You've never witnessed life like me, growing up in an abusive home wasn't really expected. 11 years old & being thrown across the room isn't much of a family feeling. I proceeded help at the age of 12, after my father abused me for so long, my loving mother & I decided to leave for our own safety. It was my 13th birthday, Reston Virgina was our only far away option. People walk into our life so quickly & become the most important people in our lives. We just don't know it yet.
