I was like 'Google me, I could have whoever I want!" But really, 'cause I felt like nothing, that's where it came from. Total insecurity. It wasn't about losing my man. I was like, 'Okay, I'm a family woman, and I don't even have one. 'My family was a complete lie, and that's how I felt."

"I was just at a terrible, terrible place. I was homicidal and suicidal, but I told God, 'I know I'm crazy and I know I'm all the way thrown off, but I don't want to be like this. I want to forgive. I want to let this go. I want to know that good people make bad decisions because they feel like they're between a rock and a hard place, whatever the case, you want something but you go about it the wrong way. 'I was like, 'I don't want to hate the world. I don't want to be bitter and insecure and angry. If you can help me forgive and help me see people and myself in the way you see them, I promise I'll tell everybody about it if you get me out of this pit.' And God really did help me. And I found that help in the Bible. So yes I was crazy before I was sane. And I did crazy real good. And I did sane real good."
She and Teddy are in a beter place now all with God's help.
