Growing up with absent parents was hard, but growing up in a neighbourhood where you are the only one of few kids without a trust fund is harder. Mum moved me around trailer to trailer so frequently that I no longer remember my address. Haven't seen my father since he took off with a lady 10 years younger than him.
I was going on a downward spiral until I met her. She was the light at the end of a dark shameful tunnel.

I never expected to be paired with Michael, he was always worked alone. It wasn't into I met him that I finally understood.
