Wikipedia Biography (from the Greek words bios meaning "life", and graphein meaning "write") is a genre of literature and other forms of media such as film, based on the written accounts of individual lives. While a biography may focus on a subject of fiction or non-fiction!?, ..the term is usually in reference to non-fiction. Pat Shipman however, says "I think a good biographer has to write fiction some of the time to make apparent a significant event in someone's life." This is sometimes debated. As opposed to a profile or curriculum vitae, a biography develops a complex analysis of personality, highlighting different aspects of it and including intimate details of experiences. A biography is more than a list of impersonal facts like birth, education, work, relationships and death. It also delves into the emotions of experiencing such events.

I WAS RAISED BY COMPLETE STRANGERS

• After a period of time with this elderly couple, they decided that a younger individual should take on the responsibility of raising me, so they sent me to live with their son, Don Husted who ignored me from the start and who denied being my father.

• For all practical purposes I was and remained an orphan, because I was never adopted by any of these three different groups of strangers. At no time did any of these people refer to me as my parents or other members of a true family. Also, I was never asked by anyone to address any of them as “Mom” or “Dad,” and I was never described as their son.

• I led a traumatic and abusive existence with all of these strangers, and because of that I was anxious to shed the name that had been given to me early on. I was finally able to do that after learning more about my origins as I grew older.

If you, like me, had been raised under these conditions, wouldn't you also realize you were not living with your true family?
