Awesome, I can totally relate to the dad thing. I've never really had a problem with friends, right now I know some pretty great people. My heart goes out to you, and I'm so happy that you got a profit out of this! Thank you for sharing you story, and that's OK that it has nothing to do with mine, it still helps none the less. Thank you all so much for support, you exceeded my expectations and more!

There's an old saying that goes like, "It's not where you are, it's where your going." When the times get tough I stick to that. I'd also recommend getting on some kind of work out program or go for walks or do anything involving excersise. It's very motivating and it makes you feel great.

Well, I knew it wasn't the same or even similar but the basic principal is I overcame horrible family life and not so great childhood and made something of myself. I know that if I can do it so can anybody else.

You know another thing I think about every now and then, and this sounds kind of stupid but none the less it motivates me, is Elvis Presley. Here's a guy that died 30 years ago and is still a household name. He had everything most people dream of, fame, money, God given talent, a loving family, access to any woman he wanted, and friends. And yet he died on a toilet doing drugs to excape the very thing most people dream about! He wasn't happy with himself and he had access to everything and anything he wanted. My point is your happyiness isn't determined by those outside of you, it's determined by you. If your not happy there are ways to change that. But because you've got a bad family situation or you've had a bad start in life does not determine the future. Every day you wake up you have an opportunity to change the course of your life and if those around you don't appreciate you for that, that's just there problem.

Yeah this website is awesome. I just found it about 6 months ago but I wish I had a resource like this when I was your age.

It definitely helps, that's for sure! You really don't know how much people care until you can really see how people rush to help a complete stranger!
