Let’s Talk About Your Secrets
January 31st marked the darkest day of my existence. I was separated from my mother, and my brother was discovered lifeless. The house felt cold and empty, devoid of warmth and food. I was just a young girl, stripped of my beloved family, left heartbroken and in disbelief. -Loretta Johnson
The darkest moment of my life came when my mother coerced me into sleeping with men to fund her drug addiction.
