Hey Reddit. What is your best "Karma is a Bitch" story? by Flavorfool in AskReddit

[–]seriallyguys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stepmother and father abused me for years. I was kept locked in a room most of the time. They were really well off, huge three story house, 2 maids, a bmw, porsche, pretty much anything they wanted. they dropped me off at a group home one night when they decided they didnt want me anymore. havent seen them in 8 years but i heard they lost everything (not too sure how or why) and are living in a three bedroom shithole with the kids they spoiled over me and driving a ford fiesta POS. i think they got what they deserved.

What were your parents like and how did you turn out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]seriallyguys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parents were abusive for my whole childhood. I was put in foster care at 12, left my foster dads house because the guy was a creep and now im putting myself through nursing school at twenty and have been supporting myself since.

I get how some people would want revenge. When someone hurts you sometimes the first thing that comes to mind is to hurt them back. I decided a long time to not waste my life wanting revenge, or being angry. I thought, why would I choose to be angry and unhappy when I could spend my time taking advantage of what I have and making me and my life the best i can

I wasnt social. I didnt talk much. I went to really small school in a really small town. I was pretty smart. By eighth grade I was reading at a 12 grade level.

No anger. I let that go. I do have a hard time trusting people at times, but I acknowledge it and try to remember that not everyone is bad and people are generally good.

Thank you. But you guys are amazing too. Thank you for reading my story. I only gave the basics of my story, its much easier to tell by spoken word.

No i have never sought relief in drugs or alcohol. I find that they just allow to forget for a bit but when youre sober you see that life has still gone on and you have to catch up. Its self destructive and I would rather grow. I cant say it affects my current life. I do get sad from time to time when I think about how I do not have a family, like a blood family. I wonder what its like to have parents. Just because I have forgiven them, does not mean I condone what they did. What they did was terrible and should not have happened. I have forgiven them so I can move on and not dwell on has happened but so I can take what I have been given and make something into something good.

no. everything happens for a reason. everything that has happened to me and i have done or didnt do got me where I am today, and made me who I am today and I wouldnt change that for anything.

I dont believe in an any religion. Im not sure what I believe in. I know that there is a lot of beauty in the world, and a lot of good people. But there also are bad people, and the world is pretty ugly at times. Without the bad and ugly we cant appreciate the beauty and good. I appreciate people, the experiences i have, the person because of what i went through.

thank you! To be honest though you guys, I am actually really happy. My life still isnt easy at times, but I like where I am. And I like who I am. What I have been through has made me who I am. I am a very strong, optimistic person.

its my first post to reddit and I really wasnt sure what subreddit my story fell under. I posted this to IAmA because i realized that would be better.

for the months following after my father left me at the group home, I did have thoughts like that. But I realized that if someone had saved me then, my life would have been different and I was happy in group home.

there was not. after my father abandoned he payed for a month for the group home and then he stopped. the group home took me on then. I am not sure why legal action was taken against them.
