Your story made me cry. I realized that it sounded exactly like my life years ago, just with different names... I have got to tell you, you're fabulous and both your struggle as well as mine, are who we are today.

Jessica, i've been lost in your story, and amazed at how much one person can endure, and still be pressing on. my life has definitely had some messed up moments, but i cannot even imagine how you must feel having gone through all of that. you definitely had to grow up so fast, and make extremely difficult choices which a child should never have to make. i can't even fathom how such a young child (when you were cleaning, taking care of the brother, etc) would be able to do all those things and be so responsible. i have an eight year old little brother, and i can't imagine him doing any of what you've had to do. i suppose when life is rough and dangerous, we do whatever we can in order to just survive, no matter how young. you were trying to survive. i wish there were some words i could say to you that would take it all away, but that isn't possible. i'm so sorry for what you've been through in life. i'm so sorry you've had to deal with that kind of crap...crap that was dumped on you by some seriously selfish and evil people. i wish i knew you just so i can help hold you through it all...through the pain i know you still must have and feel as a result of your past. i wish i could help ease your pain. thank you so much for sharing your story. i know it must have been hard just to write it out, and to be so honest. please hang in there dear, and know that even though it might seem hopeless, things can get better. much love to you!

Hello, I read your whole story, and I am sad, but you said it in such a way that would get anyone's attention, and it sure got mine, I have seen your story here before, it has obviously been here along time, I am sorry no one else gave you a review. If you ever wanna talk, you can go to www.atforumz.com and go to angel84's profile, and you will find my email, but I am sure you don't go here and will probably never see this review. Take care of yourself, good luck with your life, stay strong, Jessi
