 ANGER

Anger is such a big word it can mean so much in our day to day life. Anger and frustration and hate is what I felt the day that I was taken into custody. I am now living at Goshen valley boys ranch it is great here.  This is the best place that I have been in.  Here is my life story on anger.

I was about five years old when DEFACS started an investigation on my home and on my parents and my day to day life. I didn't think of it at first till they started to come to my school then I started to get worried. Then about three years later is where the real troubles came in, that is the day that hell began.  Well, see my parents were real bad drug attics when I lived at my real home. I did not think much of it, because I thought it was normal, I thought everybody does it. That is what started the investigation on my parents then they found out that we had no power and running water. That is the day that they took me away from my parents on October third.

I was so mad I hated the world and my parents for doing this to me and I felt like my parents had died and I felt all alone and It was hard to find friends at first I thought that my world was over and that I was never going to get out. I would break things and curse and yell to get my point across and I would not stop till I cried myself asleep. That all changed when I found the Lord, and when I moved to Goshen Valley Boys Ranch.
 

My new life at the ranch is fun and I struggled in the beginning but I had friends to pick me up. I was still angry but as they days and months and years went by I lost that hatred and I am a better person for that and I do not blame my house parents or my real parents. I am happy and would not change my life for anything. That is my story on anger and how I over come anger. As my house parent’s say it is only ten percent problem and ninety percent attitude.
