I am in desperate need of Sanctuary. It's hard to sit down and write when going through a life crisis but I feel like there is wisdom in doing so regardless of the audience. I'll start with an honest confession concerning my background; I was raised in a large Mormon household which goes back generations and is very tight nit, also very unaccepting of outsiders. Also not in favor of higher education nor educational pursuits in life. When I was four years old my parents divorced because my father was abusive to my mother, she handled it through church mediators instead of reporting it to the law. As a consequence my father was able to establish duel custody of me and my younger brother.
