I had to wait until I was an adult before I learned that every Mother didn't say hurtful, cruel things to their children. I was always the reason my Mom got "sick headaches". Usually because I was covering for one of my younger brothers or sisters. I wanted to spare them as much as possible.

My Mother told me my whole life that her birth experience with me was the worst that ever happened to her, and I was the ugliest baby she had ever seen, and refused to see me or hold me for three days. She was forced to take me home.

I was a forceps baby, and apparently had forcep ridges all over my head.

Anyway, it's taken a lot of time but I've started to heal from that. Also my nickname when I was a little girl was Toad. Can you imagine?

Pretty normal for one so screwed up!
