Hi my name is emma I want to share my story with people. When I was 13 cps took me and my siblings away from my parents my name use to be haley smith. When I turned 15 me and my little sister found a forever family and we found a better place. my real parents did drugs and other stuff. My parents aren't all there in there mind but I new they sorta loved me but my mom never showed she loved me but she showed she loved my siblings except me.my parents did not make much money for food but we got some food. my mom was always sick she would lay in bed and eat and drink dr.pepper nonstop. My dad was there for me but my mom was not really there for me she pretty much yelled at me and blamed me for no reason. Growing up I would help get money and I would walk to the store and shop for my family and I was only 10 and I also did the cleaning around my house and we just eat pretty much anything that was available for us to eat. 2 of my sisters tried killing me and i still did not forget about what they did and they aren't with me they are split up in different towns. Growing up I would always run to my grandmas house because she was the only family member that was there for me she was my role model when I was growing up she encouraged me to go to school and to stay in school my grandma bought me clothes and food she was the best but she has alzheimer's now and she is 64 and she was not able to take me and my sister but she is still my grandma and I love my new family they are the best.when I was 15 my mom was even sick she got worse and she passed away at the age of 37 on november 7th 2018. there are so many people out there that went there what i went threw and i just want to say that no matter what happens have faith and dont give up on yourself because your loved and you have someone just dont give up on yourself be happy.
