It's been a process.
Getting the crap beaten out of me at my birth
My parents divorce
My mom abandoning me
Trauma from my stepmom
Being left in charge of my sister and being told I was abusing her
Getting the shit kicked out of me in School for no fucking reason at all
Getting belittled by teachers
Talking down suicides
Dealing with drunks
Being abused by my stepfather
Losing my brother and sister
Dropping out of high school
Wrecking my car
Living with criminals
Losing my apartment
Going through multiple asshole bosses
Being unemployed for a year and having my own worthlessness constantly reinforced everyday.
It all comes together at a head of suckiness, but really it was just an observation that I made on the playground in second grade, that life on a whole was a valiant struggle against pain, and that only by staying together do human beings have any chance of lessening that pain.

I didn't realise at the time. But when I was 8. The world tried to kick my ass.
My Dad died and my mother couldn't cope without him, we went to health camp for 6 weeks while she went on holiday (she really had a nervous breakdown)
When we got back Mum was distant and weird (Last year I found out she had electro shock therapy)
my Mum overdosed on pills and booze, I called the ambulance and told my little sister to bike to my Nana's. When the ambulance came so did the police. I remember my Mum telling me to hide and the nice policewoman telling me it was ok to come with her just as my mum threw a glass lemonade bottle at her in a drunken/drugged effort to make them leave me alone. I screamed so loud that the cops let me go in the ambulance with her.
LOL ever since? On the up side I have learnt that no matter how hard the world kicks your ass? If you scream loud enough you can get your own way. It's all about strategy/ tactics and improvisation. Shit happens. It's how you deal with it that makes the difference. The outcome is up to you, no matter what the cards dealt to you are.
