Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I have been going through my profile and journal wondering what I can do to make it complete. While going through my journal I realized I haven't talked about my past on here. I guess I never really was comfortable with it, till I read some of my friends journals. So here it is, the life I lived through.

I was born in Wells, Minnesota. A small town in southern tip of minnesota.
My mother and father moved us to Springfield, Missouri shortly after my birth.
Truth be that we probally shouldn't have moved, both my mother and father shortly got laid off at their jobs by the time I was 5 and for two years we became dirt poor. My mother couldn't get another job though I really don't know why and my dad turned to selling 'weed'. all the money he made went to keeping the house we had. As a 6 year old child I held up a sign at a nearby highway into the city asking for food. Most of the time people would give me something but if that didn't work me and my mother would go dumbster diving.

Then came the day a drug deal went bad at my house. My memory is still fuzzy from that day, all I remember is a gunshot, my mom screaming and then the cops coming and taking my dad away.

((I do need to go so I will contiue this later in my next journal post))
