Liliana

She had lots of friends.

She went to parties.

Like some of her friends grew up to be models and stuff like that.

So I consider my mom to be like the popular girl back in high school.

But after high school, my mom went and joined the military, I think for school purposes, because obviously like I come from a line of almost like poverty because my family, they always did things themselves.

Like, oh, I should have mentioned like my grandparents and stuff, the way that they were raised, they were homeschooled.

So, you know, it's very isolated, little one room cabin.

homeschooled they they grow their own food they they have a farm with horses and and stuff like that so they kind of everybody kept to themselves everybody took care of each other and stuff like that but they also did things in the community through their through their church and stuff but for the most part it was like family unit only so my mom joined the joined the air force for school purposes to go to school and while she was there she met my biological father

And according to my mom, this is something that she said with her own voice to my face.

She wanted an exotic baby.

So I don't know if she specifically sought out a man of color or if she just got the idea after meeting my dad.

But my dad is Filipino.

And three months after they met each other and they got married,

crazy and they had me I they were both like I said teenagers like freshly 18 I think maybe they just thought that's what they're supposed to do and get together start a family so apparently they like planned and tried and eventually had me so and there's there's allegations of abuse on both sides according to both of them

Everything was good, and then I was born, and things just hit the fan.

I was a baby at that time, so I can't really say what happened.

I am inclined to believe my father just because I've lived with my mom.

I know what she's like, so I do believe that she would abuse him.

But I haven't spent enough time around my biological father to know

you know if the stuff she said was true as well but there are allegations of abuse on both sides so they had me and they were kind of like on again off again eventually they had my sister which I'll call her T and she's two years younger than me so we're two years apart and she wasn't planned but my mom found out she was pregnant and they were like I said on again off again
