She was so infused with rage she began to throw sticks about left and right! Screaming to the sky, tears of anger began the streak down her cheeks. Why didn’t her mom just be normal? Why couldn’t she had stay home, clean the house and make crafts with young Petra? She just wanted to have a normal upbringing but since the age of 6 she knew that would never be possible for her.
