Everyone who had a rough childhood has that one thing that helped them cope. For me, it was my gameboy and playing Pokemon Crystal. I had other games, but Pokemon was the only one that truly captivated me and sucked me into its own world. I could go on adventures with the friends that I captured; I could do what I want unless there was a stupid tree in my way. Team Rocket never scared me because I knew my former stepmom and step sister were worse people, but I at least could escape them for a bit while playing Pokemon.
I completely understand. I grew up and still live in an abusive household, and some of the only things that helped me were watching TV. I loved the Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans, SpongeBob, and the Simpsons. I stayed in my room most of the day and listened to the Beatles and Eminem. They made me feel something besides sorrow and pain. Even to this day listening to them fills me with both bad memories and good.
Thanks for reading. I'm ok.
