At a young age, I was blessed by wonderful grandparents and not so great parents. My life wasn’t horrific as some, but I didn’t have an ideal childhood. By 18, I had a baby. I was forced into a marriage by my parents. By 19, I was divorced and doing some cocaine and drinking. I wasn’t addicted to it, but I wanted all of my pain to go away. I prayed to God to just end my life.
