Grew up in a dysfunctional family. Was often left to my own devices. No complains or regrets about that. My dad died when I was 12. I turned to drugs at a young age. Was able to stop the drugs. Met a man who was much older than me who was very abusive. Stayed with him for 6 years. After that, I discovered freedom again and I lead a happy, healthy life, married to a man who has few flaws.
