"Triggered?" Karen asks
"Yup." I reply
"Triggered by who?" Robert asks
"Okay enough questions." Lee states
"It's okay Lee. I think everyone needs to know things about my parents. Adaptive parents... Sorry... Yeah." I reply
"Are you sure?" Lee asks
"I am. I trust everyone in this living room anyways." I reply
"Really sure?" Lee asks
"One hundred percent sure." I state
"So everyone... You can ask me any questions regarding my past life." I state not meeting anyone's gaze
"You we're adopted?" Jeremy asks
"Stolen, actually." I reply
"I know it sounds weird but I was stolen the day I was born." I state
"More like kidnapped." I add and I laugh
"What?" I ask
"Why are you laughing?" Brie asks
"Because it's funny?" I reply
"It's not." Chris H states
"Well to me it is." I state
"Keep asking questions." I add smiling
I don't know why I feel happy right now.
My biological mom keeps calling me the puppy im Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
I asked her why...
She told me because I can still manage to laugh and smile after what I have been through...
Funny...
I don't know if I'm really okay...
But I'm sure that I love this version of myself.
"Did you experience a happy childhood?" Robert asks
Hmmm...
How should I say this...
"It was the best childhood I ever had. You know why?" I state
"No. Why?" He asks
"It's because my childhood is very dark." I reply
"How dark?" Brie asks
"I don't think we should-" Lee states but I cut her off
"My adaptive parents tortured and pressured me while growing up." I reply chuckling
They all then look at me weirdly.
Worriedly?
Angry?
Upset?
Whatever.
"Oh c'mon it's funny." I state and I sigh
"They're dead anyways. They both deserved to die." I add
"What exactly happened? The torture and stuff?" My brother asks
"My parents punished me every time I make a mistake." I reply
"That may seem normal... But as I grew older, I realized that it wasn't... It was abuse..." I add
"Abuse? What kind of abuse?" He asks
"I'll give you a situation... For an instance, If I fail one of my schoolworks... They will punish me... By beating me up, by locking me down in the basement and by starving me. Even if it's just one mistake." I add
