Description I'm not necessarily glorifying it, but this started out as Frisk, but then I remembered something. The most I ever hurt another human being, another child, was with a pair of scissors. It wasn't really even my fault, my older foster sister flopped down on the couch where I had accidentally left a pair of scissors. I was so scared because there was a lot of blood, so I ran out and hid in the neighbor's yard, not really crying, but shaking a whole lot. There were police out looking for me so it must have been some time I was hiding, but I felt no relief from the adults when I finally crawled out from the boat I was hiding under and went back into the house. Even the police officer said nothing about it.

It was entirely inadvertent, but she needed six stitches, and the foster mother who formally treated me kindly started looking at me as if I had struck out with the scissors to intentionally harm her daughter. She treated me like I was a hurtful mean child who wanted to hurt her kids and the other foster children. Suffice to say, I had a new foster home a week later.

I wasn't a good kid, I recognize that now, but at the same time, I was a child. I know I burned more bridges than I can say, but, honestly, what kind of world do we live in where we can condemn an 8-11 year old child to the kinds of things I went through? I never intentionally hurt anyone, I always did my chores, I never talked back, but sometimes, sometimes...things like this would happen, and I acted inappropriately. I feel a strong connection to Chara, because I can understand the anger towards humans that I might have developed had I been in Chara's situation. 

I always wore shorts and an oversized hoodie at this foster home. They only kept me for 4 months, three of which were over summer.

Childhood was a pretty screwed up place for me, and a lot of kids like me. I've taken what's been thrown at me and managed to let it dictate my actions in the positive, but I'm not going to condemn those who cling to their (very understandable) anger and resentment. Sometimes, that's all you have the mental energy to focus on.

I remember the analogy about the twin boys with an alcoholic father. One became an alcoholic and one became abstinent. They both said they watched their father as to why they did or did not drink. In this example, the moral is something like "be positive" or "have a positive outlook and be the bigger person" but what people fail to realize is that both twins' points of view are valid. Sure, one way of coping might have more negative side effects, but that does not invalidate the alcoholic twin's point of view. Each of their points of view is wholly valid to them, and that's what matters. Now, if the alcoholic twin wishes to quit, I'll be ready to help him, because while valid, it is manipulative. 

I'm so sorry this response is so long, but yes, I've come some ways, but deep inside I feel sadness and hurt and resentment, and I know that those feelings are valid, whether or not I express it.

Thank you for being such a sweetheart and letting me know you see these things and care so much!
