an upper middle class family you would never expect inflicted cruelty on children
Adopted Mother
I was told every day that I was a mental deficient just like my real mother. That I was nothing and would never be anything. I was told that I was the most ugly child they had ever seen. I was beaten, strangled, whipped, publicly and privately humiliated. I was locked in a room and not allowed to socialize. I ran away at 16 and went to court to declare myself an emancipated youth.
