Hello everyone thanks for having me here . I grew up in an Orphanage my mother was allowed to work there as trade for our care . They worked her 24-7 which left us vulnerable to unimaginable abuse and countless abusers . My Orphan brothers and sisters made me tough .. And together we somehow survived . Unfortunately many succomed to drug addiction and suicide and incarceration in their adulthood . I struggled with toxic relationships and countless battles with depression anxiety and side effects from childhood trauma which left me unable to have children . I was removed by social services because I went to public school and slipped through the cracks the others were mandated by masons and were not able to be helped . Unfortunately I was returned to the orphanage . I had 9 years of suppressed memories that returned 2 years ago after surgery . I had a complete nervous breakdown and went into intensive therapy . I attempted therapy in my twenties but wasn't ready to deal with it . I didn't have the courage at that time .. I began journaling my memories and documenting and even returned to the Orphanage to Photograph locations .. I've met with kids I grew up with and created a time line .. I'm writing my story in hopes to expose the institutional abuse and to hopefully help the remaining victims as well as myself . Thanks
