26th May 2011 by MORE

Recently, my mum, my grandparents and my aunt have been at court. See, my mum is violent and scary a lot. But being me, I've never told anyone apart from my family because they already knew.

So at court, we (my grandparents, my aunt, my sister and I) tried for a DVO (Domestic Violence Order) against my mum. That was nine weeks ago. I haven't seen mum since.

My life is easier, in some ways, but challenging in others. When the time came for the DVO to be seen by the judge, mum said that grandma hadn't let my sister and I see her!! So our lawyer told the judge that she was lying and that we were not living with her and had nothing to do with her.

But mum insisted. Man I'm so over her! But through all this, I turned away from God. I thought it was his fault. But this weekend, at Smash, I turned back, because I was scared of being without God; because he's soo important to me. Thanks for reading ...
