You think you know me?
Origins
Born in Nottingham on the 28th March 1991 I know that my parents were having their own difficulty which affected my upbringing. From a very early age I didn't live with either of my parents but with various family members. I don't have all that many memories from this time period, but something that is hard to forget was being locked in a tiny cupboard for no reason other than for enjoyment. An abuse of power from a family member I should have been able to trust. I remember as a very young child the pressure rising as I was engulfed in total darkness unable to move only cry and scream. A momentary loss of self before my brain had even properly formed, or I had any real sense of identity. I don't remember a happy present family. It's important to understand that whilst the responsibility should have been with my parents to give me a strong stable foundation, this is not something I hold against them. As a young adult I understand that life is cruel and difficult even at the best of times and sometimes we make the wrong decisions or we just can't cope.
