I once heard this story of this girl, and she had a horrible life. I will tell her story. She was born to a mother whom never wanted to. She was neglected from the day she was born. He biological father beat her until the day he committed suicide when she turned 6. Her mother did nothing to stop it, just let it happen. Instead, her mother told her,"It's all your fault, if you would have just obeyed, then you wouldn't have gotten hit." Then her mother met another even worse man. He sexually molested this girl for a whole year until she confided to her mother. Again, her mother did nothing. Instead, she told the girl to lie about it, or else she'd get thrown out in the street where she would starve. She was also told, 'It's all your fault." She was mentally abused from the day she met her stepfather, and was always told things like: "you are a piece of sh*it," " no one could love you," "you are worthless, and a horrible child." "I regret the day I gave birth to such a horrible child!" When this girl became a teen, of course her past came back to haunt her, through mental illnesses. She became bipolar and had PTSD. She became a cutter, and when she reached out for help from the people whom should have loved her, she was spit on more then ever, and again ridiculed. And of course told again, 'It's all your fault, you have chosen to be the way you are." She finally got away from that terrible environment as soon as she could, and never looked back. But, that's not the end of it. She was thrown into another abusive situation. She was beaten by her boyfriend and had to hide bruises many of times. Of course, she believed it was all her fault, she shouldn't have pushed him. But he swore his love and devotion, and she accepted because she had never had love in her life. Think that's it? NOPE, when she finally realized that she did deserve better, she decided to leave her boyfriend. He killed himself right before her eyes, and the last words he said to her was "It's all your fault!" Was it all her fault? What do you think? Think your life is bad? I know others have been through a lot, but when I heard this story, I was blown away. Who wrote it? I'll let you guess. But, it has a happy ending, she is still alive.

This girl sounds a lot like me. There are a lot of things in your story that I can relate to. I'm glad that you survived, and that you feel that your life has been part of making you who you are, and that it is a happy ending that you are still alive. I also commend you on writing your story so honestly and frankly. While I often share bits and pieces of my life online, I have yet to actually sit down and write my story in such a way, and I admire you for being able to do so.

I just wanted people to know that however horrible their life has seemed, there are others whom have had it worse. I have accepted what has happened to me, and yes, it has made me a better person. I can honestly say though that now, I am completelly happy where my life is.

Yes, each life is precious. Do not ever forget that. No matter how much trauma I have been through, I am a strong and better person person because of it. Just realize, it could be worse, and accept your life for what it is. Each day is a new day, and you should enjoy each day to it's fullest. I have overcome my trauma, and it has made me a stronger person. I don't want people to feel sorry for me, no, not at all! I want people to realize that if I can overcome this much, you can too!

You have made me cry, i dont understand how a mother could do that to her own child and it makes me so angry that i wish i could meet her face to face and do all of the above to her and see how she feels. It realy dosnt matter if someone has had a harder life than the next person because at the end of the day regardless it is all it feels equally as bad and is just as destructive on the person involved. I wish you all the best and many huge hugs to you and if you need someone to talk to i will always be close by.....

what a sad story!she really had a terrible life.i wonder how she could resist passing through all of these.she had a cruel destiny without beeing her fault.she doesn't have to pay for the other's mistakes.would she recover ever?would she wake up from the nightmare her life was?very difficult for her.don't know how her mother could do this.sometimes i'm cruel with my daughter but i couldn't be like her mother was.

Yes, a terrible past, but not a terrible life. Now, her life is great. She has moved on in her life, and has become a stronger person. Yes, sometimes mothers just care too much about their own happiness then to be concerned with the welfare of her own children. It's unfortunate. But fortunetelly, she has overcome her hardships and is a better person because of them. Thanks for the response.

That is such a sad story. I do know people who have gone thru hard times like this and survived. Of course it is not all this girls fault!! She is a victim of abuse. When children are abused they almost always grow up and find themselves in other abusive and dysfunctional relationships. They have never had love and don't know how to look for it or even accept it if it were offered.Their esteem is beaten down at such a young age to a level that they would not feel confident in a healthy and loving relationship. This person isn't you is it?

Gosh, I AM blown away. Is this story real? I think her life is terrible in one way, but it is kinda difficult to compare with others cos the scenarios will be different. But at the end of the day, it is all about hardships and sadness. I just wish these would become extinct!! Then people would know nothing about sorrows.
