Been on this planet for more than a few sunrises. Considering my childhood, I have accomplished a great deal. Been a school dropout and at 40 years old earned a AA degree in paralegal studies. Have been involved in political(I.e. Amesty International), religious, spiritual, womens and mixed groups, individual and group therapy, studied with a woman shaman and created 5 very beautiful children. Been married twice with significant issues. Currently, my marriage of 27 years ended. I forgot what it felt like to be fully awake in the present. A new relationship has developed and its important to me that it doesn't get poisoned with my past nor his. I am French Canadian from Prince Edward Island and came to the U.S. when I was nine years old, having been adopted by a New York, Italian family. I currently live in Nevada with my partner, lover and friend. I was born to a violent Alcoholic father and passive mother. I was born at home (i.e. too poor to afford hospital) in June of 1956 along with a younger brother that was about 1 year younger. Records are limited. My brother died when he was six months old. My cousin related to me that my father was violent with the baby and there is a possibility he may have caused it. In my late thirities, after remembering some things, I went back to the Island and was able to access records. What I found out was when I was three I was removed from my home. They found me to be severely malnourished (distended stomach, shiny knees etc.,), cigarette burns on my back and a rope burn around my leg and a large mark on my right hand that left permanent scars. As you can gather, there are mental, spiritual and emotional scars.
