We were poor and it was eight of us in a one bedroom house in 1963 my mother was abused by two men before she died. I went to school and was a seventh-grade dropout and lived off the land by any means necessary. I lived a rough life but I went to the army in 1973. After four years of that, I started going to prison but now I’m clean and sober now for 11 years.ver menos
