Parents names - Bill & Sandy Arias - married 33 yrs, oldest child of these 2 - she has a 1/2 sister (paternal) who is 5 years older than she. . . Carl - brother is 2 yrs younger, Angela is younger sis (born @ age 13), and youngest Joseph (born when JA was 11 y/o)
From age 7 it was a fairly ideal childhood . . . predominately positive memories of childhood, brother and I lived in culdesac . ,. lots areas to play in . . .. went to theme parks in California, went to private school for 3 years then public school . . . we went to school together - I was held back in Kindergarten so we were in same grade . . . Mom was a dental assistant . . .
Had pets, cats, dog, fish, brother had frogs, played hopscotch and roller skating, . . . we rode bikes a lot, did a lot of camping. . . . speaking quietly . . . very nervous (pulls mike closer to her per Atty request).
Life was pretty ideal up until age 7, seemed like parents would just spank us when we were little to discipline but it got worse - frequency and intensity changed after that . . .that was the first year that my Dad starting using a belt, my Mom started carrying a wooden spoon in her purse . . .
