Barbara Vhengedza From My Heart
Dear Tete
I am a 22-year-old lady facing challenges with my biological mother. I do not know what I do wrong most times and I sometimes feel that my existence does not please her. From a young age, I have tried to please her, but in vain. My two other siblings can misbehave in her presence, but they get away with it. I sometimes want to commit suicide or just runaway and never come back.
Tete Responds:
My dear, you are special and loved. You may not understand your mother’s actions towards you because you have not had an open communication relationship with her. It is sometimes believed that those who love each other the most tend to hurt each other the most. Perhaps, your mother is caught up in mixed emotions and strong desires for you. However, it is important that you find help immediately so that you erase all thoughts of suicide. Live your life hopeful and know that you have the potential to become the best.
