    • About Me

      I grew up in Illinois with an abusive alcoholic step-father. My childhood wasn't the best it could have been but I did make it though. At age 18 I moved out of my childhood home into my own house in Illinois until about age 25 when I moved to Missouri. Since I've been in Missouri I have been doing quite well. I do miss my family however as they still live in Illinois. I was also recently informed that my step-father had passed away due to alcoholism a few months ago. Even though we didn't have the best relationship this was tragic news to me.
