Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear about your rough past. It must've been very difficult given your young age. It is very fortunate that you met good people and ultimately reunited with your sisters.

Having been through a lot, it's natural to experience PTSD. You're more than welcome to PM me if you'd like to chat. Are you seeking any professional therapy? That's very important for your mental health.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi Mallika!

Thank you for welcoming me.

Though I've had a rough life, it's in the past so I'm not wanting a pity party, but I appreciate your concern like everyone who have posted here.

On my arrival to Monaco I was introduced to a woman who was acting my sisters' foster mum. She and I did not get on. She smoked in our presence. Julie who has severe asmtha, suffered from the smoke. When I asked this woman to go outside for Julie's sake, I was told to mind my own effing business. She also drank a lot. We all enjoy a glass of wine with our meals, but she went through a whole bottle or a bunch of cocktails. She got smashed. And, smoked pot.

That made me angry, also worried since having an alcoholic father and what he was like. I threw her cigs outside and then, she made the mistake of smacking me and hard. She also punched me.

Violence is a trigger because of my father.

Wendi pulled us apart, but it was too late because I hurt the woman. There was no way I was going to let her smack me ever. Memories of my father were enough.

The woman left after we had a yacht vacation. She was a well known model - no names - and she returned to Paris.

Though I got angry and fought, I don't harbour anger. I mean, I don't have tantrums or feel anger and grudge. I fight to preserve myself, protect Julie. After my fight I went to my bedroom and cried.

My sisters came and hugged me. That was the first time I let anyone see me cry, except for a boy I looked after when he was bullied at The Hole.

So to answer your question, "will I seek professional therapy?" Yes! I've been seeing a nice woman who is giving me guidance. It was arranged by Wendi. It's ongoing. I expect this therapy to continue for a long time.

Living in Monaco is a far different experience than anywhere else in the world. Huge yachts, expensive everything but Monaco is a tax haven, so no income tax, no taxes except VAT. But wealth means nothing to me (although some things like beautiful pens and nice clothes please me), what means the most, to me, is Family.
