A True Survivor
So from a very early time in her life, it was Christina’s mission to become a survivor and raise her children, Max and Summer Rain, in a secure and loving household. She also uses her music as an emotional outlet. For example, in the 2002 emotional ballad, “I’m OK,” she sings, “Hurt me to see the pain across my mother’s face / Every time my father’s fist would put her in her place / Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room / Hoping it would be over soon.”

Broken Family
Over time, Christina’s mother had enough after experiencing abuse for 10 years and filed for divorce from her abusive husband. This happened when Christina was only 6. After the divorce, her mother moved her and her younger sister Rachel into their grandmother’s house in Rochester, Pennsylvania in 1989.
