I bet we could relate on alot of notes. For one my parents did the same fucking bullshit but in a different way. So my birthday was always a month away from my older brother. So my mom and dad always had a brilliant idea to combine the birthdays into one party but seeing as I was bullied all the time and had no friends for the greater part of my life the party was always just for him and resulted in me never having a party or any gifts. Heck I remember cutting my hair with scissors after crying and doing it out of sorrow (it was a weird thing). Instead of a consolation prize my mom screamed and had my dad beat the living shit out of me. This would always happen she would always tell my dad to attack me for anything. And if I ever did get a fucking gift from anyone fuck it I could have bought it she would use it as grounding punishment and take it away asap. He'll once I won a Xbox 360 and she took it for a whole god damn year and then gave it back for two days before taking it again for a whole year then sporadically monthly until she "accidently" lost it somewhere. She did divorce my dad the abusive shit he was but later found another abusive shit who would attack me for no reason and spoke no English at all. And before the call cps call the cops etc etc I did call them all the damn time and they did nothing. Ever just wrote it off and went on their merry fucking way. I remember once I was showing them bruises and the choke marks from when he held me down but nope nothing. I couldn't tell if the count was lieing to keep them down or paying them off. One year in fact funny story i had 1 pair of clothes for an entire year. Same year she bought a luxury car for her boyfriend. Have I said it enough? No? Fuck her, anyhow I had gym and would have to wear underwear on certain days to avoid being nude changing into gym shorts. Of which where always borrowed. Not to mention no school lunches ever, I just sat outside staring at kids. And bullying oh where do I begin, every god damn day teasing. Same shirt same shirt once had. A kid Sharpe my shirt to prove it was the same shirt. Had a teacher fired defending me I was humiliated on local television when a girl complained about sitting next to me and refused to listen to the teacher. I cried, so many tears you would swear the bay was increasing an inch from me alone. No Christmas no birthday no thanks giving nothing. She ditched me in Puerto Rico shortly after moving to Spain with her knight in shining shit. Abusive lieing disgusting wrench. Fuck your parents good on your dad on at least doing something in the end even if it was late.
