Through Sara's Eyes

Sara, a young girl living with her mother in a small town, experienced significant abuse and neglect from her stepfather. She began to question her biological father, leading to her becoming quieter and more suicidal. Her mother kept this secret for years, believing she wasn't ready to learn. When Sara discovered her biological father was incarcerated, she was shocked and left her family alone. As she grew older, she felt like a burden to her family and avoided social situations. She tried suicide, but her mother never seemed to listen to her concerns. She returned to the mental hospital, feeling disheartened by her questions and feeling like she wasn't required in life.

One night, Sara reflected on her feelings of being a burden and decided to run away from her troubles. She walked out of her bedroom, leaving her mother's house, and found a swing set, slide, and sandbox in the backyard. She realized that she had no choice but to be born into this world and stop asking questions. Sara's story highlights the challenges faced by those who struggle with their pasts and the importance of understanding and accepting one's identity.
