Part 3/8:
Sophia attempted to reach out to her mother during those difficult times, but Mrs. Johnson, engrossed in work, would dismiss her concerns, assuming Sophia merely craved attention. This dismissal further deepened Sophia's sense of isolation and despair. As her emotional turmoil grew, she became nervous around everyone, including her friends and teachers at school.
One day, Sophia's teacher, Miss Green, noticed her change in demeanor. Concerned, she contacted Mrs. Johnson, expressing her worries about the shift in Sophia's once cheerful disposition. The teacher's concern sparked a flicker of realization in Mrs. Johnson, who recognized that something was amiss at home. Though confused, she decided to explore further into her daughter’s behavior.
