The begining

So its probably best to go over my past, so that everyone knows where i am coming from lol

My Name is Sarah was born in California middle of 1982, when I was just a baby my father went to jail for manslaughter, my mother diligently kept up with the four of us her drug habit and her fondness for my brother and sister. After my father got out of a 1.5 stint in the California prison. He decided to move back home, well between his and my mothers drug habits and them taking such amazing care of us, my grandparents decided that they were not the best of parental figures. Shortly after that my father found out about my mothers fondness for my brother and sister, in his drug induced state he loaded us all up in the car and took off. Not saying anything to anyone drove us four states away, I can remember it was drizzly outside, not quite raining yet but still cloudy and wet. I remember my father turning around and saying something to my oldest brother, Joey (age 4 at the time), being two i have no clue as to what he is saying, I remember looking out the windshield watching them walk away. I remember having to use the bathroom (i don't know why at 2 i was potty trained) Joey walking me out of the van down a green hill and there was a bridge. I remember that we were left with a jar of syrup a bag of apples and a hershey's candy bar. I remember I somehow took the jar of syrup and dumped it all over the van and Joey grabbed the belt and told me "Daddy left me in charge and I am gonna spank you" I don't remember if he did or not, but I do remember I slept in syrup that night. I remember this guy coming to the van, i thought he was a taxi driver because that is what he looked like to me. Later I found out he was a police officer, I remember going to this big building and a nice blonde lady helping me shower and putting clothes on me. Looking back I am sure i was a hot mess syrup apples candy bar same clothes for two or three days, I am sure we smelled and looked horrible lol. After our showers and new clothes we were split up, My bothers Joey and Greg went to one location, my sister Jatie and me went to another, I can remember being scared for my life, I can remember the swing set we got for Christmas or our birthday I can remember going square dancing. I can remember being slapped across the face I can remember being threatened I can remember the feel of my Grandpa's arms around me, the way my grandma smelled when they came to visit. We were there for a year, my grandparents went thru hell to adopt us finalizing it when i was four years old. Growing up with my grandparents raising us was a unique experience, one i wouldn't trade for the world.
