Ever since I was younger, being a mom has been a dream of mine. I was determined to make my dreams a reality, with or without a man. When I signed up for foster care, I didn't expect much because of the numerous requirements.
However, everything changed when my caseworker dropped off four teenage girls who turned my life upside down in both wonderful and challenging ways.

"Hey. Hey. Calm down," It broke my heart to see my girls like this. "I-I-I don't want to leave," Lyric stated through her sobs. I looked at Jazlyn and saw that she was silently crying in the corner. I immediately brought her into my arms.
"If you girls think I'm going to let that hoe take you from me without a fight, you're crazy. Everything is going to be okay," I reassured them and myself.
I have to do all I can. I can't imagine my life without these girls.

Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. β’β’β’β’β’β’β’β’β’β’β’ β Warnings β οΈ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionComplete
