About the Author It took many years and many steps in my life to try and understand and to figure out the things that happened to me in my childhood. The question I keep coming back to is why did this happen? Beginning at the age of seven up until I was seven years old, I repeatedly ask myself why was I born? Was I put here on earth to be tortured, did GOD want this for me? I hurt so much inside. I was screaming deep down in my soul, But I had to be strong. During my early adulthood thoughts of suicide were within me, but who would take care of my children? So I battled that demon and when he passed the demon of alcohol plagued me until I was forty six years old. With prayer to GOD ALMIGHTY I asked him to save me from myself destruction, because I knew I would soon die. To the people out there who ask is there really and truly a GOD for me the answer is yes. There has got to be a SupremeBeing, because no man or woman walking and breathing on this earth could help save me from myself.
