Some may tell you that you are a burden, a struggle to live with, and they may put all the blame for your troubles on you.
Some parents and family do this, but the reality is that we all have a few problems, some greater than others.

Many of people’s mental issues and suffering that torment us come from the very people who point the finger at us. They just don’t want to take responsibility for what they have done. It is easy to point the finger at the defenseless victim, that is the way of the weak-minded predators.
In the book Murphy’s Boy, Kevin was more of a burden at the mental institute that he lived in.
===
“His name was Kevin but his keepers called him Zoo Boy. He didn’t talk. He hid under tables and surrounded himself with a cage of chairs. He hadn’t been out of the building in the four years since he’d come in. He was afraid of water and wouldn’t take a shower. He was afraid to be naked, to change his clothes. He was nearly 16.
Desperate to see change in the boy, the staff of Kevin’s adolescent treatment center hired Hayden. As Hayden read to him and encouraged him to read, crawling down into his cage of chairs with him, Kevin talked. Then he started to draw and paint and showed himself to have a quick wit and a rolling, seething, murderous hatred for his stepfather
Hayden writes very readably. Though Kevin must have been scary, he is rarely scary to her and this is not a frightening book. It is reassurance we all need. In the wreck of this world, love still works. We can heal each other, if we listen.

Kevin needed someone to come to his aid and to listen, to give him hope again, and to help remove all the hatred, baggage, hurt and pain from the past from his sad tormented soul.
Please never give up hope. Someone somewhere can help you.
Be ready to go get help, or to allow the help to come to you.
All the best from
