Sindy often felt alone growing up, especially during middle school. Her parents missed big moments like her birthdays and soccer games. Her parents would only point out all the mistakes she made, never looking at all the great things she did. This made Sindy feel sad and alone, like they didn’t really see her.
In high school, not much changed, unfortunately enough. Sindy’s grades went down, and her parents were not happy about it. Other kids’ parents cheered them on, but Sindy’s parents were different. They weren’t around much, and Sindy felt the silence—a silence full of secrets and loneliness.
