Dear Sapphire Welka,

Real change doesn't happen from the top on down.

Real change happens from the grassroots level.

If you want to convince your biological mother to respect you, and recognize your right to have rights, you have to stand up against the bullying and abuse and demand that you be respected to have rights.

Don't let hypocrites deprive and disrupt you.

Don't let sociopaths discourage or undermine you.

Stand up.

Respect yourself.

Predators that prey on exploiting your silence are not going to rationally encourage and support for you to have rights to speak out about their abuses.

Your biological mother is not going to all of a sudden respect you having for so many years throughout her and your life exhibited abuse after abuse, lie after lie, threat after threat.

You have to demand it and respect yourself and break free from the tyranny.

The pain and outcries from those that have and continue to be disrespected by your family and your continued silence and relative disrespects deserve it.

You deserve to respect yourself.

You deserve to be a good, kind, respectful human being.

Sincerely,

Jason Khanlar
