I never got to answer because my adoptive mother decided that she needed to argue with my birth parents. Eventually they are glaring at each other and screaming at each other trying to decide who I'll live with now. I start to get angry because they all are acting like I'm not here. So what do I do to get their attention you might ask me? Well I scream of course. I scream loud enough that everyone shuts up and then I take a sip of my drink and say, "Now that I have your attention. Quit acting like I'm not here it says to me that you all don't care about me or my opinions. Beside I'm 18 I can get my own apartment legally. So my opinion is I want to get closer to my birth family. Okay now time to grow up and be nice to each other okay?" Andy then claps for me and I fake bow. I already love my brother. Eventually we decide on I can live wherever I want. Before we all split up I am given all the numbers. After that I grab Andy's arm and hug him tightly. I cry a bit then show him my arms and repeatedly say sorry to him.
Yes you have cut, been suicidal, anorexic, and reclusive.
