It all started in a town called Alexandria, Louisiana on the corner of Rapids Ave . We stayed in a 3 bed room 1 bathroom house with a house of 5 people , my mom ,my step-Dad and 2 sisters, and of course me.
I always thought about life without girls in the house and brothers instead ,but don't get me wrong I love having sisters ,to protect them and be there when they need advice about life and to run all the boys away. I couldn't imagine living my life without them.
Mama worked 2 jobs for as long as I could remember so she was barely at home. I had to learn to be responsible really fast in my life. I had a good childhood but after about the age of 6 or 7 I had to learn to take responsibility for me and my sisters. My mama taught me to be strong and independent early in life and I Thank her for that.
I never really liked my stepdad because I never agreed with the things he did and how he handled stuff . I never looked at him as a father figure because he never gave off those father figure characteristics.
I didn't think he was right for my mama because she was a strong independent women and he was a weak person that always had an excuse for why he can't do something and never accomplished anything in life. I don't blame him for being like that because his parents wasn't there for him in his life he was in and out of jail from the age of 16 and always was into trouble.
That's the only part I understood with him because my mama changed that, she made him a little better than how he was raised. But that's not my fault.
My real dad was never there for me except for the first 5 years of my life "what my mom said" he was in and out of jail most of his and my entire life. So I never really had anybody to look up to for help or advice.
