This series of posts continues to be one of the most powerful, heart-wrenching stuff I've read on Steemit. It's awesome that Steemit provides you an avenue to pour out your soul. I sincerely hope that you find some catharsis in all of this. The intro with the teacher really struck a chord with me. I'm glad that you're finally letting your guard down here. I'm looking forward to reading more of this.

I can't even begin to imagine what living must have been like. This is incredibly powerful stuff. I'm looking forward to the rest of the story, and knowing you're here today, telling us about it, just means that you came out the other side. I'm glad to have you here, boss.

There are many out there that have been through much worse but when you're a kid it feels like the worst.

Homeless children remain to be a hidden epidemic in the world. People tend to treat the homeless as screw ups that self-destructed.

I was one of the lucky ones. I made it out.

This is hands down one of the most impactful stories I've read on Steemit. I'm biased because I shared a similar upbringing, but still it is such an accurate portrayal it brought me back to places I've made peace with but still hurt. Thank you very much for this.

It's funny to think back about how these things make an impact on our lives. At the time it's happening you don't even know you're going to make it through it. It just shows how we can overcome any obstacle great or small as long as we keep pushing forward.

Hi kryptik, do you really just want feedback? You seem to be doing fine. ;P I think the style of writing relies upon emotion, drama, and realism, so the specifics of the syntax and whatnot aren't very important. I do think that events kind of jump from one to the next without strong transition, and there are some errors like "helping it's residents" -> its, and "She was struggling to breath" -> breathe. But I also think the simplicity is part of the strength with your story because the events themselves carry it.

Well that's a combined effort of a ninth grade education and the autocorrect of the tablet I write on working against me.

Noted.

I really admire the proficiency and integrity of your writing.

Thanks for reading.

I need to be held accountable for my mistakes!

Very sad story. The main thing that you find forces to live further. I passed through a lot of things in the childhood. I think the events bad with people in the childhood in order that we became the best adults. Isn't present not angry for the whole world. Be a Good man. I wish you all the best that exists. You well write. It is really harrowing story. We wait for continuation.
Personally, I think
The suicide is not an exit - it is weakness.
