I felt this so deeply. It's heartbreaking when the people who are supposed to be your biggest supporters go silent when you finally succeed
This hit like a memoir you didn’t know you needed to hear. The way Charlotte held herself together while building her own path—it’s both heartbreaking and inspiring. Anyone else feel like they saw parts of themselves in her story?
“I just wanted to be seen.” That line shattered me 💔. How many of us grow up craving love that should have been unconditional?
I really wish she had brought her grandmother to the award ceremony in Chicago. That would have meant so much. Her strength is truly inspiring!
The feeling of being overlooked and emotionally abandoned by your own family is one of the deepest wounds anyone can experience. But the fact that you still pushed through and achieved so much on your own is nothing short of inspiring. Don’t ever let their silence or coldness diminish your worth. You deserve love, pride, and recognition—never forget that. 💔🔥👏
You handled this with so much strength and class. Bravo! 👏
Beautiful story! She should have invited her grandmother to the Chicago award event. That would have been so validating. Loved her resilience!!!
Seeing her talk about the ballet costumes at 1:00 — total 90s flashback! My sister and I went through something similar. Hand-me-downs were the norm, and I always felt like I was playing second fiddle. This video really resonated; it's amazing how some things never change, even across generations.
It’s amazing how a simple video can carry so much meaning. Thank you for using your voice to tell stories that matter.
This really hits home for me.always invisible unless someone needed something or someone to blame
There was never a possibility that her parents would ever be there for her. The parents never helped nor would have because all their efforts were for Caroline. After she succeeded, her parents were no longer needed as affirmation in her life.
I Think Charlotte Made a Better Choice not to Trust her Parents But To Work herself Up The ladder and Be Proud Of Herself with Excellent Choices. If she Didn't Do That Then She would have been Down in the Dumps like Her Sister. Charlotte had Wicked Parents That Attended to Caroline More than Charlotte. It is VERY SAD To See How Parents shields One Child Over another. I Feel Very Sorry for Charlotte But I Really Admire Her For looking After Herself Being A Goal Getter. WELL DONE CHARLOTTE GOD BLESS YOU. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This story is so good, I can't hold back my tears.very
This story is a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always hope.
She had to be strong, she could Not count on her family .
This story is so good, I can't hold back my tears.
Wow… the audacity of some parents. They invest everything in one child, then go silent when the other one wins on their own? This hit deep. Your success speaks louder than their silence. Anyone else feel this injustice?
You can't trust family or you'll regret it for life
I love this OP,you dont know how strong you are until you have to be.
