It didn't take long for Alex's true intentions to be revealed. He began to manipulate my mother, trying to turn her against me. He'd tell her that I was saying bad things about her, or that I was somehow plotting against her. It was a classic tactic, but one that my mother wasn't expecting.
But the final straw came when Alex approached my mother directly. He started to flatter her, telling her what a great person she was, and how he admired her strength. At first, my mother was taken aback by his sudden interest, but I could see the warning signs. Alex was up to no good.
For those who may not know, my mother, Yuna, is an incredible person. She's kind, caring, and always puts the needs of others before her own. She's the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it, and I feel incredibly lucky to have her in my life. So, when Alex began to target her, I knew I had to take action.
It's also crucial to remember that you're not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help. Don't be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or a counselor for support.
