I prefer acknowledging the half and half people, the ones that say sorry for their poor behaviour, the ones that try to boost someone else’s spirits when they themselves are struggling.

My adoptive mother would make excuses all of the time for my adoptive father’s anger and at the time that I lived with them I always took it quite personal. I felt as though anything I did was wrong and I couldn’t make him proud of me no matter what. After I would retreat into my shell she would come and say that he loved me and thought I was selling myself too short. He thought I was better than what I was showing.
