It feels like everyone wants to make us the villains—so fine, they can do that. I just don't feel like I'm evil.

Unfortunately, those last two things do not go together. Yep, I'm a mess.

When I called my father evil, I had no clue how true that was. For years, he's abused me. He had his reasons, but that doesn't make it any better. In truth, it makes me terrified of what I'll become.
