MOM AM STRUGGLING,BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND MY PAIN.
A
mother passing by her daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed
was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope
propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed,
"Mom." With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the
letter with trembling hands:
Dear Mom,
It is with great regret
and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new boyfriend
because I wanted to avoid a scene with dad and you. I've been finding
real passion with Ahmed and he is so nice-even with all his piercings,
tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the
passion Mom, I'm pregnant and Ahmed said that we will be very happy. He
already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the
whole winter. He wants to have many more children with me and that's now
one of my dreams too. Ahmed taught me that marijuana doesn't really
hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with his
friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll
pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Ahmed can get better; he
sure deserves it!! Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how
to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you
can get to know your grandchildren.
Your daughter, Judith
PS:
Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report
card that's in my desk center drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe
for me to come home
