Where I came from

I am just like a lot of you reading this. I want you to know my back story so you can better understand the decisions I am making now and in the future. I have 2 brothers, one who is 28 and then a 13 year old, and both of them are half brothers if you wanna get technical. I was a happy child for the most part until I was about 4 or 5 when my parents divorced. My parents had joint custody of me and I had to spend every other week with each parent. I always felt growing up that my mother never wanted me, that she always chose my brother and her stupid abusive boyfriends. But I am grateful that I had my father and my mom's mother to raise me, they were always there for me. Growing up I had to watch my mother go from one retard to another and I had to watch her get the crap beat out of her. Thats not stuff a child needs to go through. As I got older things got worse with my mother. I couldnt keep her attention, I was always the bastard child to her. I always wanted that relationship with her but not anymore I dont even care. Even in high school my mother was never there. She missed out on my junior prom, senior prom, and my high school graduation. But for the other parts of my life it really wasnt to bad. I have my dad who is one of my best friends and my grandmother who I am also close with on my side. Today I just want everyone to know that there is a lot that I can relate to, I am a good listener so any questions or comments i'd be happy to answer. Tomorrow I will talk about my marriage/divorce so you can better understand what has shaped my life today.
