Life was pretty tough back then for me, but now it is just getting better. I just recently turn 26 and I am married to a wonderful wife. We met when we were in high school and ran into each other again back in 2009. With how small our worlds are, our closest friends at the time were dating each other, and that is how we reacquainted ourselves. We then started dating and got engaged 6 months later. We had some financial trouble and unfortunate events occur but we were still able to get married a year and a half later. Here we are today, happy as can we can be.
Back to the tough life I had. I grew up in a pretty big family. A big family can be a good thing or a bad thing. Unfortunately for me it wasn't so great. I was number six of nine siblings and the youngest boy of five. My parents had their favorites and for me I guess you can say I was the runt of the family. Financially it was okay, my parents manage. I am grateful that they took care of me of course. It's just I felt like I wasn't really treated like part of the family. Pretty much everyone else got kind of what they wanted but I was left with hand me downs. Throughout my childhood, I would say my parents celebrated my birthday up until about 5 year old. My parents would forget my birthday, but remember everyone else. Kind of sad but what can I say. I got in trouble a lot for the things my siblings were able to do. I would have to do a lot more chores and be in trouble for messes I didn't make. Up until today it has been like this. I feel like I am not part of the family.
Today, I been officially cut out of the family. Let just say that they made the choice. This will be a story for another day. More stories from my childhood to come also.
Let me know your opinions on the situation.
