 I was in the street at a very young age. My mother abandoned me and my father abused me mentally, physically and verbally because he believed I was not his daughter. My life was a mess. I hated people, myself and I was mad at God. I came to City Rescue Mission for help and healing and council started working with me right away from the inside out. They found the root of my anger. I love myself now. I forget my father. I have a job and I've been clean for two years now.
