"I wouldn't hit him with the hammer, so they made me clean up the blood."

"I'll never forget the smell."

Chey grew up surrounded by chaos. Generational trauma, addiction, abuse.

"I didn't want to leave my friends houses, they had nice rooms, lots of food..."

growing up in the middle of all that pain led her down a dark path.

"I took my first minute at 12 years old."
