i definitely that all things happen for a reason aaaaa. wow both your parents went through alot. i am glad that i lived with my grandmother and my aunt. as a teen i rebelled as many teens do. but i had other issues going on. being a victim of sexual abuse and some other things so that attributed to alot of my erratic behaviors. but ultimately i thank my aunt for the person that i am today. she has stuck by me through everything. she has been my true mother. and i will always be grateful to her for everything that she has done for me. and i also feel fortunate that i have her in my life.
