What a sad and happy story. I can totally relate to it since my story is quite like it. Being an adult with so much baggage can be difficult but what a blessing to be an adult and in charge of our future relationships. I am so glad you found your prince (as I did too). How sad that we take so long some times to jump out of that cycle.

Thank you for your review and rating. I am glad that you could relate to my story. Your review is good for me, because it also tells me I am not alone. I am glad you found your prince. It is sad that we take so long to jump out of the cycle, but it's because that is how we were programmed. Thank you for reading.
Comment from Tootie
It was so brave of you to share this! So very well-written and is open & honest. I could relate to being hospitalized at a young age. That happened to me too. I'm so glad that your life has turned around now, someone loves you the way you should be love, and that you are sharing this to help others. You are not a victim anymore. You are a hero!
God Bless You!

God Bless YOU and THAT MAN beside you (and even the dog!). I am lighting a prayer candle for YOU tonight and for your continued happiness and well-being. This person is a true SURVIVOR. It is therapy to share and brave and your story is eloquently told and you . . . YOU are a warrior!

Comment from papa55mike
What an amazing and honest story that I can relate to. I know the isolation of being home alone with no friends. Being a child and after school having to clean the house and get supper started before my mom got home or be beaten with an extension cord. When I was 10 my mother moved in with one of my stepfathers. They would be gone during the day and my much older stepbrothers would take turns sexually abusing me. I barely remember how that ended, but it wasn't good. Telling your story brings these issues to the forefront and helps others to relate that their not the only ones. This is very well-written. I wish I had a six for you.
Have a great day, and God bless.

Thank you for your review and rating. The virtual 6 stars is better than the actually stars. I am so sorry that happened to you. I am glad you could relate to my story and hopefully it helps you in someway. Knowing you are not alone does help in some ways. Thank you for reading.

Hi Sandra, I'm so sorry, that you've had such a bad start to your life that seemed to follow well into adulthood. But in the end you found your prince. I'm so pleased for you. That's the best, and now you also have the writing. Warm regards. Ulla:)))

I'm glad you found your Prince for everyone deserves to smile. Your story will move hearts and may help some that are in a similar situation. Abuse is a crime yet many get away with it. Thank you for letting see a part of your life. God bless you and smile.

Thank you for your review and rating. I hope my story does help someone. Abuse is a crime many get away with, because the person abused believes it it their fault. Many women my age had no one to go to in the 70's. Not like the girls do today. Thank you for reading.

Good luck in the contest Sandra. It takes a brave person to share even a tiny bit of their past. You shared the horrors that followed you through your life until you found some peace and happiness. This was both honest and amazing. Well done.

Thank you for your review and rating. I shared my horrors in hope that someone who went through a similar time could know they are not alone. The worst feeling for anyone who went through what I went through is feeling alone.

You are most welcome Sandra, you are so correct, loneliness is devastating.
Comment from LisaMay
You can get rid of that "kick me" sign now. My heart goes out to you for the pain you have suffered in your "longing for belonging". How courageous of you to document it but I am sure that writing out your pain has helped you be released from it. Especially now that you have found happiness. xx

Thank you for your review and rating. Saying your heart goes out to me is more appreciated then the stars. I had this written on my computer years ago. I thought about writing a book about it to help others. Thank you for reading.

I think sharing personal experiences is very helpful to others as it makes them realise they are not alone.
Comment from JudyE
I think you are very courageous to document your story for us to read. Although I found your story very sobering, I am glad you have found a safe and happy place now.
Just a couple small spags:
I was poked a prodded - poked and prodded
As quickly as I was sick, I started to feel better, the hospital eventually let me go home after being in isolation for almost a month. - period after 'better'.
Cheers. Judy

Thank you for your review and rating. I appreciate you pointing out those errors and I have fixed them. I am glad my story had an influence on you. Thank you for reading.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
I enjoyed reading this contest entry. My suggestion would be to keep an eye on the your sequence. At the end of paragraph 3 you mention high school then start paragraph 4 at twelve. I am happy that you have a good life now. Good luck with the contest.
He was the only father I knew. (You already mentioned this. Don't need to mention it again.)

Thank you for your review and rating. I mentioned high school to give an ideal of how long I was the quite shy kid. I did fix the father thing and thank you for pointing that out. I wrote this years ago, and made certain corrects when reading for the contest. I was going to write a book in hopes of helping others. I just didn't get to far on it. Thank you for your kind words and the good luck in the contest. Thank you for reading.
