I was born into a big family with more than enough love to go around. It was a very happy home and for the most part we got along well. I kept what was happening to me a secret until I was seventeen or eighteen. Secrets like those really messed my head up. I turned to drugs at an early age to escape the reality I had to deal with. Depression sat in at a very early age though I found ways to hid it and be "normal". i had my first of five children at sixteen, so, we grew up together. For many many years I lived with a out of control drug problem. In and out of relationships some of which were abusive. I don't know exactly how long I lived this way but I thought it would never end. I married a couple of times, moved around a lot, and really never had a place to call home. Shortly after my first grandchild was born I moved back in with my parents. that's when things started looking up and I finally had a place to call home. Fast forward to now... We moved to Arkansas in December of 2023 and now I'm loving life.
