“The atmosphere of my life was perverted, sexually and criminally. I was sexually molested by boyfriends of my mother, as were my 5 brothers. When my mother mixed Ballantine beer with the barbs, she was a sadist. She beat us with what was available… she shocked us with an electric cord, locked us in the closet long enough so that we would drink our own urine.”

“My mother used to put beer in my baby bottle to pacify me. My brothers and I grew up with a taste for beer.”
