Appreciate your parents. This is very important. I will tell you why you need to do this. My mother, gave up on me. She didn't believe I could change and that I had. I made bad decisions in the past. She gave up on me. She didn't want to deal with me anymore. I remember the times she gave a me a bloody nose or yanked me by my head of hair when we got into a fight. Did she think this could help? She sent me off and I am now in foster care. When I tried to call and talk to her, she would always try to start a fight. It would get tot he point that I would have to put the phone on speaker. She would manipulate me and talk down to me. She said that if I loved her, I wouldn't have gone into foster care, but she is the one that gave up on me. This is one scenario. I could speak ofr much more, but it is too much for me. You guys need to undertsand that we all have it better off than someone else, and I want you to take this seriously. Ap-preciate your parents.
