    My story is too long to sum up briefly. I have no idea how much any of you know about MLP G1, but in the 1980s, Draggle was more like me than any other fictional character. My home life was dramatic from the start. I was born unwanted - my mother just never wanted to be a mother - and I was the least favorite kid by both parents. Both abused me, especially my mother, and my father left when I was ten and then we went bankrupt annnnd, well, the sum of the story is that my mother abused me from before I was born until I was 25 and moved out. Afterward, she tried to continue hurting me. I have PTSD. I have psychogenic seizures. I was born disabled in other ways, which my mother used as justification to hate me more. The labels of my at-birth disabilities have changed. Eh... Those kids whose parents told them to beat me up in the '70s, well, they beat up a girl who walked looking down at the ground whilst flapping her hands. At twelve, I stopped. I was hurt into "normalcy".

      @draggle I just don't know what to say to this. I can't imagine what you went through. I'm sorry that you had to go through all those things.

        @bigponymac Like I told rainbowdashismycopilot, don't ya worry 'bout me. Good came out of it. Lots of goals and accomplishments came out of it. (I'm working on a Ph.D. in social services. I'm currently a teaching assistant for developmentally delayed students and I'm changing prejudiced attitudes in my students' school.) I think it all made me the person I was meant to be, and yeah, I have heartaches over it still, but I have people who love me and I just know it was worth it because I'm making it be worth it.

          @draggle I'm glad you look at it that way. The past is past and all that matters is what's happening right now. I'm happy for you.

      @draggle I'm going to take a step in a different direction from whats been said: Congratulations. You fought your way through challenge after challenge to the top, and made a life for yourself. While I don't envy the situation you were in, I cannot help but admire your strength, and hope to draw some strength of my own from your story of success. More power to you. #

      @zarkanorf That's why I'm working toward a Ph.D. in social services. Saving young people from abusive homes is something I was born for.
