Mia Thornton: Childhood
The RHOP star grew up in the foster care system as a child.
She revealed that her parents were recovering addicts who were not able to care for her while growing up.
Mia’s parents had three children, including her, and decided to adopt her later in their marriage, following her time in foster care. Her mother Robin Elaine Lynem later passed away in December 2018, aged 58.
Mia had extensive therapy to help re-program her brain as a result.
As reported by E! Online, Mia said:
It’s easy to become a victim and it’s easy to make excuses, but I was taught at a very young age that you are not a victim of your past or what other people have done for you, that you actually have full control over your future.
