Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close.

My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me.
