Found My Home

Growing up I was always the “too sensitive” one that got picked on and made fun of relentlessly. I never really felt like I belonged anywhere, and my home life was not great. My father was a raging alcoholic who felt being harder on me than necessary was the only way to “toughen me up” and my mother is a manipulative narcissist. I married at 18 for all the wrong reasons after my mother kicked me out and found myself in yet another abusive relationship. We left the Midwest and I finally found a place where I felt at home, and I found my tribe. With their love and support, I was able to leave my ex and start over.
