The story

Hello my name is Baby Jack, I'm from Hallandale, FL. I left Florida at the age of 10 to live with my father's mother. I went to school in Georgia. I have three kids all are over 18 years old. Well here's my story, I came back to Florida and started using crack cocaine. I got into a relationship and my man friend use to beat me all the time. I started going out making to buy my drugs, but I will never forget that night. I went out with this man, and we were drinking and after the drink I don't remember anything else. I woke up and found myself with nothing on.
