#TEAMMOLLY, I’ve been transparent with you from the beginning. I’m the only child of parents who divorced when I was 6. My father abandoned me and never had a relationship with Molly or her brothers. Yet, he and his wife are attempting to center themselves in this tragedy.
My mom loved Molly when she was younger, but became lost to mental illness/addiction 5 years ago. She was homeless for years. My mom reached out to Jon today - days after we lost our precious girl - and asked him to send her money. She tried to manipulate him during his grief.
My younger half-sister, who was abused from an early age, is addicted to meth, and has resorted to prostitution. She is facing prison time. This is my truth. In addition to losing my precious Molly, I lost most of my family a long time ago.
Maybe I’m crazy for putting this out there, but the pain of holding it in is too much to bear in addition to losing Molly. This is my truth. It’s just the beginning of my story. I hope that my openness allows you to share your own story in whatever way is right for you.
I will also add that my youngest half-sister makes me so proud. Nothing has been easy for her or given to her. She has experienced too much trauma. Yet, she remains kind, generous and intelligent. She’s 13 years younger but always shows up for me. Light prevails over darkness.
