"Kandie Cudd, 47, said she isn’t ashamed to admit she married and divorced not one but two men who abused her, because that’s not the whole story of the woman she is today.

Cudd is a vivacious hostess at Mike’s Place in downtown Conway and an artist who uses her life’s experiences as inspiration for her colorful artwork.

Most of those experiences aren’t ones she’d wish on anybody.

Cudd, who was born in California and grew up primarily in Oklahoma, was sexually abused by her father and then her stepfather.

“My first memory is 2 1/2, up until we left when I was 8,” she said of her father’s abuse.

One of Cudd’s most vivid memories of the abuse was when she was 3 and her mother was in a California hospital giving birth to Cudd’s sister.

“That was probably the worst experience, the worst that he did,” Cudd said, adding simply: “He had more time.”

Her father told her he was “going to show me how he loved mom.”

On other occasions, Cudd said she doesn’t know where her mother was when her father abused her."
