The Lord Equips  

     My mom had me when she was fifteen.  She was just a kid, trying to raise kids.  She was severely depressed, and on drugs most of the time, and always in bad relationships with men.
     Our family ended up living in a shelter for battered women, and because of this, me and my siblings were often picked on at school.  I soon gained a reputation for fighting with bullies.
     When I was fifteen I began using drugs regularly with my mom and joined a gang.  She became involved with many different men, and what I was exposed to left me psychologically and emotionally disturbed and confused.  Eventually I left home, but I felt I had nothing to live for.  I often engaged in dangerous driving without caring if I died.
