No, no, please don't go, mommy please, mom... no!" I reach for her hand but she just looks at me, my dad sitting on the couch while my mom drags her bags into her car, my dad looking unbothered as ever. I call for my mother but she slowly starts fading, first her hands, then her legs "mommy no!" And before I know it, she's gone.

$Faithe {REWRITING} ✓ by gracefulgreene_$

#4 in tas #1 in Abeokuta Dedicated to all Africans who are depressed and suffer PTSD. How exactly do you explain to an African parent that you need help? Do Africans even care about the state of their mental health? How do I tell others how I feel or about my nightmares without them thinking I'm mentally unstable? Everywhere, "seek help." How exactly? All these questions bother me so much that they give me problems. Even if he agrees that I need help, everyone would see me as a psychiatric patient, as the mentally unstable girl. "I keep blaming myself for all that has happened. I mean, how could I not have seen it coming? She was practically my best friend and close to me. If only I had opened my eyes wide enough and looked closer, I would have known and probably done something. We had a fight, we didn't settle it. Before I knew it, she was gone. It upsets me more. This has been haunting me for over a year. Can I ever be normal?" #39 in stereotype #62 in insomnia #82 in singleparent #568 in nightmares #72 in African #2 in tcs #16 in secondaryschool #111 in Nigerian #28 in Yoruba #7 in middleclass On 19 September, 2020

She would persevere by SaarJT

How would you feel when the world you grew up in crashed and burned? What if you were tossed into one that was all about survival? Would you persevere? Or would you crumble? Follow Adelaide when she tries to make sense of what her world has become. What would happen if she was tossed back into the world that broke her? Her world that consisted of her family, her brothers, her sister. Would she forgive and forget? Will she persevere or will she crack? Welcome to my first ever book, please give it a try. I post minimum twice a week! I will try to say it won't be as cliche as your standard family story.

Foster Care [COMPLETE] by Disa_Laring

[COMPLETE] I looked at my mom's blue eyes. They held love. Her kind of love. Empty yet full of all her emotions at the same time. It was hard to explain. While her face remained calm, her eyes screamed of fear, joy, anger, love, sadness, pleasure and hatred. She didn't flinch. The traces of emotion rested within her blue irises and her black pupils. Those were the parts that held her screaming soul. Her raging spirit. Her crying mind. A child who had to grow into a woman she did not want to be. She raised the gun toward me. Warning. This story contains: - Abuse - Drug abuse - Violence - Kidnapping - Rape - Explicit descriptions

Before the sleep by Winchesters_united

Mommy is sleeping. Our time together is ticking away. We don't know whether or not she's going to wake up so we have to make the best out of what can possibly be our last instances together. This could very well be her last tribute, our last chance to walk down memory lane. Therefore, mommy and daddy are coming together to teach me the greatest lesson in life - love conquers all. As an interracial couple from opposite sides of the track, I'm sure they had to overcome more than the average couple usually do. This is their story. This is their love on paper. Ride along with me as I get to know what happened before the big sleep from my cocoon in her belly.

Staring At The Clouds by JaeH475

**MATURE** ⚠️🔞 "Fuck me" I told him bluntly, his hands falling on my arms only to tightened. "What?" He asked and I leaned against the island. "You heard me" I told him. "I..."

Finding Myself ✓ by sihle0071

[COMPLETELY EDITED AND FINISHED.] "Being abused your whole life isn't nice. Being told that you are not worthy and being punished for all the little mistakes is not nice. I have never had a normal childhood, that includes my siblings. I think if a person asks me the definition of normal I won't know but i think im slowly learning what it is." Join a girl as she navigates her way through her last year of highschool, dealing with abuse while she tries to find herself in the midst of everything. Will she be able to overcome the obstacles that come her way or would she crumble and give up on life. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO ABUSE, DEPRESSION, SUICIDE, RAPE AND MATURE LANGUAGE AND LESBIAN FICTION. ☆All names, characters and places are fictious. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Hope you read and enjoy the book. Started: 8 January 2023. Finished: 3 October 2023. Edited: 8 January 2024 (but you may come across some spelling errors. Sorry about that.)
