## Background

### 1991 - 2001: Rosalina Basaro

Rosalina was born to the young couple Oliver Martinez & Valentina Basaro. Her mother was born to a wealthy family, giving her access to everything in life. She got caught up in the wrong crowd & began a relationship with Oliver. He got Val into alcohol & hard drugs, eventually getting hooked on heroin. She stopped using during her pregnancy but by the time Rosie was one, she was using regularly again.

Her mother got clean before having Rosie's younger brother, Andre. Val's best friend (also Emmah & TJ's mother) Marie got her back on track by having Val break up with Oliver, attend AA meetings & let her & the kids stay with her in the guest house. Their family was peaceful. Rosie became best friends with Emmah & Andre did the same with TJ. Their mom was sober for a time until she ran into their father again & things were downhill from there. Rosie & Dre mostly stayed at the Johnson residence but after a their mother's heroin overdose, they were forced to move in with their father.

### 2001 - 2010: Rosalina Basaro

Upon moving in with their father, he immediately began abusing Rosie as he blamed her for her mother's death even though everyone knew it was him. For years, he continued to abuse her while her brother remained oblivious. He gave her matching bruise marks all over her & Rosie began giving herself a few scars of her own to deal with the pain. She thought about suicide or turning in her dad multiple times but didn’t want her brother to be caught in between. It's messed up but Rosie eventually became numb to it, it was just routine for her.

Her father would bring home any girl he could found find just so he could get a nut off until he realized he didn’t need to do that anymore. He began sexually abusing Rosie when she was thirteen. They all moved across the country to Baltimore when I was little over fourteen after her father got sick of Los Angeles.

On her fifteenth birthday, he raped her. In a way, Rosie had prepared herself for this as she knew he would eventually want more from her. She never celebrated her birthday again. Rosie started drinking shortly after. She was friends with the older kids in her neighborhood so she was at their parties a lot. It helped numb the pain until she realized she was just getting memory loss & hangover the next day.

That's how it was until a month before her 18th birthday when she decided to end her life. The drinking wasn't enough to stop the pain so she began doing heroin, just like her mother. Her doctors told her that all of it mixed together drove her into a deep depression & the abuse she was receiving made it worse. Her brother found her after she took the sleeping pills. Her father went to prison, her brother moved in with the Johnson's & she went to rehab shortly after in Los Angeles.

For the next ten months, she remained at the rehab while taking some college courses. When her time finished, she moved in with the Harris family, as the matriarch Courtney Harris, was not only a friend of her mother's but also the prosecutor on her case.
