We recently read a story that is deeply disturbing yet very inspiring at the same time. It’s the story of a young woman who suffered greatly in her childhood but was able to turn her life around through the kindness of one stranger. 

When she was just a little girl, her parents split, and the pain of her broken family led her down a dark path at a very young age. Both her mother and father had issues with addiction and substance abuse, and she fell into that from a very young age.

“I was just falling into a cycle that my family has always been in,” she explains.

Her mother often had short flings with random guys who were usually really creepy. She had to adjust to this as a kid, believing that because of her mother’s addiction, she didn’t consider the dangerous consequences of keeping those kinds of men around her kid. 

As a teenager, she started getting into trouble with the law. She had been arrested a handful of times by the time she was 15-years-old. One night, she stumbled home drunk, and her mom had been waiting up for her with her boyfriend. 

“This was the moment I realized I needed a change,” she says. 

Her mother’s boyfriend suddenly pushed her down to the ground before dragging her into another room and locking the door. She could hear her mom on the other side begging him to let her go. 

With a sinister grin, he told her, “I’m about to show you why it’s bad to let your mom worry about you.”

Then, he attempted to beat her, but she fought back as hard as she could. At some point, she scratched his face, making him really angry. Thankfully, her mother had called the police before he could do anything worse to her.

When the police arrived, one of the officers was a man who she saw most times she got in trouble. He was in his 60s and often lectured her about her bad behavior.

That night, he was there for her and took down her story. Both her mother and her boyfriend were taken into custody. The cop then told her something that changed her life for the better. 

“I’m really sorry about all of this. I’m sorry, but you’re not going home,” he told her. “It’s time for you to change. Do you want to end up like her, or do you want to be somebody?” 

She knew then and there that she wanted to be somebody and break the vicious cycle that her parents had put her in.

So she was placed into foster care, which she says was difficult but much needed in the end. She remained friends with that police officer until the day he died and went to him whenever she needed help. Because of him, she has been a working corrections officer for two years. 

Her mother got better and has been sober for the last 10 years. She met a great guy and remarried. 

If it wasn’t for the help and wisdom of that police officer, who knows where these two women would be today?
