Thats awful - every child deserves to be loved and wanted. I grew up thinking a lot of the lies my mother was telling me were true; I only found out when I started candidly talking about growing up with my boyfriend and he started crying. I am so glad that you recognized that they were lying to you - you are beautiful and any family would be blessed to have a little girl.
I am glad that we are all in this world, but at the same time our abusers did not deserve to have good people like us as their children or children at all for that matter. Are you still in contact with them?

Emotional Abuse

My parents were in the habit of getting what they wanted. They wanted a son. When I was born, it was a personal insult. Four nameless days passed because they only had picked out names for boys. In order to get permission to leave the hospital, the baby had to have a name; therefore, a random name from a magazine sufficed. Each & every birthday after I had to hear of how disappointed they were to have me and not a son, how ugly, how weird, how neither of them wanted to get near enough to feed or change the "ugly daughter". The worst kind of abuse is when it is so ingrained that you are completely unaware; I thought everyone's parents treated them like that. My birth was, of course, the cause of their divorce, etc. Any comments or encouragements are welcome.

we learn these lies as children and they are hard to lose in favor of the truth. You are not a mistake. You are unique and have a unique purpose.
