I'm gonna get all cavity-inducing here and say that you're an inspiration to me. You've done so well for yourself, and I wish I had half your strength.
*hugs* I have never met you in real life, but I love you unconditionally. It's a fucking travesty that the woman who gave birth to you didn't feel the same.
I hate it how family can be in that position to seriously fuck people over like that, but since you turned it into something better and didn't allow yourself to be a victim, that's truly admirable *hugs*
To be fair, I have done pretty well for myself, but when I first got kicked out I had ME and was working as a temp for a company based two hours from where I lived. I would literally leave the house at 6.30am, get home at 7.00pm and literally just sleep in between.
It was a nightmare. I feel so detached from all that, now. Doesn't feel like it happened to the same person.

I want to be you when I grow up. ♥
