This is my true story of my upbringing and all I went through as a young girl living with my father and being mistreated by my step mom. There was hurt, pain, and a lot of sadness a young child should never have to endure. Why did it have to happen to me? I always thought that one day there was hope that a family member would search for me. I didn't want to live unhappy, not knowing if there was a chance for me to know who my mother was. I finally had that chance and I got that happiness I was missing all along afterall.
