...I never hit anyone back, because I was told it was wrong, despite the authorities never standing up for me.
I entered adulthood having dropped out of 1 college almost immediately, spent a decade working for minimum wage as I tried to finish a two year degree part time, and never married.
My point? I don't know. I struggle with confidence even to this day.
But adoption didn't save me from being raised by a single mother.
