Yeah my mom married a very abusive man who emotionally, sexually and physically abused me. Slowly she became emotionally and physically abusive towards me even after she divorced him. That really happened until I moved out when I was 19.
I look like I am rather young (lets say 16-17) and I get comments all the time about if I have a child and such. The most recent time was at 7-Eleven was just "So you are buying a baby bottle." "Yep." He proceeds to look me up and down. "Uh huh"
I am currently reading A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold. So far it is a beautiful (by beautiful I mean the writing style) book and I highly recommend it :)
I was going to a meet up even and some said welcome (like welcoming me to the event) and I said welcome to you too back... they are the host of the event. They were already there
