Becoming Me
This is a story of how I got where I am now, and where I want to be. Where else to start but the beginning? My life could have been worse. For being the one living in it I thought it was pretty shitty. But the start wasn't too bad. My grandmother and her husband came from a traditional, Christian home. My grandfather being one of two kids and my grandmother being one of eight, both had kids of their own when they got married, one of each of the same sex. Grandmother having my mother and my grandfather had my uncle. Both kids were into whatever the popular thing was, which was scary for parents in that era. Drugs, sex, alcohol, rock and roll of the '70s, in their teens. My mother was said to have a mental disability that left her unable to become a "true" adult, they said she was mentally challenged in some way. I never saw that. I was also told that she would run away when she was a teen, being a wild child, and all the stories of how rebellious she was. She had her first kid at 17, she had me at 19. My brother and I were taken away from my mother when I was 2, my grandmother took us in.
