinating. I won't ask you to suspend judgment, but I do hope my journey might inspire you, rooted in my unwavering belief in God, a faith cultivated since my upbringing. Occasionally, I might surprise you with a sudden revelation, like, "I dreamt about you." As for my superstitions, they're mostly urban-like the brief worry when a black cat crosses my path or the fleeting sense of good fortune when I spot a morning squirrel. If those signs truly predicted wealth, I'd be rolling in riches by now! But then again, who's to say I haven't always been lucky? Even the hoot of an owl in the dark makes me stop and think, reminding me that life is full of unexpected moments. I don't write my stories out of revenge. They're not about proving anyone right or wrong. Instead, I invite you to experience my reality with me. Just as Mary once pondered, "BE IT UNTO ME," I share these narratives with the hope of planting seeds for reflection and growth.
