1) What did you read about today? Be specific.
1) I read two stories today. The first was called My son is repeating my mistakes. When Blaze's mom was young she had a horrible life. She lived with an alcoholic and abusive mother which caused her to runaway, She lived on the streets for years and later wanted a family and a husband. So she left her university in order to get married. She got married and had children. Her oldest was Blaze and she loved him a lot she gave him everything. However Blaze wasn't happy because of little things and one day he ran away. His mother immediately started panicking and dialed several stations and care centers to find her son. They knew where he was but didn't want to tell her. She started doubting herself and became depressed. Years went on and she asked help from other teens who went through a similar problem. The other story I read was called Supporting my sister's decision to leave. Carl's family was polygamy, forcing marriage. Carl had 4 daughters and a wife. He was married and was happy until he heard about her sister's runaway because she was scared of marriage. Carl understood what she was going through but he didn't want her running away like that. Documents came in and out supporting Carl's sister but nothing much was found. The two of them had to later face their parents in court because of the federal laws. The case of her sister was still unsolved.
