How many kids are brought up in the mafia? Not the ones who are lied to and have a fictional picture of who and what their parents are. I mean how many children have a childhood filled with death, torture, blackmail, and other dark events? I don't know but that is what my childhood involved. But let me start from the begining..... My mother died when i was 3. She was shot 4 times in the back. As if that wasn't bad enough she was shot while holding me. Honestly i can't even remember that day. My father told me the story of her death when i was old enough to understand. She was a casualty of war. My father never found the specific killer of my mom. But he is dead as is the rest of his family and thier associates. thinking back i guess that is the 1st lesson i learned in this thing of ours. When you begin to destroy, destroy absolutely. Becuase in this thing of ours revenge is always sought.      to be continued....
