During the first 10 years of My life , I was known to be a troublesome , gullible , stupid, and really annoying kid .

It seems like , it was just yesterday I was playing around with my Spiderman action figures and what not .

I dont know if my story will be interesting but it's one I've told many times to friends and got responses such as

* Your life's like a movie * Tbh I kinda think that it's true myself because the encounters I've had in my life the miracles I've faced the Darkness I've went through it seems more or less like the mc of a really shitty novel .

Ashley who's our main character , was born In a traditional family in a backward place in the countryside .

Ashley was the third child of his family and the youngest,

separated from his siblings by 7 to 9 years of age Ashley grew up different from his siblings who had to live with their grandmother for the first 4 or 5 years of their lives .

They say the youngest child gets more love from the family ,

However that was not the case for our mc as even though he was the youngest he was not loved atleast not in a way that was visible to him .

I know what you mean now , How could the youngest child not get loved ? thats ridiculous...

Ridiculous? yes it was ridiculous, Ashley was loved but his family never knew how to show love for a child being affectionate experiencing hugs and loving words are his memories and greatest solace but that was not so for Ashley whose earliest memory was when he was 4 or 5 years old of his father strangling him and lifting him up to the ceiling fan with one arm while strangling his neck .

Ashley was born In a abusive family , Though his father never drank alcohol he was a workaholic .

* Workaholic * a word Ashley would live to hate in the future .

As the Youngest child he did not experience love from his perspective , He did not get spoiled , And to Ashley

his life was not something he wanted .

Ashley's father was a principal in a higher secondary school and a workaholic, Thus Discipline was the only word Ashley could describe his father as.

Ashley lived in Fear as he would normally face abuse from his father under the fake context of discipline , He saw his mother getting beaten up every week atleast once , He saw how his father would abuse everyone from the family not even leaving the poor 5 to 6 year old child under the pretext of so called discipline .

But, The worst part was that Ashley Instead of being shielded by the other members of his family was instead their outlet of abuse and anger .

Ashley Was not loved He was abused , beaten , punished by everymember of his family.

Pain was not a new thing for Ashley by the time he was 9

He was used to getting hit by scales , canes, rulers , slaps by the age of 9 Ashley had already gotten into 3 incidents where his head had bled in school.

The second time he got injured on the head was when he was running around trying to chase a small kitten and he hit his head while falling down the stairs , He got up dusted the dirt off his pants and stared where the cat was last visible , Ashley lost track of the cat so he went back to his class only to find the teacher screaming * What happened !! How's your head bleeding !!!!*
