Dear Daniel:

You mentioned 17 years of fear of being deported. But when you got your citizenship last year, no longer in risk of being deported, you tried to kill yourself, at the beginning of this year.

There was fear before the fear of deportation, the fear of witnessing the tumultuous relationship between your parents before moving to the US, before you were ten. And then, after the move, there you were with your mother who was “an emotional wreck, and left me some inner scars that affect me to this day”- she injured you, that is why there are scars now. These were wounds.

What did she do to you?

Hi Daniel.  Life can be very difficult at times.  Some, more difficult than others.  It appears to me that you are stinger than you give yourself credit for.  You have endured a lot, but yet you still STAND.  You made it through with your inner strength although it was tough.  That is something you should truly be proud of yourself of.  You are knocking down obstacles but not realizing it Daniel.
