Christina Aguilera Begins Plans for Domestic Violence Shelter
Christina Aguilera offered the world something other than her kick-ass boobs. The singer is planning to open a shelter for woman and children who are victims of abuse.
She says, "Some of these women leave their homes without anything.
"They just grab the kids and get out of the situation. And so a lot of these women have nothing, and they have to start from scratch."
Aguilera discussed the stress of life in a violent home. Her mother separated from her abusive father when Christina was a child. She moved the children out of state and Christina hasnt had any significant contact with her father since.
Aguilera, who is about to release her new album, the two-CD Back to Basics, says of her childhood, "I never really had this father figure, which never bothered me. I had my mom, I had people that did love me and care for me."
Despite the bad experience, the singer and her new husband plan to start their own family someday.
"In five years time I'd probably like to start thinking about a child," the 25-year-old star said "and probably writing about that experience in my life on my next record."
