Brett, I can’t tell you how much your story affected and impressed me. My son is in a prison “rehab-program” and I’m going to send him your story. Hopefully it will (finally) help him to see that life can turn around if you really want it to. Pat yourself on the back for changing your life and for the other lives you’ve changed. I appreciate it more than than I can say. Lisa

One of your best. So proud of you Brett and I wish you the very best of luck. You have a wonderful family – your stepfather is one of my favorite first cousins – and we are your cheerleaders. We have strong shoulders and they will always be there for you to lean on – Take care of your nice husband and those precious boys. Much love and keep up the good work. Annette Mitchell

Thanks so much. It is hard to realize that it’s really none of my business what others think of me. It was very difficult to return home after 7 months and hold my head up. There were a lot of people that assumed i had up and left my kids. What they didn’t realize is i went to repair the damage so that i could return and be more of the Mother that they needed. 7 months was just a very small slice of time in comparison to what it could have been.

Such a moving testimony. Thank you for sharing such an emotional time of your life. I know the feeling of “being judged” and I’m so glad that I finally learned it doesn’t matter what they think. It matters what I learn from my mistakes and how I choose to take the next step. May God bless you and your family. Now, I’m off to repair my makeup…
