"Hello, I am Chloe. I am in DCS custody because my mother was into substance abuse and my dad was in trouble for domestic violence. My parents fought a lot, drugs were apart of my family and mental illness.
They were never married so no one had custody papers. I had to choose who I wanted to live with. I picked my dad. This has been tough on me and I ended up at Florence Crittenton.
Being here, I have learned that other girls have similar experiences as I do, but we all different. We have all survived a lot of pain, heartache and struggles. We are all stronger people for our experiences. Florence Crittenton is helping me get through my struggles and make me stronger."
