@capridillon thank you for your prayers, I humbly welcome them. When I wrote my book about 8 years ago, I did not know that the person who I thought it was my father was a actually the man who bought my mother out of the sex ring.
My mother was with him until I turned 4, then went back to Mexico, where she puked not take care of me. Then brought me yo my grandparents snd left me there for a year, then brought me back to Acuna, Coahuila, Mx and left me with a lady that took care of me. I was 7. My mother came back 2 years later and did know it was my mother… I asked her yo take me with her because I told her : “ they go not love me here, they best me daily.” She slapped me and told me that I was an ingrate and that there was no other better place for me. She left the next day and I saw her when I ran away at 13 years old. Child support agencies got involved snd dud had to go get me. I was angry with her and ended up by myself, she left. Too much to explain 😊
For 2 years I went from home to home and when I was 15 I ended up in a catholic boarding school and 6 months later I was notified that my mother was dying of cancer. I went to see her before she died. I left the boarding school at 18th and went on my own again. Yet, alone was hard and at 21 came yo the states met the father of my children, marry and divorced 15 years ago.
Yes, it has been very challenging. Yet, so how here I am still going 😊

@jonathanray7931 I thank you for your reply and you are probably right that I do not have hope this situation will ever change because this behavior of slaving others for personal gain is very very old... How far back you will like to go.
I paused and thought about your comment and I found this on Quora from Bijoy Padmanabhan:
"The difference between trust and belief can be explained by an illustration.
There was once a tight rope walker Blondin who could perform death defying feats without support or life saving equipment. Crowds gathered to watch his feats. He would walk across Niagara falls over the tight rope. In an event, He performed the daring stunt and also took a wheel barrow over the tight rope. He asked the audience ' Do you believe that I can take the wheel barrow over the tight rope'. Every one in the audience believed and cheered him. He said 'In case you believe I can do it, who will sit on the wheel barrow'. There were no volunteers.
Here we see that every one had a firm belief that he could carry the wheel barrow successfully over the tight rope. But no one wanted to volunteer to sit in the wheel barrow and trust him with their life. Here you see the difference between belief and trust. You have a belief that Blondin will do it successfully but you don’t want to trust him with your life.
Similarly in terms of hope, it is a positive emotion. We expect a positive outcome. If I were part of Blondin 's audience , at the beginning of every stunt, I will hope that he performs the stunt successfully. I will hope that there is no mishap due to any unknown weather condition. Hope is all about expectations about a positive result.
Faith is a complete confidence in something. To form such a high level of confidence, Faith may not require a proof. We may have faith in God or our religion. There is a classic tale of a village suffering from drought and famine. Every one put their faith in prayer and decided to pray to god for rain. The example of faith was a small boy who came to the prayer with an umbrella. He had total faith that his prayers would be answered and he would need the umbrella for the rains that would come as a result of their prayers.
In our regular language, we interchangeably use the above terms but the context of each term is different."
I personally think I have no hope, nor faith. I simply do my part each day. What do I do first? whatever is in front of me, Who do I love first? whoever is in front of me. I have no hope in someone stopping this people sequestering others for their personal gain, nor hope they will stop, or hope this world will be a perfect place for everyone. I just KNOW what is the proper thing to do: If you see someone who needs a coat, take yours and give it to him. If I see someone in need I help, If I see someone that is asking for money, I give what I have in my wallet, If someone needs a bed and I have 3, I give them one.
Life is lived today and moment by moment. Hope and faith are in the future, a future that may never come. Day by day we weave our life. I trust in a benevolent universe because I am the proof of that - thanks to strangers willing to help, I have been able to survive the strong current of life. There is no good or bad, we make it so. For many years I thought my mother did not loved me because she abandoned me and left me in a place where I was beaten on a daily basis and denied any comfort or kind word, yet I look back and wonder: was her decision the best at the time? I will never know....
