Growing Up

Letting people know about growing up and being born to alcoholic families is not easy. You can overcome this and not do what they did and learn from their mistakes. Learn to cook and clean. Learn to survive. Im grateful I did.

Keep your grandparents close by. Dealing with the abuse in our life was hard. No family member can touch you in a sexual or physical way. Learn the right from wrong, and learn how to survive.

Thank you, God, for Im a survivor.

Report abuse, and dont wait for it to happen to you. There will be a lot of stories in this book that will upset you, written by me and are true. Getting married is not how its all cut out to be and also if you have children.

My family went through lots of bull, raising children with a father who is out playing around. I hope you get a lot out of this book and see what life has in store for you.

I drink after all my kids were born, and I followed my moms footsteps. Later, youll see what my marriage was like. And now Im an AA member since 2001. You will read all these and more. Learn from my mistakes and dont go that path.

Today, 2018, Im eighteen years sober and feeling good.
