Out of a Secret Darkness

A baby girl named Linda M Carleton was born in May of 1966 to her parents Erwin J Carleton and Edith M Carleton. On that day, she enters into a world of darkness with abusive conditions. As a child, she grows up witnessing and enduring neglect and child sexual abuse. The ill-treatment she suffers throughout childhood unknowingly affects her mindset.

As a young woman, she has a dysfunctional mindset regarding adult life, relationships, love and sexual behavior. And this mentality became so embedded in her patterns of thinking that it didn't seem abnormal to her.

At the age of eighteen, she leaves home to get married and suffers domestic violence at the hands of her husband for three and one-half years. She ultimately runs in fear for her life and loses everything including her children.
