Listen as Amber shares her story of a childhood spent in her bedroom suffering from mental and emotional abuse that lead to a drug and alcohol addiction that started at the age of 13. As a mother of 3 life took many wrong turns with a failed marriage, a horrible dating relationship, and her children who suffered and make wrong choices because of it.
