ASK DR LOUISE
MY LIFE IS JUST ONE BIG MESS
Q I don’t even know where to begin. My parents divorced when I was 12. My father was a polygamist, so we were forced to live with a stepmom who he started beating up and, soon after, she also left.
My half-sister’s husband came to visit often and groomed me into a sexual relationship.
When I was 14, I stole money from my father so that I and three siblings could run away and live with my mother. I went back to school but lost interest in schoolwork even though
