Maxine Gentle:  

Life since leaving Pacifica I have been married, had 3 children, then divorced. It was a very rough and abusive time in my life. Never knowing this abuse happened before marriage, because we never heard of it in our family.If ever I could go back in time and start over I would go back to when I was 13 yrs old and know what I know now. There are somethings I would never change and a lot I would. Although I have returned to Pacifica several times for visits I have not returned there to live. My family has spread all over Ca, Nv, Tx and Fla, for more info write and ask questions. There may be some info I, or my sisters might have to help someone out there. Lord knows, always manage to return to the ocean. A calling deep inside me? Perhaps someday I would love to live by the ocean again? My only regret while going to school in Pacifica is no one ever really got to know me.No one knows the shoes I walked in, nor did anyone try to know me. I have always been the quiet one in the family. I liked everyone but was different, therefore no bonding or lasting friendships came from school years. Sad to say. I would like to meet and become friends with my past. The door is always open, all it takes is to walk in. Life has not been easy for me...Expand for more
