Hey raging vortex, tnx for starting this thread!
I am sorry for all the hurt you have been through.

For the people who dared to call themselves my parents:

**** you, for your violence, envy, hatred, physical, sexual, emotional and cognitive abuse that I suffered in your hands.

I am not what your behavior towards me suggested that I am. My self-worth is not and will never again be based on what I have been led to believe that I am. **** your lies and manipulation. My life is so much better without you in it.
