About me

Hi, when I was a teenager up until about 17 years old my life was living hell in so many ways. My parents would argue a lot, my dad cheated on my mom several times and my brother and I were into drugs since 11 years old. Since my home life was in chaos I wasn't happy at all. There were moments when happiness seemed reachable when I was popular when I was on the football team or a part of the "in-crowd" or went fishing or something but down deep I was still lonely and miserable. I couldn't seem to chase the pain away for long periods of time; it would always return during the quiet times when no one was around. My mother finally left my dad and found a guy who actually loved her. Trouble is, he had a lot of money and flew her around to exotic places and romanced her while I was still stuck back at home with my brother who was worst off than I was. I turned to more and more drugs and got more isolated and lonely which all culminated in serious suicidal ideation one night during a time I was trippin' on some weed laced with LSD. My grandmother came to my aid and somehow got me through the night. As the days slipped into weeks, months and years, my grandmother taught me how to love life and be happy with myself. She taught me goals, simple things and simple joy. I could brag about how I graduated at the top of my class in graduate school in Professional Mental Health Counseling and I could tell you about all the letters behind my name. I could even tell you about how effective I am in providing psychotherapy and counseling. I could even try to impress you with fancy words and impressive sounding clinical jargon but that might come across as fake. Let me just say, "I know what's up". I've been there, done that. Remember the rich dude I told you about that my mother met. Well, she finally married him. Dude had so much money he kept it in suit cases. We had Porches, a Rolls Royce, swimming pools, everything, you name it we had it - but it still didn't make me happy. I remember when I was in the first grade I had to go to school at times without shoes; we were pretty poor and then all of a sudden we had all this money. Because of all these experiences I grew to have unique perspectives that can serve teenagers well. Incidentally, I know this is gross to say but as a four to six year old, I was sexually molested by a female aunt who was a heroin addict so I can relate to those of pains as well. Again I not going to try to impress you, I know you're not interested in that. You just need someone to talk to, listen and understand. I can do that for you. I am easy to talk to, I respect you and I give you the best of my abilities.
