Today I am 20 years old. I grew up with a paralyzed, alcoholic dad and was raised by my single mom who suffered from undiagnosed MS but raised 4 children. I've suffered many disappointments and struggles throughout my life. I've been physically and mentally abused by various people I loved and trusted. I've had loved ones leave this earth much too soon. I fell in love young, ended up pregnant and alone at 16. I flunked out of college and was at a terrible point in my life, when my now ex's horrible treatment helped me decide it was time for a change. I'm now the happy mother of a beautiful 3 year old, totally in love with an amazing man who loves me for who I am, and for once I am living the life I dreamed I would years ago. It's been tough, but my own ability to persevere MMT.

Stories like this don't make me thing. They actually make me roll my eyes. Most of them seem very far fetched and kind of like they are patting themselves on their backs.

Today I can't do nothing but wonder comments mean comments like the one before mine. The amount of heartless people in this world MMT. There is seriously something wrong with you if you can't feel empathy for others. Especially for people who has this kind of background. You should be thinking twice before posting stuff like that. Words can truly hurt people, it doesn't matter if its written or spoken. For the one who write this story: Life haven't been easy for you but you still managed to push trough the pain and keep it all together. You are a lot stronger than many people I have met in my lifetime and you have the every reason to be proud of yourself. I am happy that your life has taken a better turn after all the hardships you have had before.

Thank you for posting this as posts like this makes life worth living and persevering. -Nick ThoughtsVent.com

To the person who commented first I just want to say something... I wish I didn't have to, but I need to inform you that this is in fact MY submission. I lived this, you didn't. I may seem like I'm "patting" my own back... which is right! I am and I deserve it. Life's been tough but I've some how come out on the better end of it, with a smile on my face. Your inability to show any form of empathy or for that matter, human emotion of any kind MMT. I invite you to experience a week in the life I came from and see how you feel. To the others, thank you for your kind words..
