Coping with Real Life Early

About the Book

The book starts at 1999. That is far as I can remember. I was raped and given genital herpes from the guy that raped me. I was taken away from my mom at age ten. I was confused because I wanted to be with my mom. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t go home and live with my mom. I was a confused girl. I struggled with authorities. I was oppositional. I had strong feelings toward my mother for hurting me like she did. I couldn’t understand why she gave up on me, for I needed her. Based on my grief from my father’s passing to my beloved husband passing away, finding ways to cope with my losses and surviving without those that had passed away, the happiness of finding love again kept me going.
