This Is Her Story

My daughter has had her share of frustration and anger. She is a beautiful young lady and will forever be that way. As a biracial teen who came out a few years ago, she thought since the world is changing maybe just maybe she will be accepted. This was far from the truth. There are really some very cruel people out there who believe she is wrong for even existing. This couple continuously harasses her and tells her she does not belong here she needs to "go bye bye". My daughter had a beautiful light in her until this began to happen. This continuance has disturbed her way of life. Recently she decided that she did not want to live any longer. She walked towards the street and started she wanted to die since that couple said so. I was terrified thinking please God help me get her away from this road. Please help me talk her down. Lord don't take my baby please. Thankfully I was able to talk her down and she agreed to go talk to her school guidance counselor. She did not want to go anywhere else so that is where I took her. Her guidance counselor was a le to talk her into seeking more help. She was placed in a Mental health facility where she received therapy and was given coping skills to be able to handle her bullies. She is home but she is still struggling we are getting in-home therapy to help with her everyday struggles. This is far from over I know that my daughter will always struggle with this and that it takes one day at a time. I will always be there for her and she knows that a time she needs me I got her whole family has got her. My daughter is a survivor and that is a great thing. There will always be a dark place but together we can help everyone get through that dark place and see the beautiful light in each and every single one of us including g those who have a huge bias against st someone that is not the same race or religion as themselves. As my beautiful daughter has always said we are an Ohana. Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. So to those out there who struggle with a loved one who is struggling themselves just remember. OHANA.
