I was born in the capital of Canada (Ottawa), my mum never figured out who my Dad was because she had sex with many different guys when she was in high school. Her getting pregnant with me was an accident and her parents wouldn’t allow an abortion so I was born on August 25th 2005.
Within days of giving birth to me she decided that I wasn’t worth it and she tried to starve me and my Grandmother fed me instead. She was basically my mother until I was four. She died in a car accident and my parallelized grandfather tried to take care of me but it was a struggle for him so he gave me back my Mum who really hated me.
She abandoned me twice but some kind stranger always brought me back to her so she left me in a full bath and went on holiday. I almost drowned but her boyfriend at the time had forgotten something or another at my Mum’s apartment. (He didn’t live there and had no idea that I existed) he was going to use the bathroom whilst he was there and found me, he pulled me out and watched my mum be arrested.
I was put in the foster care system and was adopted when I was five. A Scottish family that lived in the Canada she thought that I would make an asset to their family of four. They already had two twin boys the same age as me (Callum and Scott). A year later I got diagnosed with ADHD and my now parents and siblings were incredibly help though the whole thing, from starting school and everything else.
Eternally grateful
