I Don't Trust You

“I’m out of here.”

A teen escapes a few weeks before her graduation. No longer will I be tortured by my alcoholic father’s mental and physical abuses. I’ll start a new life. I won’t make my mother’s mistake. I won’t marry a man who drinks. Then, I’ll have a loving family.

Too idealistic? Maybe not, for a person with strong willpower. Of course, she must overcome the image that she’s a vulnerable girl. How can she escape the psychological scars burned into her memory? How will she cope with the conviction that no one can be trusted? Particularly men?

She needs help. How can anyone win a sliver of her trust?
