About the Book
Almost Unloved
Almost Unloved is the story of a child born out of wedlock in 1956, hidden from all her relatives and given to people who were neglectful alcoholics. Her mother chose to abandon her in San Diego with an aunt to save the two children she loved and went back to Chicago. She had no idea her choice would cause so much damage; it would take a lifetime to overcome.
Something was off; Elizabeth never fit in. They told her she was adopted, but they lied. She was raised by their name, but it wasn’t hers. When she reached out to her birth mother, she was turned away once again.
Who is she, and what is her identity? Now that she has no tethers to them, she spreads her wings and is hurt, used, and abused by those who prey on the weak and naive.
At fourteen, it turns out, she cannot make it alone in this world of predators. They took her dignity and pushed down whatever self-esteem she was trying to gather. A short two years later, Elizabeth’s identity as a victim was solidified.
She made many of her mother’s wrong choices, although she never met her. The Bible tells us, yes, we do suffer for our parent’s sins, but we are not responsible for their sins. Having a child at seventeen and marrying an abusive man, Elizabeth never stopped trying to run away and all she did was carry her troubles with her.
Meeting her birth mother and half-siblings was an eye-opener. Elizabeth would never be accepted into her family of five. One look at Elizabeth reminded them of their mother’s mistake many years ago.
At the 12th hour, before Elizabeth chose to change her life, she fell in love but was too afraid to stay. Worried about her and Tracy’s survival, she left once again, but this time, she was running for a better life.
They took my self-esteem and self-worth and made me question every choice. I was raised around families like theirs, so after a while, I began to conform, but something wasn’t right; I didn’t fit in, so I set out to find my birth mother.
I was raised to believe I was adopted, but I wasn’t. I was raised under their name, but it wasn’t mine, and when I needed my birth mother, she turned me away again.
