I want to tell you about my child. My name is Rositza and I’m 43 years old. I have a daughter who is 17 years old. I brought up her alone because her father left me when the child was very young. I can’t say he didn’t take care of her but it is not enough to just pay the support money and to not care about the child anymore.
I had no problems with Lily while she was a little girl. She was a quiet child; she always had good marks at school. She has never been fastidious about clothes or something like that and she has been satisfied with the things I could provide her.
People say “Small children – small problems, big children – big problems”. My mother repeated this saying many times but I never believed it was true. Not until I faced the teenage problems. What happened next was a disaster. And I can call it a national disaster because I’m sure that many parents of teenagers have problems similar to mine.
I walked through hell with Lily. She started coming home late, missing school and even escaping from our home. She even made an abortion. Thanks God, at least I know she didn’t use drugs. There was a moment when she settled down. The problem was that she refused to go to school. We visited psychiatrists together, I talked to her teachers but there was no result. I asked her why she was doing it but she never talked. I found the reason by chance. I read her correspondence with a friend of hers in the Skype and I found out that her classmates were bulling her. However, I couldn’t prove it even though I talked to her head teacher and she had partly confirmed what I had read. I knew that nothing would change if I talk to her or make her visit psychologists again. I called a friend of mine who recently told me she had coped with his husband’s alcoholism. I asked her what she had done and she told me to write to the imam. I must admit that I had never done something with such confidence before. I was sure this was the light in the tunnel while I was writing the letter. I wrote to the imam, explained him everything and I told him my daughter shouldn’t know I was trying to help her. Berkant sent me an amulet that Lily had to wear for certain period of time. I ordered an amulet and paid it, and persuaded my daughter to wear it. At the beginning I used to go to her school secretly to see if her classmates would bully her again but no such thing happened.
Now Lily goes to school and she is much more untroubled and calm. She even visits the consultations of her teachers after the classes. Her marks became better. She doesn’t yell at me when we talk. We even go out together and we haven’t done that for a long time.
I never thought happiness and calmness are so cheap. But it is a fact that our life has settled down.
You should write to Berkant if you have any problems. I’m sure he will help you and I can prove it.
I hope you have the strength to do it because when even the simple things seem difficult when one is in the dead-lock.
Respectfully yours: Rositza Georgieva
