My parents divorced when I was young. Both my parents remarried and had children with their new spouses. My parents' new lives did not include me.

My father left when I was in middle school after he became wealthy. He left me behind because he did not want his new prestigious employer and rich friends to know he had a child from a previous marriage and a mentally ill abusive ex-wife. My step-mother hated me due to the drama my mother caused.

I grew up with my mother and step-father. My mother and step-father were incredibly abusive toward me. I often got locked in my bedroom for days. I needed special permission to use the bathroom. My last name was viewed as a curse word therefore I was forbidden to say it. My mother made me do the dishes using dish soap I was allergic to, she laughed when my hands blistered. My step-father forbid me from eating 'his food’ so I ate mainly at school. I often was forced to spend holidays alone in my room while the 'family’ celebrated in the living room. My birthday often got forgotten. My mother referred to me often as 'you stupid worthless piece of shit’. She dressed me in cheap baggy unisex clothes in which I got bullied for at school. These are just a few examples. At 18 she and my step-father kicked me out of the house. At 18 I started adulthood alone, with no job, no money, no car, little life skills, etc.

My parents refused to fill out FAFSA so I was denied financial aid for college. Financial aid for college is based on your parents income until you are 24. I was expected to foot the bill myself while supporting myself on a $15,000 yearly income. Since I had no degree I only could find work at low paying jobs. My mother worked for a university where her kids could attend for free. My mother refused to complete the paperwork then told the university I wasn't her kid. She laughed as she continued to screw me over. I tracked down my absent father and he refused to help me.

My 'parents’ tell everyone I'm either this horrible monster or I'm not their child. They raised their kids (my half siblings) to hate me and believe I'm not family. My parents loved my half siblings and raised them with love. My half siblings got off to a good start in life with their college paid for, cars bought for them, they got to live at home until they could financially support themselves, my parents introduced them to others (networking), etc.

I discovered my father not only became wealthy but became well known as well. He's met famous people. He's traveled. He vacations in Paris often. He became wealthier by the year and sat back as I got abused and struggled.

I no longer speak to my 'parents’ or other relatives that believe the lies. My parents are the most evil, selfish, pieces of crap I've ever met.
