Hi everyone! My name is Anna. Most know me because of the family I grew up in. I no longer consider myself a part of that family. I did come this week to visit and due to legal reasons, I stayed today. I'm missing my flight, I have to extend my car rental and get a hotel room to stay in. Also, food, gas, and necessities as I have used what I had for this trip and can't afford anymore.

This has not been easy for me as Stockholm Syndrome is a real, very real thing and already being adopted, it was hard to believe that I would be okay without a family. I have since being adopted dealt with abuse: sexually, physically, and mentally. I am now speaking up and in doing so, have to do it all by myself!

This is a very hard time in my life as now, I do not have a family. I do not have a mom or dad to call when times are rough. But I've realized I never did, not ones who genuinely cared about me and my well-being. If they did, I would not be struggling in my everyday life. I am 25 years old and can't get through any day without having PTSD and dealing with other mental issues. My cats are ESA and they are back in Washington and I’m ready to be back with them.
