I was raised in an economically and emotionally starved environment. First time I got to go to a camp with my sister I was abused, wasn’t the first time I was abused, though, it was just the most aggressive. And my mom and dad – they married each other three times, yeah, that was tumultuous and when they weren’t fighting they were helping sober up some alcoholic that was living with us because they were both sober alcoholics.
So my mom abandoned us when I was sixteen years old. And I took on a role of caretaker of my home and of my siblings. And I married. I met a man. Fell in love. I went to a year of college. I did what every single bright young girl should do, so I got married when I was eighteen years old.
