Misguided

I was born into a middle class family. My parents divorced and then the both remarried. I stayed with my mother then she married a business man and was very rich and he supported our family. To the other people our family seemed happy. My mum started to go to the pub nightclub and restaurant with her friends she stopped caring about me. I was happy to always go with her.

Then I went to study in high school. I spent my times with friends. My mother let me share an apartment with my friend. She was worried her husband would become attracted to me. I felt sad because I wanted to feel close to my mother. Then living with my friend my life became very happy. We would go together to the night club and restaurant karaoke and caf้ every night. I loved to play games and meet boys on the internet. Eventually I had a boyfriend and we began living together and he supported me. My life was good then my friend introduced me to drugs and my education began to suffer.

I cheated my mum and boyfriend for money for drugs. They loved me but they were angry with me. They refused to give me money because they knew I would buy drugs. I would beg and do anything for money just to buy drugs. I went back to my mum I hope she would forgive me but she couldn’t. I went to see my dad and begged him to help me but he refused. I wanted to stop taking drugs but I couldn’t

I wanted to die I felt life had no meaning for me. I tried to commit suicide but I survived. I went to the temple to become a nun for three month I thought this would help me stop taking drugs, but I still could not stop I drunk alcohol and stole the money for drugs then the abbot told me leave the temple. That was when my mother took me to the hospital for treatment. In the hospital I felt I was in hell. Everyday for fifteen minutes I was given electric shocks this lasted for three months and was very painful for me.

Finally my mum took me to Ban Nimitmai. When I arrived everybody was very friendly to me. We get up early everyday to worship and work in the garden. We clean our home and play music. We worship and pray to the Lord everyday. Now I have a happy life in this place. Ban Nimitmai the place of love I will stay here and serve the Lord who has shown me affection. Praise the Lord I wish my mother would believe in Jesus likes me.

Comment:

Ban Nimitmai is a house for to cure the addict without use medicine. We trust in Jesus and believed in loves of Jesus fill them up. To change to heal and to build them become a new life.
