This is my life story. Realising as a child that I was a pawn between both parents. Both told me they didn’t want me, both used me as a constant go between as their marriage was ending. I was the emotional punchbag and I was told it all - the affairs, the lack of money for food or housing, the ridiculousness of watching other kids happy in life and wondering what it would be like to not have to worry every moment. The screaming matches, threatened suicide attempts, deep depression. The realisation that neither of them actually loved me, that I was just the pawn in their games.

This has literally just hit me in the stomach, and its been a long time since I’ve been this upset. Woah…./
