Andrea grew up in Johnson County, Kansas. She never imagined that she would be the victim of physical abuse and eventual homelessness. Although Andrea’s parents divorced during her grade school years, joint custody allowed Andrea to maintain close relationships with both parents. When Andrea graduated from Shawnee Mission South, nothing in her life’s circumstances suggested that her adulthood would be anything but normal.
I grew up bi-racial in the 60’s and 70’s in Kansas City, but I didn’t find out that I was bi-racial until my best friend told she couldn’t play with me anymore because I was black.
As a child, I was sexually abused by family members. I bounced back and forth between my alcoholic, drug addicted, manic-depressive mother and my well meaning and enabling father. I didn’t fit anywhere. I became a teenage mom in an abusive marriage.
