My mom has a friend, who has been her best friend since middle school. My mom's friend's daughter, my god-sister (My mom is her god mother, and her mom is mine) grew up with me. I've known her all her life, and she's like a sister or a cousin. They live in a different state, so I don't see her very often, and calls can be a little difficult because of the time difference.
She's threatened suicide twice now... And she's been cutting herself. I just found out today. On the phone, and even in person, when I talked to her on her birthday yesterday, she sounded as if nothing was wrong. She is extremely good at hiding her true feelings. I am so... I really can't explain it. I just really don't know what to do. I can't really do anything, except pray, but then I have no words to pray. I am so scared. Does she not know how beautiful and precious she is? If I were to tell her that, she wouldn't believe me.
She lives in a trouble home, you might say, and is extremely angry at her parents. Her step-dad is verbally abusive, to both my god-mother and my god-sister. I want so badly to be able to do something, anything, to help her, but I have no way to help. I just wish she could come live with us, in a non-stressful environment, away from her step-dad and mom, and away from everything that is wrecking her life. I just wish that the step-dad wasn't there, that these little girls (My god-sister's little sisters. She's got three younger sisters) don't grow up thinking that that's what's normal.
I am just so... blown away, and not in the good way.
I am praying for them, god bless you and your actions
