Nearly 20 years later, I still think about that day.
I still feel angry when I think about those kids and their ruthless parents who ruined my day.
But then I remember those simple words of encouragement from my classmate’s mother, and I smile again.
Her unexpected act of kindness taught me that a little compassion can transform someone’s day—and sometimes their whole life.
When I asked my dad and stepmom who my biological mom was, they reluctantly revealed she was “sick.”
I didn’t understand and asked why she didn’t want me if she was just sick, and after some reluctance, I was told that she was schizophrenic, or in their words at the time, “crazy.”
I grew up fearing I’d end up like her. © BaneofKaidou / Reddit
