"Jimmy" From stepchild and addiction to recovery. This is my story,
an average kid growing up in an abusive world of foster homes,
going through addiction, homelessness, jails and prison, having a
rough time dealing with life itself and a heartbreaking divorce.
I'm not anything special, I just want to let kids and people of all
ages, to be able to relate and know that they're more of us with
the same story out there. I'm writing this book, not because I have
been told I should write my story, but for my own therapy, which is
important to my recovery as an alcoholic and addict, as it can be
for the stepchild that suffers from a life of abuse, alcoholism or
drug addiction. I have been blessed with a good memory, and the
knowledge of how God has been working in my life. I can remember
very clearly from moment to moment, but for time and reading sake,
I didn't write about every little thing that happened, but it's
pretty darn close In this book I mainly keep the focus on myself as
much as possible and as I seen life through my own eyes and not
others, at how my drinking progressed and how hard my life came to
be, because of it; there may be an exception or so with the step
parents and step sisters or brothers through out my life. I had a
rough childhood, but not as bad as some kids I met and were friends
with during my life, but I experienced more than enough to
understand how a hurting stepchild feels. I'm honored to be able to
share and hopefully touch someone's heart out there in this crazy
world we live in, and grew up in, also for the ones that have a
hard concept of family and are alone in life. Men, women and
children alike, trying to fit in and just wanting to be happy in
their lives. Asking the question's I ask myself, "why me?" how did
I get the short end of the stick? Where did I go wrong, and what
did I do to deserve this? I once blamed God for my misfortunes, but
I know now that God has been keeping a strong caring hand on me,
even when I really didn't noticed that he was guiding me along, no
matter how deep and dark it became in my life. I hope you enjoy the
stories of my life and you can have a sense of being there with me,
maybe you had similar times and events that you experienced in the
same fashion? It's not everyday you get to read about another
foster kids life and how you can walk along side with the abuse,
addiction and the everyday heartache of abandonment, or the sinking
feeling if anybody is ever going to care about you. But, there are
good times though, and there were funny episodes too, not
everything in my life has been bad, and I hope that the good times
in this book will cause you to find yours Jimmy P. (c) 9/12/
