It started when she realized that life wasn't as easy as it seemed. In 3rd grade, school started to become hard for her, she couldn't read as fast as the other kids and she wasn't as pretty as the 'popular girls'. She began crying at night and breaking down in the middle of class when she didn't understand something. She would beat herself up about everything because she knew she wasn't good enough. She tried to keep it together for her siblings because she noticed that her family wasn't as as happy anymore, she would hear her mom and dad fighting over the phone about child support and started to wonder if the divorce was because of her. They did get separated right after she was born. She thought maybe she was just too much to handle, maybe 4 kids were too many, maybe she was a mistake. None of these were true but she didn't know it at the time.
