It's A Long Life When Things Don't Go The Way You Plan

Hi everyone and anyone reading,
I'm new to the 'blogging world' and this is a story about my life and what I have been through.
I'm Drake and I'm a 15 year old transgender male from Florida and now live in Austin Texas.
There is a long story about that but I'll get to that a other time..

So lets start in Florida. In Florida I lived with my brother Josh, cat, mom, and step dad (me and my brother call my step dad Mr. Joe).

When I was little my mom was married to my brothers dad (my old step dad, Peter)
I was abused by him in all ways. I told my mom this at the age of 12. Soon after I told my mother that I was gay, but after lots of research I found I was transgender but my mom didn't take that well. Transgender means I feel like I was born in the wrong body and in my case should have been born a male. Mom didn't like this and was hard on me for it. The sad part is she doesn't even know she is hard on me for it. Mom is neglectful to me and my brother, like when we need summer clothes she goes and buys my step dad something. If I say or do one little thing wrong it turns into something big. I got more of this bad treatment than my brother because my brother is mommy's angel and, well, just because I'm trans.

Every chance I got I would be at my mimi's  and granny's  (granny is my moms mom and mimi is my dads mom). My dad lives in California so he doesn't have to pay child support. The good thing is he could just give up his rights and be done with it (me) but he doesn't. Dad and mom never got married.
Its a long life when things don't go the way you plan but that's life. I lived at my granny's at one point but I'll save that story for a other time.

Now that you know about my life and are filled in on who is who let me tell you more on why I wanted to start this blog. For people all over like me that have or are going through hard times, I hope to inspire people with my story. I want to help people know that they are not alone and make a difference in the world. I pulled through and I still am so why cant you? I'll try to have a new post every week to tell you more about my life and things that have and are happening in it.
