At about 7 years old, Rasel knew that life would be interesting. She went so far as to visualize and document that she would have two children and two properties, 2 cars and…She had no idea at this age how it all would come about.

Growing up, Rasel was a very slim girl that was more loved and appreciated than she knew. That would be interrupted by a chain of events. Very young, she relocated from one state passing many to another. There, she lived with a close relative. As time passed, this relative decided to marry and move which meant her family had to seek shelter elsewhere which meant moving on their own in a big new hard city. Eventually, her mom meets her new stepfather and decide to have more children and move again.

By this time, her Aunt is now here from the south also with a child, her cousin. These children were closely knitted often labeled siblings versus cousins. And they are now introduced to the church world.

Rasel’s stepfather does have other children about the same age as her mother but it was what it was. The church world had its own world of dysfunction and so does the family. From Rasel’s point of view, she seems to often be in the middle of the world now.

You had this group of wounded church families and then this man(stepfather) with a whole world of angry children and family members who resented them for their own personal reasons.

Later, Rasel’s Aunt and cousin left maybe just the aunt and now more than usual this kid is with his cousins or running the streets later. The Aunt actually becomes more devoted later but at the beginning would carry the children to this church.

These church children seem to have grown up in hell just from church alone and so did the fatherless of the stepfather’s family. The absence of protection to the other two groups seem to make Rasel and her family an even more prissy group and caused a lot of riffs.

Becoming a member of this group later made life a challenge and even more interesting; the family was fine until some were merged into the family. These people brought a whole new dynamic into the house. Sexual issues and demons, addictions and abuses that were secretly causing problems. To this day, members are finding out things out each other.
