Mom's drunk. Stepdad's drunk. Nobody's taking care of you, and you don't know when you'll eat next. So you learn to be someone else just to get through the day.
Then one day you realize it doesn't serve you anymore, and the truth finally comes out. This is who I am. Mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, sexual, financial: I own all of it. This is my reality.
When did you realize your survival mode had stopped serving you?
