tough life

This life has never been an easy way. Everyone has to struggle to survive and to be success in life. I have been struggling since I was a little kid. Most of my childhood time was a nightmare. I don't even remember most of them but it does make what I am now, a strong woman. It also makes me realize why I'm so deadly unemotional. But the sad part is watching someone becoming you and nothing you can do to stop that from happening. When my mom left me with my nephew and nieces, I realize something that we share in common. 

The story is a little bit different and it's not the same case but still these kids have a tough life and will be struggling like me till they grow up. They've been abandoned by their birth mother and their father just out from prison last year. And after few months enjoying his freedom, their father has spent more time playing video games than spending some times with his kids. They're lucky that they still got us: my mom, dad and my siblings. But the way my siblings treat them are just as same as we treat each other. No wonder they had been in silence every time I gave a ride to them to school. When I looked into my niece's eyes, I saw myself when I was her age. And it was a helpless feeling. I just hope that they will become stronger than me and not doing something stupid because they feel alone such as overdose pills like I used to do.
