He wanted a relationship but I did not accept…
My childhood days were not fun. I grew up in several homes due to my parent’s absence in my life. I lived with my mother for the first eight years of my life, and then my paternal grandmother came for me. She took me to her house where she lived with her husband and her stepchildren. The children were constantly picking on me because of the rivalry between them and my grandma. Whenever she travelled, I experienced hell. This continued till I turned thirteen. I had decided that enough was enough. The next time they attempted to bully me I…
