my step fam once left me alone with a mall santa clause when I was very little. and, I was absolutely terrified. the mall santa tried to keep me calm, all I remember is falling asleep in santa's lap then waking up in my bed. my stepdad is who woke me up by pulling my hair. he told I should be grateful he didn't leave me at the mall. I kinda wish he did sometimes. their still the same toxic people I live with, unfortunately.
