Before...

Sudden loud noises. Raised voices. Beatings. Screams. Broken bottles. Food being so close... yet out of reach: starvation. Older brothers. Locked away: neglect. Dark basement. Harsh punishments. Struggling to survive. 0-3 years old. Constant fear. Unknowing. Desperate.

After...

Adoption. Freedom. Love. Attention. Food. Separation. Little brother. Affection.

...these are the things my early childhood consisted of.

Hi, I'm Alyssa. Well... I used to be Alyssa. This is the story of how I got to where I am today. This is my story.

I was born into an abusive household. I was there until I was adopted at three years old. My little brother, Xander, was there too. He was adopted into the same family as my brother. He was 18 months at the time.

Then there were our older brothers: Damian and Lucian. They're twins, two years older than me, and identical.
