A lot of things have changed me; some for the better, others for the worse. My father was an alcoholic before I was born and still is. Because of that I ended up becoming the second adult and parent to my brother two months before my third birthday when he was born. My mom was working back then and I ended up raising myself as well seeing as my father would drink until he passed out and if my brother and I were hungry he would give us a piece of gum and ignore us. He also has a horrid temper that's made worse by his drinking so for years he beat us. I remember it getting to the point that I was literally screaming and he's even gone as far as picking my brother up by the throat. When I was four the migraines started and they were happening daily. My health deteriorated since then and now I'm fifteen, starving to death, wracked with chronic physical pain so bad I've been cut and burned without noticing and we still don't know why. Back when I was four or five we moved and the guys in the neighborhood started beating me as well. I finally snapped one day and beat the guys back and people left me alone after that though my dad just gradually stopped hitting me without a confrontation. When I was fourteen I pissed him off and I seriously thought he was going to kill me. Luckily my mom was able to calm him down before he got to my room but I was waiting with a knife. There's so much hatred there that if he ever laid a hand on me I'd strike back ten fold. Because of all that I don't take **** from anyone and I no longer fear anything. I see no reason to fear things and thus I've become quite reckless. I'm persistant and stubborn now and at times I can be cold hearted. There are a lot of other things that occurred in my lifetime that have influenced different parts of me, but those are a few of the most prominent events.
