A life transformed and a healing of dental problems
My father was an alcoholic and very domineering. To get me out of the chaotic atmosphere of our home, my mother would send me off to live with various nearby friends for days at a time. Lack of stability and discipline as I grew up contributed to my being an indifferent student at school.
After high school, I tried college but flunked a couple of courses because I lacked proper study skills. A promising scholarship to attend a ballet school didn’t turn out well either, as my father insisted that I quit the dance training after only a year.
Living at home with no prospects for the future, I was constantly reminded of these past failures. My life seemed narrow and hopeless, and I blamed my problems on others.
