Listen to What Lorrie Morgan Ferrero Has To Say When He Answered the Heroes Question "When Was The Lowest Point In Your Life and How Did You Change Your Life Path To One Of Victory Over the Obstacles You Were Facing at That Time?"
Lorrie-Morgan-Ferrero: I did have a lot of obstacles. I used to not want to talk about it but since you are doing this for kids I have to tell you that this is really important.
I was sexually abused. Nobody back then talked about it. I thought I was the only person in the world. Now, you can look around and you can get help. What I did was I just sucked it up. I just told myself I will get out of this house and I will survive. I will be successful. It was just a lot of inner dialogue.
I was looking back now I realize a lot of it was God. There is no way I could have survived the situation without a higher power. I wasn?t particularly religious although I did pray a lot, but, when I look back, I can tell it was something much bigger than me that pulled me through.
I just want to say to kids who are going through rough times in their homes, it will get better. Just pray and talk to somebody. Find a mentor like this program that you are doing. Find somebody who is doing what you want to do and do it. I didn?t have that luxury. I just had to pull myself through with God and that?s how I did it.
You feel completely helpless. Looking back while I?m thinking, ?Why didn?t you do this? Why didn?t you do that? but, your just, you?re a kid and your locked in. It is a little different now because people will listen to you much more. Back then it was very hush, hush and you have a hopeless feeling.
