I was born in Mexico, into poverty for the first 10 years of my life.

No toilet, no running water. We had to pee and poop outside. No television. only like a s***ty black and white tv with like two channels to watch. Sometimes we would have to cook outside with fire because we would have no gas to use.

Then we escaped to the USA. We crossed illegally twice. So its impossible to cross once, but twice, we did the impossible. No other way to get to the USA because we were too poor to pay for the process. It would have never happened legally. We were destined to die poor in Mexico.

We are now citizens.

I kicked and beat my the dad out of the house at 18 years old because he was about to kill my mom with a hammer. I witnessed domestic violence for pretty much those first 18 years so that was the last straw and I was finally old enough to do something about it. I couldnt blame my mom for letting us witness that for so long, because she too was the main victim of it. I love her dearly.

So after that happened, I developed extreme anxiety and depression and PTSD right after high school and after witnessing all of that and the culmination of it. It was unfixable for like 5 years staying locked up in my room with no sociolazation. I've tried to kill myself 5 times and I should have been succesful in one if those. I've been to rehab and such as well.

I finally sought a job and treatment after being locked in my room for so long because only I could help myself and no one else, I was an adult with my own choice. I'm getting treatment for all those past years of trauma now. Also developed PTSD but everything is okay now.

Its been 6 years since those dark times, and I now make $80k a year at my career, and live in a beautiful town. Hoping to start my own family soon as I now have my own place, my car, and a good job I would say. I wanted to be ready and feel like I am now after overcoming everything. I still feel the pain, but I know meeting the right woman is gonna help me heal further!

So after looking back, I don't know, anyone else had a s***ty past like part of a s***ty movie with a good ending?

i could go on forever into more detail but thats all i got.
