Welcome Back Whitney Houston!

Whitney Houston, popular R&B vocalist, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show for a two part interview where she revealed what was going on in her life during the seven years where she fell into drugs and abuse. Whitney was known as "The Voice" for much of the 80s and early 90s. Her career peaked when she released "The Bodyguard" and its accompanying soundtrack with the smash hit "I Will Always Love You". Soon after her peak of success, Whitney has now admitted that she got involved heavily with marijuana laced with cocaine and that her then husband, Bobby Brown, verbally and emotionally abused her. She even recalled a time when he spat in her face after an argument. Since she took the vows of marriage seriously, Whitney fought to keep her marriage with Bobby Brown together, but knew she wasn't happy. She knew the public was right in their opinion of her marriage , but she loved her husband so much and was determined to prove them wrong. She even said that Brown was her "drug". She continued the drugs until her mother came to her house for an intervention. Her mother wanted her daughter back and was not going to take NO for an answer.

Whitney Houston is just one example of many women who seem to have everything together, but still struggle with being more successful than their husband and fight to make their marriage work. Whitney, like many other women, fight so hard to fix or hold on to their marriage because of love, but when the other spouse is treating you so terribly, your spirit will find the stregnth to do better. She said she loves the Lord, her mother, her daughter, family, and other supporters for helping her get through it all...

Welcome Back Whitney Houston! Fabulous Brown Girl loves you!
