Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to post this in a place where I knew all of you would read it. My name is Natali, and yes, SugarShock! (Lauren) is my biological younger sister. I understand that you all have had quite a few issues with her in the past, and I do not blame you for half of them. I just want you to realize, she has many disorders and I don't think it is fair for you to ***** at her because of it. She is very ashamed of half of what she's done, but she can't help it. I don't know whether you all know or not, but not only does she have Suicidal Depression, she also has Dissociative Identity Disorder, Multiple Personality Disorder, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, and she's Psychotic. I also comprehend, that most of you probably think "Oh, this is just SugarShock! creating another account...", no, it's not. If you want to call me, please let me know and I'll provide you with my phone number, facebook page, myspace page, address, parents' names, and e-mail address for conformation purposes.
Lauren has a very complex situation she has undergone so much in her life. I'm not going to go into details, but she has seen it all from suicide of a loved one to death to the various foster homes she has been placed in. This also might be confusing to some of you. I do not live with her, by luck, she found her birth family, in Manchester, England. Her cousin (adoptive), Anjelica assisted with all the paperwork when she was born, and BAM! We are close as can be. Now, you can believe what you want from her, I'm not going to influence your opinion. I just wanted everyone to understand where she is coming from. I mean, honestly, do you think a "sane" child would do half the things I've heard she's done? I have been watching her online activity, but I didn't want to get involved until now. BEFORE something happens to my sis, I love her.
Lauren is actually a wonderful, kind-hearted, animal lover. She would do anything to save the life of any animal, she is just confused sometimes as to what is best. Her parents are not very supportive of her, and aren't in the picture as much as we wish they were. She has been on her own throughout most of her life. I can assure you, each one of her Gliders, Horses, Dogs, Cats, Hedgehogs, Hamsters, Turtles, Fish, Mudskippers and Hermit Crabs are cared for individually and with love. You don't have to forgive her, you don't have to love her, you just should be able to understand a bit more.
Also, please do not "*****" and "moan" at me. I'm not Lauren, in fact, I rarely ever even get to see her (and yes, that is sad). Honestly, if you still feel like yelling and screaming at me after all I've gone through on her sake, then it just proves that you don't care. I'm very interested in entering the world of Sugar Gliders, and actually am looking for my first pair. Do not judge me based on my sis, I'm an individual and should be treated as such.
