You know... I've always wanted to be "normal". I've always wanted a "normal" happy family. A "normal" life, but I couldn't. I couldn't live happily like other kids. I couldn't just eat whatever I wanted. I've never lived a "normal" life. I never KNEW what a normal life was.

I've always been scared. I lived my whole life in fear. In fear that one day I would end up dead in the hands of my father. My father isn't very nice. He gets joy in hitting my mother and I. Every night I would hear my mother and father arguing. Hear my mother crying and begging for her life.

One day she had had enough. She left the house... alone leaving me behind with this monster. She didn't even say good bye to me. I wanted to go with her, but she had left me in this abusive home, with no one to help.

I never understood why she would leave without me until I saw her walking with a man I didn't recognize. They were holding hands and she was smiling. Something she never did when she lived in that house. I got so excited. I thought she had come back to take me away from that house so I ran to her and guess what she did. She pushed me away claiming I was insane. I called out to her, "Mom wait! take me with you! please don't leave me alone again!"

She just glared at and said, "I don't have a daughter. I'm not your mother little girl." and walked away with that strange man. And once again... I was left alone. Unwanted.
