Things have happened in my life, and I know that it is going to be a long road, but here is my story. I grew up in a not so functional family. My parents were 5 years apart i believe. They had my brother Jonathan and Stephen when my mom was 15 or 16, they didn't make it. When My mom was 18 she had my sister and had me shortly after that. My dad was barely ever around, he worked nights and slept all day and all he ever did was yell at everyone for EVERYTHING. When I was about 6 my mom threw him out of the house. We lived a little rocky and my mom switched from boyfriend to boyfriend there was only one that I actually looked to as a father, more then my own father actually. After he was gone everything turned to hell. We moved about every 2 months switching us from school to school. I failed 1st grade from never going. When I was 9 my dad took me and my 3 other sibling away from my mom and we moved to Colinsville, Texas. My Aunt and Uncle and my 4 other cousins lived there. My dad didn't really care much and we never could pay the bills and were always left alone, but when I was in the 4th grade my aunt decided to take us from my dad and I lived happily with her and my cousins for about 2 or 3 years. In the summer of 2006 I moved back down here, and everything settled down a bit... well kind of. I'll admit that I don't know when to quit, and that sometimes its really just best for me to shut my mouth. I probably have bigger dreams then most people do, and some day there all going to come true. I'm scared of almost everything, I'm scared of living. Sometimes I'd just like to quit, but I know I have to be strong for the people I do love. I love my mom even though she couldn't always be there, I know she always tried her best to be the mother she wanted to be. I highly dislike my dad. He's not nice or caring. He constantly yells and doesn't know when to just shut his mouth, some people say I'm kind of like him, but I will NEVER treat my kids the way he treats me and my siblings. He's controlling and obsessive and I hate him. I'm getting out of this damn state as soon as I can.
