Robin Quivers: Modern Day Wonder Woman

“A hard life” doesn’t even begin to describe the heartbreaking story that belongs to Robin Quivers. In fact, it wouldn’t even sufficiently cover her childhood. She grew up lower-middle-class in Baltimore and as a child, Quivers suffered abuse from her mother that was so severe that she would be bedridden for days. The nightmare of her childhood didn’t end there. When she was 11 years old she spent several months being molested by her father. When Rolling Stone magazine asked her about  the hardships, Quivers responded, “I don't know that they made me feel unloved, except that love didn't mean anything. It just means, 'Oh, I look over at you and I feel affection. And now I'll do whatever the hell I want to do.' I have become very self-sufficient as a result.
