I was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and my sister was born two years later. Then my parents, who were both alcoholics, broke up. My mom got into a relationship with another man and had two more daughters. Those years, we lived in a little neighborhood called Hazeldale, on the edge of the city of Prince Albert, until my little sisters were about school age.
About five or six years later, my mom got into another relationship where she had two boys. That relationship lasted longer, but my mom and her partner were still alcoholics, and an incident when I was in grade nine broke up our home....
