Minnesota

ello,
My name is Lameesha I am a 18 year old girl living in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my Mom & sister.
I grew up (poorly) with 3 brothers, 1 sister, a ill mom who tried her best, and a dad who was barely there.
We also grew up poor without many of the basic luxuries.
We moved alot, never had a car and barely had enough money to pay attention.
I'm not saying the situation was a complete shame, after all it's responsible in my intelligence, it is what it is.
I suffer from PTSD and Depression, I mention this because these two illnesses are almost imperative in my situation.
I've had many attempts of suicide (starting since I was 7 when my mom& dad were fighting & increasing after my dad left) I need to be adopted. I need the family I never had. My family suffers from mental illnesses as well, almost all of them are untreated or the treatment started so recently it's as if there isn't any.
I'm not getting the support I need to survive and be successful in life. (I've left the house a couple of times and have even gone through emancipation, though that's not the problem the lack of love & support is!) The environment I live in makes my PTSD hard to manage. The apartment we're in is very cramped & unclean , & my mom's schizophrenia doesn't help the situation at all. I feel too scared too function half the time not knowing when mania will break out, My whole life I had to be a grown up with no structure, rules or even support. I feel like I can't follow through with any plans, especially school, i dropped out at 16, this year is supposed to be my senior year. I've decided to get my GED and start up college in January with fear I can't follow through with even this. I'm not looking for pity, I'm looking for love and support, I'm looking to be adopted. I just want to be a TEEN! If you're interested in adopting, please contact me. Which you can do on here or through meagrl14@yahoo.com
