I don't have clear memories of my life before I was 10 years old, I don't know if I was happy, if I played, or if my parents ever gave me love, because from the age of 10, I started consuming drugs and alcohol, my parents were users and They never cared, I grew up in an environment where everything was normal, drugs, abuse and illness.
I don't remember well how I was rescued from that place I called home, I only remember that one day I arrived at a warm place, with a lot of light, so much that it made me forget that darkness existed.
I saw smiles, looks worried about my well-being and full of life, I heard words that repeated over and over in my head: everything will be fine. I didn't know what it meant to be well, but I found out some time later.
When I started bathing every day, having a lot of food every day and Hot!, when I slept in a comfortable bed, with blankets and pillows, that was being fine.
I was fortunate to be removed from my family at the age of 11, I had only been using for a year and detoxification was easier. But I know that many other girls have not been that lucky.
Now I've been at Superarse, and I've discovered the meaning of the word home, love and future. When before, I was so sure there was no future for me. Now I am enjoying this new life, with the certainty that Superarse was the prince of a story, who rescued me from the hands of the horrible witch called street.
This is the story of many girls who come to be protected from their own parents, who are the ones who mistreat them.
