ABOUT
trigger warnings: death, addiction,
defne didn’t have an easy or glamorous life. the last few years had been spent struggling with addiction while dancing for men and a baby was not in the plans. She wanted better for her child, better than she’d ever had. the process for adoption was done early but when she saw her baby girl, she couldn’t do it. she worked hard to raise her daughter right but fell back into addictions when she returned to the strip club.
selin was in someone else’s care since she was a few months old. it was often her friends, coworkers, but the constant was the elder neighbour who lived below them. the elder woman had become a sort of second mom to defne and then selin.
when she was five years old, her mom passed away and she was taken into foster care. without any extended family members around, the family who had gone through the initial process of adopting her were contacted. despite being in constant contact and multiple visits, the procedure was still one that took many years. throughout those years, selin was placed in foster care until the age of nine when she arrived to heartsdale with her new family.
it took her a while to get used to her new life. it was far from the one she’d had with her birth mother but school made the adjustment easier for the young girl who always thrived in the educational system.
her high school years was when she struggled the most with her own partying tendencies and trying to fit into her new life while trying to find herself. the alcohol and boys were a bad combination and something she couldn’t quite stay away from.
she fell in love with a bad man who ended up going away for a long time. when he left, she fell depressed and was hospitalized
the kindness of the nurses were the only highlight of the experience and rather than let herself feel the loss, she buried those feelings and threw herself into nursing school after getting accepted.
before her graduation, her adoptive parents were in a fatal accident and all the emotions she hadn’t faced were no longer able to be pushed down and selin was forced to face them once and for all. it took many years and a lot of therapy for her to feel like she’s finally landed on stable ground.
the money she’d inherited hasn’t been touched and she has no plan on using any of it. after so many years, she’s just now getting around to dealing with the estate of her deceased parents.
