Book description:
When it comes to an individual, some can be defined as a statistic, while others are made to stand out, backing up the definition of unique. Statistics said, I should have died. Statistics said, I was supposed to suffer from Down Syndrome. Statistics said, I wouldn’t be able to walk or talk. Statistics told my mom to prepare to bury her child, but our God said otherwise. Every statistic that was thrown at me never prospered; instead, the exact opposite happened and what the doctors didn’t expect to happen had fortunately, happened. I struggled with a disability, but not how others assumed I’d struggled; for it was more of a mental struggle than a physical struggle. Although I’m labeled as a disabled person my appearance may fool you. Throughout this book, and more to come, it will tell you why you should never judge a book by its cover. Regardless of whom or what a person may appear to be, looks can and will be deceiving. |
After I wrote on the walls I felt a little better, yet one random day my mom found out about the writing and called the police on me without me even knowing. Long story short, the police took me to the Rainbow Children Hospital. Being under watch as if I was going to harm myself. I was released back to my mom’s custody only to be taken back to the LauraWood hospital, somewhere in Painesville Ohio. I stayed there for a week in a half where I met a few cool people as well as enemies as usual.
My one roommate attempted to kill herself using a sheet; however, the nurses came in and took her to an isolated room. During the stay, I had a chance to talk to my mentor and this time spoke to a different social worker telling her some of the issues that was going on in the house. Other than that, I had fun on my vacation. I was guaranteed my three meals plus snacks, was able to watch TV and had free time. It was like heaven being at peace. The only problem I had was with another inmate talking about my hand and before a fight could break out we were separated except for gym time. A few days later I was released back into my mom’s custody and the depression started again.
Back home I was greeted with the same yelling giving demands, got hit for her having to repeat herself and barely ate. The nights I wasn’t allowed to eat I would eat from my saved stash of snacks. The days she did let me eat it was what she cooked that night but some of it had been in the fridge for up to two weeks. The only thing I looked forward to was school and talk to the few friends I had. Although I was going through hell at home, I never showed it at school nor did I let people know what was going on behind closed doors. Instead I was the same goofy ass people had known me to be.
After a week of going back to school I had another altercation with my mom and after her beating me on my ass with a pole, I attempted suicide using bottles of pills I got from LauraWood and then prepared for death. I was so fed up with the lifestyle I was living; if I had to kill myself to find peace I was willing to do it. No one understood how it felt living like a low life slave alone surviving in the jungle.
God had another plan…….
