Dear Reader,
Hello, my name is Cora. I’m 23. I have a story.. but it’s not “rad.” Anywho. Here it is.
I went through about 6 foster homes by the time I was 5. I was adopted at 6 along with my 6 other blood siblings. AMAZING RIGHT ??? Who does that? Very rare. I bet you’re thinking we got so lucky.
At the age of 6, my foster dad began sexually and physically abusing my sisters and I. When I turned 16, I gained the courage to go to my school about it. Why did I wait so long? Shitty question but I’ve been asked and was dumbfounded that some didn’t get it.
I waited so long because who would believe us? We were the foster kids known to get in trouble – or so our parents made us out that way. Other than school we had no way to contact anyone. We felt helpless. My mom kicked me out because she didn’t believe me. He’s in prison for life. But I’ve been on my own since 16.
This is my amazing daughter, Avriahna. She is 3!! Being a mom is so important to me. We’re making it. I have a 3 bedroom house with my boyfriend. A nice green yard. 2 pups. A nice vehicle. My credit is amazing. I got here on my own when everyone said I couldn’t.
I’ve lived out of my first car as a teen. (Before I had my daughter) I know what going hungry feels like. I’ve had sleepless nights and I’ve had nights I cried myself to sleep.
I’ve had months where I gave up, stopped taking care of everything including myself and wanted to just end things but I have too much I need to live for. I have this goal in life I can’t seem to let go of. I want to recreate my family tree, starting with me. ?????
ANYWAYS. So sad and soppy.
Life is HARD but BEAUTIFUL. I didn’t get dealt a shitty hand, I got dealt TWO shitty hands but it’s def. all about how you play your cards. Keep pushing forward. Create your life. Smile. Always stay as positive as you can. And life is short, so eat that f*&%#@! donut. ?
