Some statistics show abusive parents are results of abuse.

NOT TRUE! Having a mother that wanted nothing to do with me and fighting the dogs for scraps under the porch, put a burning desire of survival and determination in me.

My abusive foster parents said I would not amount to anything because I was dumb and stupid. Determined to prove them wrong, I became a certified welder, pipe fitter, crane operator, fabricator, and mechanic.

Little did they know I would be an ordained minister and pastor two churches. Hold tent revivals, and home bible studies with life changing results.

This world owes me nothing. My resolve and determination is still going strong.
