I was very sick and had sores all over my body. It was worse at night. I could not sleep. My skin was dry and would peel off. This had a devastating effect on my self-esteem because I could not be among people. I had to isolate myself.
Finding out the truth about my father made me feel like my whole life had been a lie. I became a very lonely person. I had a void inside me. I was very angry and bitter because of the problems in my family.
I was ill so much that I could not walk properly. I also had a constant headache. I felt like there was something strangling me at night during my sleep. My ill health made me feel like there was something wrong with me because I was the only ill child among everyone I knew.
