She was 5 when she witnessed her mother sucking a man off in a dark alley to feed her drug habit.
She was 8 when her mother tried to sell her for a high the first time
At 9 she succeeded.
She was a witness to the dark sides of drugs.
She was a witness to child molestation as men raped her for money.
She was a witness to her mother’s death as she tried to steal from a drug dealer.
Witness.
She hated being a witness.
