NEW BEGINNING

ONE YEAR LATER

Debbie had always loved her family, but one year ago, she made a mistake that changed her life forever. She met a guy named Pablo, who seemed kind and loving at first. But little did she know, he was a drug addict and a manipulator.

Debbie started to change. She became distant from her family and started to argue with them over small things. She even started to skip school and hang out with bad company. She wanted her family's permission to openly date Pablo but they refused.

One day, Debbie packed her bags and ran away from home with Pablo. She thought she was in love with him, but she didn't know what was coming. Pablo was abusive and forced her to take drugs. She was no longer the happy and vibrant girl her family knew.

After one long year, Debbie finally realized her mistake. She couldn't take the abuse anymore and decided to come back home. She was afraid of how her family would react, but she knew she had to face them.

Debbie's mother was shocked when she saw her daughter at the doorstep. Her eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Debbie and welcomed her back. Debbie broke down in tears too, apologizing to her mother for all the pain she had caused.

As they sat down for a cup of tea, Debbie started to tell her mother all about the horrors of the past year. She told her how Pablo had abused her and forced her to take drugs, "He beats me up mama if I don't take it mama, he said our family's wealth was built on drugs and I was nothing but a Junkie's daughter."

Debbie's mother listened carefully and cried silently.

Debbie then decided to apologize to her father too. She knew he must have suffered a lot during her absence. He was hurt and angry at first, but soon he too welcomed her back with open arms.

Debbie's family decided to forgive her and help her start anew. They enrolled her in a rehab program and supported her through the struggle of breaking free from addiction.

As Debbie looked back at the past year, she realized how much she had missed out on. Her family had always been there for her, but now she realized how important they were. She had a new appreciation for life and a newfound love for her family.

Debbie knew that the journey ahead would be difficult, but she was ready to face it. With the love and support of her family, she was ready to take on the world once again.

A perfect beginning, right?
