This is a short story about an only child having to come to terms with the fact that there is now a new family member in the house. All the attention gets focused on the baby, and so the other child might feel a little neglected. This a a story that everyone can relate to in some way or another.

Just Leave Me Alone is for all of you smothering parents out there that worry about every little thing when it comes to your children. Many parents don't realize that being too strict has its disadvantages. We all want to protect our children, but there is such a thing as overprotection. The best thing to do as your children get older is to give them room to make their own mistakes. It won't be easy, but I feel like it's necessary. If you don't trust your children, then they will never feel comfortable coming to you about anything, and they are more likely to keep secrets and even lie to you, especially if you're that parent that overreacts about everything. Nobody's perfect. Your children will make bad decisions in their lives, but you still have to trust them to make the right decisions. This is something that every parent will have to face at some point, even if you don't want to.

This story is for all you little dreamers out there to hopefully inspire you to keep dreaming. I used to always say I wanted to be something like a lawyer or a doctor when I grew up because that's basically what I was taught to believe that what I was suppose to be. In my late twenties; I learned that I didn't want to be any of those things because it wasn't me. I never dreamed that I would have published three books by the time I was thirty years old. Writing is my passion because this is what makes me feel good, it makes my soul happy. When I write I feel like I am being true to myself. If you have a dream never give up on it because anything is possible. The sky is the limit.
