Dear God, Why?

Everyone has a story to tell and some choose to not tell it like me, until now. Born and raised in Oakland, California with 5 other siblings from the same parents who never married. Mother made ends meet however it was made or what it costed, she brought it home. Cheating father who was a stay at home "Parent" while waiting for the next heroine fix. Which left me, Tina, who had to grow up really quick to fend for her younger siblings mean while struggling to stay alive herself. This is my story and it went a little like this.......

This is one of the most powerful, heart wrecking, beautifully told personal stories I have ever heard. I always had a sense you were strong but you are more than strong to have survived what you lived through (none of it your fault!) and managed to keep being the deeply loving person that you are

I grew up in foster care too. The system is broken.
