I am a product of abandonment. Not my choice, but it is what it is. I am a product of several things, not at all nice to discuss, yet I am still kicking. I am not sure what people’s intentions are when they do something, but I am guessing selfishness is at the root of it all. I was abandoned. Correction, my sister and I were abandoned by our mother when I was around two years old.
