We pull out of our house. We get about two blocks from the old house and he looks at me and he says, I think I'm getting ready to be arrested. Within seconds of that coming out of his mouth, the squad car lit us up and pulled us over.
I'm Andrea Gunning, and this is Betrayal, a show about the people we trust the most and the deceptions that change everything. Today, we're sharing April's story. Growing up in San Diego, April was extremely close to her parents. She'd been adopted by them when she was six weeks old. Her dad was her best friend. I was definitely a tomboy growing up, and so my joke had always been that I was the son my dad never had. I know how to change a spark plug on my car and all of the things within the engine. They had a typical middle class suburban life. Religion and faith were the foundation of their family. I was born and raised in the church. I grew up with Christian values. Church gave April purpose and community.
I have a fierce sense of wanting people to feel like they belong. Being adopted you deal with trauma in the sense that you were almost rejected from birth. So I want people to know that they belong, that they have a place. The church also fed April's passion for music. My mom got me into piano lessons at an early age, and so I always played at church. Her parents' marriage was her model of a healthy, happy relationship. Their love was a positive example of commitment. Even now, after 50 some odd years, half the time they're acting like newlyweds. That's what I wanted. That was the vision of marriage. Growing up, April knew she wanted a relationship like theirs. In high school, I had a boyfriend, and I was very much a one-person girl.
So once I was with someone, that was it. Like, I had blinders on. They were my person. She also had a vision for her career. Her passion was music. She wanted to play in Symphony Hall and, of course, church.
