My innocence, gone at 10 years old. Rape, molestation, alcoholism, lies, abomination, confusion and insanity. Just to name a few circumstances that I had encountered. It all started when I was 10 years old. How does a person overcome this type of turmoil, what would I have to do to endure. Should I run and hide, bury my face in the sand with my hands on top of my head. Many have had challenges in life that they had to overcome. I am sharing very intricate portions of my life. This is an effort to prove that there is hope for a future of success.
