Synopsis
I was born in Sri-Lanka in 1973. I was adopted and brought to Australia with my presumed biological sister in 1976. My story is one of strength, courage, and sadness, of a girl trying to fit in somewhere in this world.
Adopted twice and then removed from a home twice, I was physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually abused. I was bullied as a child and attacked as a teenager. I had great things happen to me and I had the worst. I tried to be strong and sometimes I tried to give up. I was lost in my own world and at times could see no way out of it. I found support in very few people, and the ones who I thought should have supported me were the ones who hurt me the most. My trust in people vanished.
When I no longer lived in the family home, I found people who supported me. I had to learn to trust that they wouldn't hurt me and that they in fact loved me, scars and all. I had to become a strong, independent woman and learn to live my life the way I wanted to, and understand that no one has the right to harm me in any shape or form.
I wrote this memoir in anticipation of people reading it and seeing that there is hope for those who have struggled or are still struggling in their lives. Take each day as it comes, the good and the bad.

About the Author
I am now in my early fifties, happily married to the man who changed my life. I have two beautiful children in their late twenties and we live in Queensland, Australia. I had endured so much pain and sadness in my earlier years, and I still have days where I struggle with my past. I was diagnosed with complex PTSD and anxiety. The diagnosis has helped me to understand the way I think and feel is different to other people due to my traumatic history. I'm still healing from those scars left from my childhood. I found having support from my loving husband, amazing friends and an awesome therapist have helped me immensely towards the healing process.
