Summary
Manipulative boyfriend.
Shorina was only 14 when she left home to move in with her first boyfriend who was over 18. This older boy was manipulative and tried to isolate Shorina, telling her that nobody else cared and if she left him she would be completely alone. Shorina didn't even believe her mom cared, even though her poor mom was beside herself with worry. Shorina ended up very alone, self harming and suicidal and went through some very dark times. But Shorina moved on from those experiences and has been able to turn her life around in the most amazing ways and now helps others to do the same.
You can find Shorina on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mindfulsoulcollective. Her website https://www.mindfulsoulcollective.com/
