Hello,

I’m from Quebec, so my first language is French. My mother was addicted to drugs, and my dad is a serial rapist and pedophile.

I’ve always had difficulty making friends. I learned a lot about social cues and concepts through books, experiments, and gaming. From ages 0 to 14, I don’t remember much, just a few traumatic events and my life with my grandparents, who were literal angels. I consider them to be my real parents.

In high school, I had to move back to my mom's house to take care of my younger brother. After two years, his dad wanted full custody of him, so I went to court and spoke in favor of my stepdad to save my brother from the life I had.

My stepdad then disappeared, and I’ve never heard from my brother since.

At 18, both of my grandparents died from cancer. It was really difficult. I had to handle the succession, and there were a lot of conflicts that arose in the family.

I managed to finish school because I knew it would make my grandparents proud. I worked about 80 hours a week to make it happen. I found a best friend who’s still there, but she has a lot going on right now, so I can’t open up to her. I also have a boyfriend who’s really insecure. I can’t talk to him about how I feel because it ends in arguments and makes him unhappy.

So now, I have a job, an apartment, a boyfriend, and a best friend, but I feel incredibly alone.

If your story feel the same, please contact me so we can progress together.
