Maisie King’s story is one of survival; her childhood was anything but normal. She remembers accompanying her parents as they broke into the local pharmacy. Living most of her young life in a van, her normal was witnessing crime and drug abuse from a front row seat, something most of us can’t even imagine. Becoming a mother at 16, she set out on her own, living a drug-filled, drug-dealing life that she inhereted from her parents. Her 3 children were headed down the same road, continuing a 4th generation cycle of complete dysfunctionality. You’ll be amazed to hear how Maisie and her children have broken that cycle and have gone on to live truly normal lives. Maisie has traveled an incredibly ugly road and not only survived, but finds herself and her family thriving today.
“As crazy as it sounds, the kids to some point drew a boundary or set a standard of what I allowed to have happen, or didn’t allow to happen, but once they were gone there was no standard, there was no boundary, I could do whatever I wanted, and I went to the moon with that.” 49:50
