Tori’s life was upended when her parents abandoned her and her two younger brothers. At just 15, she was left to fend for them, only to be separated and placed in the foster system. Years later, after enduring loneliness and hardship, Tori rebuilt her life, working odd jobs and eventually earning a degree.
One day, just as her life seemed stable, her parents showed up at her door, asking to stay with her. Tori confronted them, reminding them of their abandonment. She handed her father a ten-dollar bill he had once given her and told them to leave, reclaiming her power and closing that painful chapter.
As they left, Tori felt a sense of freedom. Her past no longer defined her—she was stronger, self-reliant, and ready for whatever came next.
