The Wilted Flower

<p>Dr. Teresa Ethridge a native Louisianian was born on January 6 1962. I arrived in the state of California in 1963 unfortunately transitioning from a small town to the metropolis of Los Angeles came with many pitfalls. By the age of 16 I had been exposed to the perils of city life and observed decadence that no child should have been exposed to. Victimized by incest physical abuse and rape I experienced painful traumatic experiences that took me on an inevitable journey of dysfunctional behavior.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
