Chosen – A Child of Abuse
Sixteen-year-old Justine lives with her father, mother, and younger siblings. Money is tight for the family, and getting food to eat on most days is challenging. Additionally, her mother expresses her frustration with her living conditions by abusing Justine and her siblings.
However, one day, after losing her baby, Justine walked away from her home to live with her grandfather, who lived close to her family home. While living there, she learned more about her mother, met a new friend and found the courage to break up with her boyfriend. There, Justine also met her Saviour.
My boyfriend and I did not end things between us when he left for Canada about five years ago, but he stopped texting me. He’s back now, though and technically, he’s still my boyfriend, right?
