Nowhere But Up: Chapter 4

In this chapter, Pattie goes through a lot of times where she has to make choices, some easier than others. She has to figure out who is truly hear friend and who is just using here. She is taught, by her mom, that crying is never the answer and that she should learn to just get over whatever she is going through whether its a loss or just feeling alone. Around this time in her life she gets into bad things like drugs and alcohol, she feels like they calm her down and that she can get through stuff better little does she know it will cause her and her moms relationship go down hill. After four years of no abuse, Pattie keeps trying to forget about the bad times until one day she is sexually abused again. I never knew this much about Pattie, the stuff she went through is heart wrenching! A lot of you know her as Justin Bieber's mom, but she is much more than that, she is a friend, mom, daughter, and sister. Even if you don't like Justin, you should think that Pattie is a pretty strong women. As of right now I give this book a 10-10! I think it is amazing to here what Pattie went through before Justin was born.
