i couldnt have said better bones.
im not trying to pull a "sympathy" part on myself, but im 20 years old. my mother passed when i was 2 and my father took off and havnt herd a thing from him until 6 years ago. when my father took off i had nowhere to go, but luckly one of my grandma's took me in, 3 years later she had passed and yet again 5 years old i had nowhere to go. my best friends father took me in and raised me as his own son. when my father finaly caught up with me 6 years back he informed me i had a little brother, finaly saw my little bro and my dad and it has impacted my life greatly. but unfortunetly the women he was with didnt like me from the get go. just last year, my father passed from brain cancer. kathy (the lady he was with) decided to take off with my little brother and i wouldnt be able to see or talk to him, which i was 110% against. so long story short, i wont go into detail but i now have full custody over my little brother. point im trying to get to is that theres road we take or forced to be on that will be rough, but best you do is gotta pull through and get it done. i am now a successful vice president of a company along side with my adoptive father, have my own house with my best friend and raising a little kid.
i would like to thank eGO community for basically becoming my second family, or in other words i did not have. keep on trucking along guys and lets not let this community fall
