Hey, My name is Sami. I used to listen to this song and it let me cry out my pain. My parents are divorced, but it never really bothered me. I guess even when I was real little I knew it would happen and they were better off that way. I wasn't better off, really, however. I had to live with my mom, and though I love her, she didn't really do a good job. She never kept a job or apartment so we were always bouncing around. I was the "weird kid" because we never had money for new sparkly clothes or anything like that. I was sexually molested when I was 9, and date raped when I was 17. My mom had various boyfriends, every one of them she met at the bar. Usually they would come home fighting, or she would unknowingly, and sometimes knowingly, have sexual relations no matter if I was there or not. She didn't care as long as she was getting some. Eventually, I went and lived with other people. It was a good escape at first, but then as I got older, the people I lived with wanted things in return. I also started feeling like my mom didn't care about me because there were times when I didn't have anywhere to go while she had a permanent residence where I couldn't be. She didn't care. I got into trouble, which made things worse. Then I couldn't go where I wanted because of probation, and that made it harder to find a place to live. That's not even the HALF of what I've been through! I'm 19 now, and I haven't lived with my mom since I was 15 (and periods of time before that). I am just now starting to get on my feet. I found friends that were actually worthy of trusting, and they are helping me out, with no complaints or demands. I just took my GED test, studying to get my driving temps., and about to take classes for Phlebotomy. I haven't had an easy life, in fact, this is the first time since early childhood that I've been truly happy. I used to listen to "Wonderful" and think that I would always live my life in misery. People I used to be friends with who knew my situation, would tell me it would get better and it's not that bad. Nobody really knows how bad someone else has it until they've walked a mile in their shoes. But if you really try, and you really don't want to turn out a certain way, like your parents, then you won't be like them. The fear alone is enough for that not to happen. Things can really get better though. I'm truly sorry for everyone who has had to go through a lot of bullshit. Children are precious and don't understand things so clearly. If you're a parent, please protect your child from yourself. I know that sounds kind of harsh, but the choices you make are likely to effect their lives for a long time. And please, please, never make promises you can't keep. Or lie when you don't know it won't hurt. If anyone wants to talk to me further on this subject, you can email me at: . P.S. Another good song to listen to is "Welcome To My Life" by Simple Plan.
