Hey guys,
I’m going to open up here a little. When I was 9, my biological mother suddenly left me and my brother for the Carribean. Before she left, we would go back and forth between her and my dad(who remarried) but when she left we basically would stay with my dad and his wife while my biological mom would just visit every month or so while still calling on a daily basis and keeping in touch through email. For all the years since, 8 now, she’s consistently visited 5-6 times a month and she would always keep in touch. But just before my junior year, the phone calls stopped, the emails would stop showing up in my inbox, and she stopped communicating altogether. I tried to get in touch with her, but she wouldn’t respond at all. It was really devastating for me and I’ve struggled to keep up with my courseload because I’d always share how I was doing in my classes and my daily life with her. My GPA has dropped a bit and I just wonder if colleges will understand that? And do I need my counselor to write about this?
Anything helps, thanks a bunch guys.
