My Story Of Hope

My story started when I was about five years old my mom got married to a guy named Peter which we later found out was a mongrel (Gangster) My brother and me was against the idea of mom getting married to someone we dont know so as time unfolds my mother opens a tuckshop soon after that my stepfather started selling beer this was verry new to us see that we were three children not knowing what was surrounding us we grew up in the st montague where we went to the baptist church few years went past and we got used to the circumstances surrounding us at times my brothers had to serve whateva we were selling me as well i started liking my stepfather until he threatens me and my brothers saying that if we dont serve the people we wont get  something to eat then we started hating him with every bone in our bodies we had to serve people with alcohol, drugs and stolen stuff so just two years after that we were so used to this lifestyle didnt go to church anymore and my stephfather starts to fool around with other woman my mom deserved so much better he would hit her time and again just to make his guilt go away and one day while he was beating on her i just had enough and stood in the middle and since that day we started figthing back as a family by this time my olderst brother was in jail for robbing someone few years after that my second youngest brother started using crystal meth and then the youngest one went to jail and i was all alone with no support system i failed matric got married at 18 years old but looking back at my story i realise how gratefull i am to be alive to be me to be gratefefull to say thst i am not a drug addict and and i am a better person because of my curcumstances so guys and gals if you out there going through what i made through then sit back and think about what you want in life strive to be what you want to be and be the best u can be for yourself and others cause today i am a proud mother of two married for nine years i have my own bussiness an remember if you snooze u loose love monique
