A little Voice Is Trying to Communicate…
This has nothing to do with you or me but if it hits your soft spot, then please do something about it.
I know of a little girl, her parents are separated, but not divorced and she lives with her dad. I can’t tell you when was the last time she saw her mom, might have been over 6 months ago, and when she did see her the last time, she couldn’t call her ‘mom’ or ‘mae’ in public, but has to be on a first name basis. Despite all of this, she is a brave little girl.
Laotian adults can be somewhat cruel, they would often ask her about her mom…When was the last time you saw your mom? Do you love your mom? Who do you love more, mom or dad? Does your mom love you? And many more, these questions were for a 5 years old little girl.
My questions to these adults are…Why did you ask? What did you expect to happen or hear? Are you happy to see her feeling sad? What satisfaction do you get by doing this?
Your attitude shapes her attitude; your words and actions can expose her to unnecessary emotional pain and suffering. These questions were mainly from people that love and care for her. She is starting school this year, it’s a jungle out there, if the ones that love her can be this cruel, imagine what she’ll be facing in the near future…
If you were her mom, wouldn’t you at least take her school shopping, or is that too much to ask?
(sorry, no comment please)
