But things just felt weird. It felt so tense and literally the day after spending two weeks

with them the day before me and my husband leave to go back to America my mom takes me aside

into the backyard and I can tell she's really upset and she starts like being very emotional

I'm like what is going on and she tells me that like a couple weeks before I came,

her and dad got into this fight and like he pushed her and hit her. And she had told her not to tell

anyone at their therapy because other people were there that were involved with other churches

and everyone would know.

And so she wasn't supposed to tell anyone.

And she didn't feel right about it, but she felt like God told her to just do it anyway.

And so she did.

And I was like, no, mom, what do you?

And she was like, I don't know.

And told me that she was having visions and that she had this vision of social workers coming to take my brother away and that she was scared that things weren't changing and that people were going to know and that my brother was going to be taken away from us.

And I remember just crying and saying like, mom, give him to me.
