This is me at 15 on the old vinyl couch that I miss so much, this was where we three sisters were with two rotating staff members that we had to call 'Aunty', this was just before I was thrown out into the gutter unloved at 16 years old. Broken and damaged from horrors no defenceless child should ever have to go through, I was supposed to be in a flat with other youth, but they took my money and locked it and never let me in they were drug people I was not. I was working in a Chicken take away shop and slept against the washing machine in the laundry room on the concrete if I got back there before it was locked, on Friday-Saturday and Sunday I was always back later from doing longer hours, so I had to sleep over at the lake with my back against a tree. I was nothing-nobody not human, I have never become one!
