My life is what's shaped me into not only the person I am today, but the writer I am today. If my life hadn't taken the turns, twists it had I don't believe Id have this passion I behold for poetry, and writing. My name is Danielle Ann Hogan, my life has thrown a great deal of bumps and rough patches among my past. At the age of 3, I lost my mother due to Lung Cancer. That's when everything went downhill. My father was grieving so badly he became an alcoholic and before you knew it we were in foster care by the time I was 4. From this point on I then went to 7 more foster homes, 1 group home. As there's more details and heavy stuff about that, it's made me the person I am today. It's given me the strength and wisdom I behold now, and to that I am grateful. I take the good from the bad, with the life I've been dished. It encourages me more so to help anyone and everyone I possibly can, because when I do I get a sensation like no other.
I don't remember much before the age of nine, that's when I met my real sperm donor and decided to see what he was like for myself.i should've listened to my mom, because she was right. Anyways life went downhill from there, he molested me when I was 12, and did time in prison for it. As for me, it was drinking, one mental place after another.I chose to forgive him when he got out and he raped me when I was 19 after having sex with my friend.I went to prison for choosing to be with an alcoholic abuser and he was not letting me have custody of our kids.But even after all that I'm doing ok now I've moved out of state and have a wonderful man by my side whom I've known since I was nine.So I believe that patience is the key in healing and you shall have happiness after that.
