Left to Drown: My Mother Pushed Me Off the Rescue Boat

During the category 4 hurricane evacuation, my mother completely ignored my broken leg.

She pushed me off the rescue boat with her own hands, forcing me to give up my spot for my sister.

"Mom, my leg is broken. I want to go with you..."

"Stop being so dramatic!"

"You’re the older one. You should let Chloe go first!"

"You're a grown girl, why are you being so selfish? Do you really have to fight with Chloe at a time like this?"

I never showed up at the shelter. When others urged her to call me, she just sneered.

"She's just throwing a tantrum to make me worry!"
