Radio Episode 86: Forsaken: When everyone abandons you - a podcast by Teen Girl Talk with Esther & Steph

"A month after I had turned 15, my mother left for the United States in pursuit of a 21 year old man she met online; leaving behind myself, my brother, and sister to fend for ourselves with my grandmother. I’ve lived with my grandmother my whole life, but she’s always been old and frail; incapable of taking care of 3 young children. We all waited, eagerly anticipating my mother’s return after 3 months when her traveling visa would expire and we’d get to see her again.

However, when she did return, it wasn’t to the happy family reunion I had expected. She loved being in America, and she loved being with him. She hadn’t even stayed two weeks before she was on a plane again returning to see him. We asked her to stay and she promised she would be back again after another 3 months. They got married on the eve of her 3 month expiration date and she gained permanent residency in the USA as a result of her marriage. It’s been 6 years and I haven’t seen her since.

Psalm 27:10

Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.
