I Have a Crazy Mother

@Coralmist It seems many people who go through abuse from family members end up distrustful of adults.
I was for many years afraid to even talk to women. Stayed right away from them lest they lashed out at me.
I became a loner, going out of my way to avoid friendships, drinking heavily to block out past memories.
I found solace going bush. Spending time with nature and the beautiful creatures in the Australian Bush.
Today I am alone, no real friends.
I have learnt to love the person I have become.
A life of adversity has seen me become a compassionate, empathetic person who attempts to help those in need.
I have had three males imprisoned for child abuse because I listened to the child.
No one listened to me as a child.
Most of my free time is spent away from society, sitting by a slowly running river, enjoying the Kangaroos as they pass by.

@Gusman Dogs make better company than most people. And getting a wild thing to trust you is something to wear as a medal.

@whowasthatmaskedman I do not need the friendship of humans.
I have also found that many humans will take advantage of kindness and rip you off in some way.
The saying, sometimes your best friend can be your worst enemy is true it so many situations.
Limit friendships, limit hurt.

@whowasthatmaskedman So many people use the quip, No man is an Island.
I say bull to that.
Why rely on other people?
I have learnt to do it my way.
If a problem is complex, I find another way to do it without asking for help.
I manage very well being an island.
