Hey, my names Avery May. I've decided to tell my life story. My parents are divorced, due to the fact that my father has cheated on my mom, my mom has a drinking problem, and more problems they have had. My aunt has been a very important part of my life and took me in as a very young child, considered her as my mom...that is till December 14th, 2014 when I was told that she had passed away. My oldest brother Brian committed suicide when I was 7 years old. I have no stable grandparents, they have all passed away except one of my grandmothers, but she does not claim me. Between the ages of 5-7 I was abused by a former family friend who was supposed to be caring for me and one of my sisters. At a very young age I was diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), it causes me to have anxiety attacks, flash backs, and other mental side effects. I also have bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia (a disorder that causes me to have hallucinations, hear or see things that aren't really there, get very paranoid as though I lose my touch in reality, etc. I have had multiple eating disorders throughout life. And I also self-harm.
