So. When you went through the nunnery, he wouldn't let her at 17. So she wanted to become a nun. She just wanted to get out of that hell. And she felt like she was so ugly, no man would ever want her. And she was already a horrific drunk by that point.
And he said no. And so she just went and married one of the boys down at another farm to get out of the house. And that husband would not even let her have money or a purse. Also, another alcoholic.
Because what happens is you tend to marry people like your father, right? If your daughter of an alcoholic and ells children of alcohol, I'm trying to explain to you how somebody pulls themselves out of a thing. She was blessed by the grace of God because she was a very religious person and believed in prayer and surrendered to a 12-step program. And there she found her sobriety. She had many kids.
I think she had four or five kids. I think one died, she would have had six and 1st husband died, then the second husband died. And she got married 1/3 time, even, God bless her.
And she became, I mean,n she got every degree in PhD and raised her kids and did everything right.
But the brilliant thing she explained to me was that if people do not fix their injury from childhood. And they don't surrender to God and get off the addictive products that they're on, which are alcohol and drugs, cigarettes, everything and food and sugar, 'cause that's an addiction.
