I had a lot of childhood trauma I grew up in a physically abusive household and my sister committed suicide at aged 10 and my dad left us homeless and then my mum remarried another very mentally and physically Abusive man who regularly beat me and threatened me until I got thrown out at age 17 and was homeless for 3 years in a shelter!! I am now happily married with two amazing sons running my own business and couldn't be happier but I also do believe those years of abuse had an effect on my physical and mental health that still affects me to this day!!

I was in a children's home all of my teenage life. Supposed to be under their care nad protection,lol. We were made to take different medications,and they used us for experiments. We only found this out in the last few years. I often wonder about this.
