Summary

I grew up under my Presbyterian pastor father’s strict ruleβ€”no cards, no hugs, no β€˜I love you’—and felt painfully unloved. By age nine, I half‑heartedly tried to end my life amid bullying. Desperate for acceptance, I turned to stripping, prostitution, pornography, and chronic masturbation to numb my orphaned spirit. In college, all restraints fell away: I chased every drug, overdosed, and faced crushing fear and confusion over my sexuality. Through every dark choice, a still, small voice whispered that my identity lay elsewhere.
