mother was extremely abused by my grandmother, as were all of her sisters. Abuse is commonly repeated throughout families, and my extended family is not necessarily an exception, however my mother is. My mother never laid a hand on me save a subtle spanking when I was a toddler. She has always handled our issues in a non-abusive manner, and although I do believe hurt people hurt people, I think everyone has a choice.

Introduction Growing up, I came from a relatively small immediate family that consisted of my mother, father, brother and twin sister. I am the older twin, while my brother is three years older than me.
