Jackie Peterson's father was killed just before Christmas. Thus,
for her, the holidays became a conflicted and an emotional
time.
2) Jackie and her siblings were pushed by their mother into an
orphanage, and Jackie was separated from her brothers for ten
years.
3) While it is not known whether or not Jackie suffered emotional,
sexual or physical abuse, documentation now proves that the place
where she lived all those lonely years was a "cesspool of
pedophilia."
4) We do know that soon after arriving at this place Jackie
developed debilitating asthma and was at the mercy of her keepers
--- not only for her day-to-day existence, but also for her very
breath since they had control of her medications.
5) Jackie left the orphanage to care for her ailing mother who soon
died, and again she was left alone. Did she have expectations of a
"family reunion" that turned into another loss?
6) In the next few years Jackie gave birth to two children with two
different men and gave up both for adoption.
7) Jackie kept her third child conceived with a third partner
because her doctor shamed her into it.
8) A few years later Jackie married Lee Peterson, a man who left
his wife and three children because he was not comfortable in the
company of his offspring.
