In reply to the discussion: Where do you get your books? And so you purchase, borrow, or both? [View all]wordstroken
(683 posts)34. I hear you.
Thankfully, those who dont have disastrous childhoods can only imagine what its like.
For me, the slow start motivated me to earn a doctorate in health education and psychology, on my own. With four kids in tow, who campaigned when I ran for the Florida Legislature. (My opponent was a baby trump now that I look back.) Blind poll workers, disabled veterans, excellent supporters. After losing, I took the LSAT and went to law school hence, writing medical-legal novels based on both clinical and personal experiences. Very gratifying.
And now, just being a small part of our awesome DU community is beyond inspirational on so many levels.
Peace and love.
