UNTHINKABLE

Deceit, control, and suicide?
I think it is safe to say that I didn’t have the best upbringing. My mother is a vindictive, narcissistic, and manipulative woman.
I thought I had managed to escape her wicked grasp, but after Kelsey’s sudden death, I find myself back in the middle of my dysfunctional family.
Now it is just me and Leah left to fight for ourselves. I want to make sure she is safe, but Mother is not allowing me to see her much at all. I am doing all I can, but I am worried about her.
She doesn’t deserve to suffer through the upbringing that I had when I was younger. She deserves a real chance at making a successful life for herself.
I’m especially concerned because I don’t think Kelsey committed suicide like we are being told.
Do I think my mother is involved? I wouldn’t put anything past her at this stage.
One thing is for sure. I will do whatever it takes to find out…
