Mother and daughter together forever (Part 1) - Alia: "I made very painful sacrifices to be with the man I love".

"My mother, Robyn Dawn Floren, is my best friend, and it is excruciating to be away from her (Exhibit A).  Being her only child, we have a very special relationship.  This relationship is even stronger than most mother-child relationships, because when I was a baby, I was kidnapped by my biological father.  Because my mother missed my first steps walking, my first words, and my first teeth, she has committed herself to being with me during every important moment.  We are united in our struggles, and desperately need each other for moral support."  

Alia's biological father committed suicide when she was only 22-months old. According to Alia's mother, he had kidnapped her one year earlier, when he separated from her mother. However, by all accounts, Alia's biological father only went to his parents home and it is not known that Robyn, Alia's mother, ever did anything to get her baby back. Be that as it may, having felt deprived of all those magical moments in her baby's life (first teeth, first steps, first words ...), all since then, Robyn has time and time again told Alia mother and daughter will be together forever.

My marriage was difficult before it even began. I endured intense scrutiny from my family. They all selfishly wanted me to fulfill their own desires.
