Happy Birthday Nathalie_emily, and you are not the only one whose birthdays are ruined by family members, I doubt any drama in the world could compare to what happened on my 16th birthday - so pull yourself through. You'll make it, no one needs to tell you they love you for you to feel special. You deserve to have more than what you're given. And only YOU can give yourself that worth and value.
The one person you cannot avoid is the one person you need to please. YOU.
What I can't say out loud:
M - I really think you're going to fail yourself if you keep doing what you do right now. Quite frankly, I'm damn sick of you being so pathetic and weak - and I refuse to spoil you the way you want it.
