When Jamila was one & a half Symone came & took bet away from her grandmother & uncle. Sometimes Jamila hated her mother, she knew that was such a strong word but at times that's how she truly felt. She treated her child like trash & treated her man like a king. She blamed all her problems. Symone blamed all her problems on others never once taking responsibility for her own actions as a grown woman. She couldn't fathom the thought of seeing anyone else happy. Even worst, she was jealous of her own daughter. She was still hurting from her father's death & took her anger out on her family. Every child deserved a childhood with them just being a carefree kid. It was sad to see a child lose faith in God because of the actions of someone grown. Glad Jamila learned that she shouldn't worry about if people liked her or not. She wasn't their to impress people but people were there to impress her. I liked how even though Jason missed the first few years of Jamila's life he was still the father she needed. I loved Uncle Mikel, Jamila's well being was always his main priority. The kids in your stories are always funny. I know Granny Delilah didn't want to see her daughter behind bars but sometimes the decisions that have to be made May be the hardest thing another person would ever have to make. Jamila needed to forgive the people who had wronged her so she wouldn't have to be burdened with that load on her conscious. Walking around with so much hate on you will do nothing but hold you back.  Jamila had an amazing woman in her life to show her that forgiveness is one of the keys to happiness. & even though mama didn't raise her, she bad a supportive, loving & caring family that did. Her mother didn't raise her but she made it a mission to never have to deal with her children murmuring the words, "Mama didn't raise me."
