Since they were so young when they had my sister they really had to grow up and face their responsibilities at an early age. My mom made it very clear that she got in arguments with my dad a lot more after they had their first child…
of the things that happened in Jeannette’s life was that she and her family kept moving around because her dad couldn’t keep a steady job, her father being an alcoholic, and many other things.
