first off my mom is on drugs all my life no one wanted to take me in; in our family so they forced my mean aunt to adopt me. as I was growng up she moved me out far excluded from the family she physically & mentally abused me as a child even when I was a teen things go farther than this even her daughter & grandchildren did some pretty F'd up things.When I turned 18 she basiclly threw me out bcus I wouldnt walk her dog down to a feild in the deep snow in the winter.I was living with my mean aunts friend her daughter was my bestfriend but they started using me,so I left know skip all the other stuff.Today is my cousins bday & I been noticing this bcus she was adopted by my mean aunts sister they wanted her quick! but not me. They treat her like royalty buy her clothes every day almost anything she wants but push me to the side. My bday just passed & all I got was a ipod bcus mine broke but they bought her 3 one got stolen,she broke one on pupose, She got a big flat screen Tv & a new Car

Hi Me-ow,
1st, Ipod is no cheapy. Appreciate the gift instead of comparing with what others got. However, that doesn't absolved them from all the mean things they did to you. You have a had a difficult life up until now..But you can turn it around. How?? By "being someone they're not"..By "not doing to others what they did to you". By treating them as "reverse role models". Go out and find a job. Then if you want to move out, do so..But it's what happens thereafter that will make the difference. If what you got was meanness with your aunt, give out "kindness" to others. If they keep on "criticizing you", give "praises" to others. If they show you "hate", "love" others. Notice what Iam asking you to do others are exactly what you've always wanted people to do to you. Begin by reversing the trend and good things will happen to you. Don't make the mistake of continuing what they did to you, by doing it to others. You'll forever be trapped in that vicious loop. My heart goes out to you..But you can turn it around. It's all in your hands.

Well my friend, I have never been in your position, but I think it is safe to say that it is, because first of all your mother has a substance problem and she cannot take care of you, your aunt is neglecting you, which by the way is illegal, and you moved in with your aunts friend, and then she and her daughter who was your best friend was using you, which is bad, yet better than being neglected, but it is not the right thing to do, you do not treat children like that, I mean Ipod's are not alot of money now, they are practically nothing, and the fact that you were neglected makes me sick you have to do something, just forget about them like they didn't care for you, forget it, find a job, get a great future, and when they need something, just keep in mind that they never did anything for you. I am not talking out of anger, as I am studying law and almost whatever your "aunt" did seems to be against the law. So in all, your life is not but your childhood is deprived, and you have to change that. Keep your friends close, and your enimies closer, in this case your "aunt".

I don't ever give out sympathy to any adult who complains about a "bad childhood". My mom is a drug addict ( narcotics BIG). Everything we ever had of value she stole off of us from bicycles to rings to flutes,etc to pawn for drugs. My first stepdad molested me and my sister, my mother stayed after we told him. They divorced and one day when I was 8, she wrote us a note and left us. My siblings went to relatives, I went to foster care. Finally my dad got custody of me but he was and is an alcoholic military man who believes firmly in spare the rod mentality. He honestly thought that if he told you 24/7 that you weren't good enough, it would push you farther. His new wife HATED me. When I was 17 and still in high school, I moved out with nothing but the clothes I had on. I had to leave my car because my dad was helping me pay for it. I endured horrible abuse, physically, mentally and sexually at various stages in my life. If all I had to ***** about was only getting one IPOD for my b-day, life would have been a dream, sweetheart. I paid for college, ( I am an RN) by MYSELF, no financial aid because my dad wouldn't cooperate with filling out tax info. I bought my first car, my first house,etc. by MYSELF. It was not easy by any means at all, but I know that I cannot count on someone else to make my way for me. Sorry to come down so hard, but I hate people that want to be perpetual victims. If you don't like it, leave, do something about it. So what if someone else gets "treated better" ? Go and make your own life. You are over 18 anyway.The choice is yours. YOu have the same options I had. I had every excuse in this life to fail. I just chose not to.

You are no kid. Ipod's cost between 180 and 300 dollars, that's a pretty nice gift for someone they don't care about. Get a job and earn your own things. You might have gotten a rotten start, but its over and you can either have a pity party all your life or you can stop whining and get to living. Its all on you, do a better job than them.

You got a rough start and it hurts but try and move on. Getting free stuff is pretty cool, it means you've got it good right now.

waht does it teach you.
not about them, but about you should conduct your self.
about the kind of grit thats needed to keep focused and get where you want to go.
they arent as important as the things you can learn form this.
even in the darkest hour of night theres light.
