Teresa's childhood is something that holds mostly harsh memories and is in very short supply of happy ones. He father died when she was 3 and Teresa felt her step-father never really liked her. She was abused and had no control over the grip of a complete madman, who was hellbent on destroying her life. She felt the only way out would be to check out of life completely. So she ran from memories of life living under  his rules, buried so deep she never remembered or faced it all until she was forced to. Teresa found herself spending many years within mental health care; in fact she is still under their care umbrella. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and her aim is to reassure that through her personal experience in her book titled: "There's A Fine Line".   Learn More:  Teresa Joyce
