"You'll end up barefoot and pregnant in a trailer park."

Growing up with four siblings was hard enough without throwing a drug addicted father into the mix. I always took the blame for my brothers and sisters, so that they wouldn't get hit. 

As a result, my dad would say things to me like, "You're not good enough," "You're stupid," and "You'll end up barefoot and pregnant in a trailer park." 

I am now 27 years old and have four beautiful girls. I wouldn't change how I grew up because it made me who I am today. 

But you better believe I won't allow anyone to treat me that way, ever again.
