Independently Raised: Neglected, Forgotten & Underestimated

Growing up in an economically disadvantaged environment, with divorced parents created a challenge as a child. From moving constantly, to losing her virginity in middle school, to becoming a teen mom, life just wasn't easy. Being raised by a single struggling mom and becoming a single struggling mom at age 15, created many painful moments. Experiencing life without a father in the home and having a working mom, left a void that resulted in raising her own self. Without proper guidance, bad decisions were made especially in regard to men. From failure in every relationship from friendships, marriage, and even complications with family members, it was easy to feel neglected and forgotten. Nothing is better when all that negativity is turned into positivity. The only way to do so is to work on your inner self, face the truth, weather the storm, and learn to love yourself. The best outcome in life is becoming successful when you are underestimated. However, to get there, you must deal with some unwanted, unrevealed truths even if it hurts.
