Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.― William S. Burroughs

My living situation would become one of constant change and upheaval, a revolving door. Before the age of four, I would live at different times with my mother, my father, my grandmother, my great aunt, a foster family and a welfare family. There was no stability in my home life. In between, I was in the hospital.
My mother did not know where I was since my father had taken me for his ‘visit in the park’. She was desperate to find me. She immediately contacted the police but was told she had to wait at least 24 hours before anything could be done. The following day she obtained an arrest warrant for my father but was told that it was only valid in the State of New York. Then she went to the New York Bar Association and family court for legal help, but was told that until she knew where I was, no legal action could be taken.
