data-p-id=0e3d27a8e6f6fd4974a68d1614dacc2d,I don't have that many memories of my childhood.
data-p-id=9adafa37fe810f5b98313479e6e54df4,Probably that's because of trauma.
data-p-id=a3495f95460e12b007257da0a6d18747,I got it since I was adopted by a family.

data-p-id=dd5037148b8c2b46f342522d2018839c,At first they we're really nice to me,probably because every week a social worker would visit,this went on till a month,this is to check if the family was treating me well.
data-p-id=fc339f4303b4b2fb6080c89cafa10227,Since they were nice to me they allowed the Curtis Family to adopt me.
data-p-id=96230204be3eceea473c0635b079f199,But they didn't went to change my name to Nathalia Curtis because they said it's a thing I should hold on to.
data-p-id=313c84534855c9fa00f30733b62e8065,So they respected the decision of the Curtis'.
data-p-id=a6b6e733c3125dc3e12c4b3de57f22a5,They finally we're able to adopt me.
data-p-id=f22c858dfd5ed3e83a1b8d313a05c2b8,All was going well,till they decided to stop the act.

data-p-id=1ac7991f29dd654856e9888e05784435,It's not that I don't want too,but they said I'd be wasting water on cleaning something that would never be clean.
data-p-id=3f401875d131eea80af6e86df430625f,They think of me lower than a rat.
data-p-id=1d87dd83ad7b300b962782157aada85e,Like I don't deserve to live free.
data-p-id=cfde4a893cebec3698c567e746e39256,"Hey you b***h!"Bruno yelled.
data-p-id=5cff7caa2006d35c22eb17b52fb92cec,I just looked to his direction.

data-p-id=79b0fc6036dab481f1ee54fc13bd7373,But there's none left...
data-p-id=c9f606f8e35d9b8d28f5fbc73b866bbe,I went back to the living room.

data-p-id=adfbfa641b4eb61414ed97e34da1f6b8,I was arguing with myself if I should ask him for money so I stood still. He also beats me. There was this case that he got home drunk maybe he lost in a casino so he was fuming mad when he got home so he ended up beating me up to satisfy his anger. I ended up with a bleeding head.
data-p-id=6d542512e5527fb003d0be4c77ad174d,I snapped out when he suddenly yelled.
