My problems
I’ve seen plenty of movies where there is a perfect family. I hate those movies because I watch the movie and then I wish I had that kind of family. Instead of the family that I have I mean don’t think I hate my family I wouldn’t trade them for the world. They have taught me a whole lot. I have learned about religion, to help others, to work hard, and how to be a bad person. I mean I learned how to drink alcohol at age ten, and I was abused in all ways from age 2-15. I ended being a very aggressive person and hurt others.
My dad seemed to neglect me from age 7 to age 13ish until I got into trouble with the law, which was around age 13ish. I remember one time my mom and I got into an argument over me swearing, and when she caught me she yelled “get you’re a*$ down to your room” and she kicked me down the stairs.
My uncle got me into drinking alcohol and it took one time of drinking alcohol, and I was hooked from then on I was abusing alcohol every chance I could. I have drank pretty much everything from beer (gross) to two year old Caribbean rum (spicy).
These are the reasons why I am glad I am in a group home because I am now away from abuse and alcohol. I have been sober for quite some time now. My family has not changed much except my mom has quit smoking that makes me proud of her. My grandparents are still there for me loving and cherishing me as much as they can.
I am now learning how to change it is coming slowly but it is still coming. Change is very possible even you can do it. Thank for taking time out of your day to read this.

James,
Hey bud. Thanks for sharing that story about you and your family. I have been lucky to have a good family, especially my brothers. They are great friends. I am also glad you were in the group home. If you weren't then I wouldn't have met you. Talk to you soon.
yeah thats too bad my story pretty similar arent we amazing tyler
for the longest time I thought that since my life was so bad I was ment to suffer but why would god allow me to suffer if it wasn't for a reason maybe I was ment to suffer to be more awear of life and the world around me because I'm awear now...are you
I am so sorry that happened to you. I know a lot of kids that have been abused. Including myself. It was a different kind of abuse, but I know how it is to trust someone to protect you, then they do something like that.. it's hard to trust again after it's been broken in such a painful way. But you need to learn to build that with people you know won't hurt you. Remember to be yourself. People will love you for who you are. They won't try to change you. : )

Wow...I really don't know what to say. Me and you have alot in common though. My parents didn't beat me but they were alcoholics to the max and did drugs. My real dad has never really been there but was into drugs and drinking bad too. I just wanna thank you James, you have really made an impact on my life and I will never forget you! Thanks for being you!

James,
You really give me a lot of hope for my future. Not everyone has a fairytale story and it’s hard to realize that when you are young or even now. So I would like to thank you for all your help that you have given me. So basically always keep your head and keep an eager on what you want man. For me you are my idol because you are so strong your resilience is amazing. Do not let anyone get you down I do not care what anyone says about you, to me you are an amazing person. NEVER GIVE UP!
