(#4972) Deborah C (Brunswick, GA)3/10/2013 in Albany, GA EVENT: 16th Flint River Roundup TYPE: AA, Female, Story
Sober 16 years since 9/16/1996, Deborah said that her life in the past seems like somebody else's life.
She grew up in an abusive home on many levels with a mother who was alcoholic with borderline personality disorder and a grandfather who was a minister who sexually abused her.
But they had to look good on the front row of the church.
She learned to live a double life.
