What happens when we feel so weak? when we feel so much abandoned and lost in life? Where’ll we go once we starting feeling low or missing someone?
The common and sensible answer for every above question is, our dear parents!
Yes! parents are the pillars that help us to reach the roof of success and contentedness. Now imagine how it will be if parents are the people who actually abandoned a person in his childhood, just because the child is born with bad looks?
This heartbreaking incident took place in the United States of America with Jono Lancaster, now inspirational speaker.
Jono Lancaster is 36 hours old when he was abandoned at the hospital bed two decades back, as they discovered that his parents discovered that their child is deformed and that can’t be curable. He was later adopted by a woman named Jean Lancaster.
Jono was born with a rare disease called ‘Treacher Collins Syndrome’, a disease resulting in a severe deformation of the facial features. It was genetic, an accident of birth. From an early age, he felt alone and channelled that sadness into aggressive behaviour. He was bullied and picked on in his schooling, which turned on his life later.
However, after certain years, Jono was discovered on social media that he had two other siblings who do not know that he exists. He tried to reach out to his parents again. They rejected him a second time, and this is the second big blow that broke him once again.
