Overcoming a Legacy of Domestic Violence
and Drug Abuse

Charlotte Madlock

It's very hard to remember a time in my life when there was no violence. I guess if I close my eyes I can go back to a time when my dad traveled and was home very little, it was just my mom and the four kids. But by the time I was seven we moved to California because my dad found a job where he could be home all the time and the terror began that would almost destroy my life.
