When I was 3 years old my mom took off with me from my dad's house. My dad was abusive towards my mom and I. The reason my mom took off was because my dad drank and smoked. We ended up going to Morgan, Utah to my aunt's house where they were willing to take care of us.
My aunt and uncle took care of my mom until she had to be put in a nursing home because of her multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a disease that makes it so you can not take care of yourself. So after my mom was placed there my aunt took care of me for a few years until my dad wanted me back.
When I went back to my dad's house he treated me like he wanted to and did not care what I felt like. So then I was going back and forth between my aunt and dad. Then one day I was at my dad's house and he hurt me so I yelled at him and then took off. So he said that I need to get in the car so he could take me somewhere where I would never find my way home.
At that point in my life I went to the Christmas box house. I was there for about five months before I got put in foster care. I was at my first foster home for eight months. My second foster home was in Salt Lake City and I was there for four and a half years. The third home I was in was in West Jordan and I was there for eight months. My fourth home was in Eagle Mountain: was there for six months. My last placement was in Saratoga Springs: I was there for eight months. This is where I learned to be respectful, polite, and trustworthy.
I am now staying at a respite home for now until my caseworker can find a home for me. The family that I am staying with is really nice and caring.

I like how I can relate to your life . You lived a long a difficult life . You had an abusive , but I had one that didn't drink or do drugs or anything. He was just a mean guy , gets mad at the stupidest shiz ever. My story is not like yours but follows along that path. It's good that your away from that type of abuse now you can live a long and fruitful life. I hope you know how to stay away from that type of person.
I really like this post because I can relate it to my own life in a lot of ways. My dad used to abuse me, (he would call it discipline). But it was far from that, and when people asked him about it he would lie. So I come from a similar background.
I like how I can relate my past with yours. My dad use to be the same way but came along way to change himself. I'm very glad to know that your doing good now and I can tell your a great person.
