Bio

I'm struggling at the moment. Im not sure what to put here. I'm a crazy cat lady, a mom, and I'm honestly just trying to make it thru the day. I'm a work in progress, and I'm trying to make changes. I enjoy DIY stuff, and diet peach snapple. Lol I can eat my weight in carrots and broccoli too.

...See more I don't know where to begin. My story is no different then most people. I had a rough childhood. I was violently abused by my mother. She would drug me on a regular basis..and when she found out I was throwing it up she used to make me eat it. Every other night she would strangle me by holding me against the wall until I passed out. I remember waking up to my father carrying me to bed. She would purposely hurt me...and one time she ran into me with a cart while we were shopping so badly that I bled for a week and a half. Nothing would stop the bleeding. Most nights she didn't feed me. But I grew to like the hunger. She would strip me down to my underwear and weigh me on a regular basis to see if I had gained any weight. ....and then chase me around the house with a razor. Not only did I get this at my home, but also at school. I was beat up every other day.. I had no safe place. Ever.The cops were called so much. No one ever believed me. It didn't matter if I had a freshly bruised eye..or a large gash on my arm. No one believed me. I started to feel like I deserved it. Everything. I ran away at 13 and finally decided that I would rather live on the streets..then to be constantly abused by everyone. I was arrested 2 months later. My grandparents took me in..the more i talk about it the easier it gets. I'm starting therapy soon to work on my eating disorder, and to learn how to cope with such a past..because it's still effects me still to this day.
