Bonnie worked hard to please them, seeking to achieve high scores in school and church activities. But it didnt seem to be enough, and Bonnie was made to feel that she was a disappointment. When her birth mother re-entered her life, she introduced her to alcohol only to abandon her again when Bonnie was molested by her stepfather. From there, Bonnie began smoking and drinking to numb the pain; a pattern that continued well into adulthood and through her first two marriages. She became a mom to two boys, but it wasnt until one of them issued an ultimatum that she finally got clean. She ended up marrying her old (now-sober) drinking buddy, and though their marriage got off to a rocky start, they are now walking with the Lord through recovery.
