I'm entering this for the imperfect challenge, hosted by Tara. the topic is the unexpected, and the twist is paint. before you read the journaling, let me explain my Unexpected at the age of 9 I found out that the man who I thought was my real father was not. My mother and him met when I was about 1yr old. Unforturnately one of his cousins didn't like my mother and thought it would be a great idea to tell me the truth. Well from what I can understand, not what I remember because I do remember being told just don't remember the rest I went into a traumatic shock I was hospitalized because of the news for a week. I was told that I came out of the shock when I was told by my then stepfather that he would adopt me and give me his last name. This is where my journey begins. Now for the journaling on my layout " I always wondered why I allowed you to adopt me at the age of 10. It was because I didn't want to be like Cinderella with 2 Step-sisters. I didn't want a [MEAN] step-father. I wanted to your daughter, i wanted to be loved by you! I was a child who was starving for affection. Who was ignorant to think that you would love me. I knew the truth, you were an abusive and violent man. You adopting me was not going to change that. All you changed was my last name. So many times you used my fear & love against my mother. You said I was lucky, because at least you gave me your last name. Well guess what I hated you with my every being. In an instant your personality changed. You were a loving, adoring father, but I realize now it's because you had a hidden agenda, you were just plain EVIL. Why? Did I let you adopt me, because I wanted to be loved. Was I wrong, NO I was a child. But NO MORE."
