Dear Alisaur19,

First I want you to know that I care about you. I am sorry you are having such bad feelings for such a young person. You are not stuck in life. You have the power to change your life and only you have that power. Change the things you can, like fighting with your mother, just walk away if an argument starts, and let go of the things you cannot change, like other family members fighting.

I don’t know if you are still in school, but seek out a counselor. You have had a lot of trauma in your life and you need to talk those things out with someone preferable a professional. I’m not a counselor, just someone that wanted you to know that I hear you. I think you are great, wonderful, and brave for reaching out for help. Keep reaching! You are on the right path!
