Have faced childhood trauma. Being a foster child wasn't easy and it took time to understand and for reality to sink in. I am a single child with strict, overprotective and orthodox parents. Battled loneliness as there was no one of my age to share and vent out.

My relations with parents and others began to sore merely because of my low self confidence. Have always been an introvert and never been open about my feelings with anyone. My one sided love is still on and not giving me that confidence to open up with the fear of rejection. 
But I am over it and have understood that everything happened for good.
But even now, there is a stigma in the society and acceptance is not everywhere.

In adolescence, I misunderstood people to be caring and concerned but in reality they were only sympathising and nothing more. Blindly trusted people and later experienced betrayal. Had failed relationships (toxic, abusive and long distance) and through experience have emerged wiser.

End of the day I understood that not by blood,  mere love and understanding is the biggest bond. My parents are my backbone and my love to them is eternal.
