My Name

Why I was named this name ,so that my father would be happy.He was young & stupid only 19 without a job when he got married. My mother

was working in some office,when father didn't want mother to work anymore while she was having a baby.Thats when all the problems started.They even fought over the name.Why did I have to be name after

her mother-law whom she really didn't care much about her and her daughters.The name TERESA had no meaning to me.The women I was named after did not give too shits about me.Then when mother would be angry at father 'she would take it out on me.So that name did not give me any good feed back.She would tell me I look just like father.That ment to me that I was not a good person.She would never tell me I looked like her.

my parents always fought over something.It hurt so much to see them fight all the time.My name never felt like love more like hurt.I became so bitter Iwas like an only child even thought I had a sister&brother I was always fighting with them.They could not do anything right
