    Thank you Mark for letting me share my story. It was a healing moment in my journey. I wish I could’ve deep dived more into some things, my nerves got the best of me. However, I just hope my message got through that it is possible to choose the life you want, despite the cards you are dealt with.

You have this moment now and a bright future ahead. You are beautiful and you are so worthy of true love. Keep growing healing and discovering who you are. I personally can relate to many of the same stories it took me 46 years to learn grow and heal proud of you. Wishing you many blessings.

      I had an experience recently where a childhood friend had become schizophrenic & so I called some places to ask questions & see if I could get them help & I was told that people do not develop schizophrenia at that age & it was most likely happening due to some opioid drug use. Sorry I can’t remember what they specifically called it. Well I had no idea but apparently they were correct & the person had secretly become addicted to opioid pills. I am sharing this because you mentioned that he was fine until he was 30 & it reminded me of those people telling me that schizophrenia typically doesn’t onset at 30-40 years old? …I am not sure if there is any truth to this but in this particular situation they were correct and the reason for the schizophrenia onset was the addiction. Once my friend got clean then their life became much easier and I would say that most of their mental health concerns such as the people following and the various voices did get much much better. Not sure if this could possibly be the case with you brother but may be worth looking into? Sorry and I pray for the best

    Sabrina is a wounded combat survivor from early childhood (C-PTSD). She's smart and tough but fragile on the inside. I think she's developed strengths that most people can only aspire to, like honesty and loyalty. Her better angels have kept her from damning those who hurt her but that continues to be a constant psychic struggle for her. Acceptance is the key to all her (and our) problems and it's damn hard and a life-long struggle. Go girl.

      Social workers will tell you that no matter how bad the parental abuse is they still want to stay with their Mom and Dad verses adoption or foster homes. I came from an abusive home with a stepfather who was on parole after doing 25 years of a life sentence for murdering two people. We lived in fear, and I hated him, but I loved my mother. At some point I might have rebelled and insisted on living with my biological Dad, but I couldn’t bear the idea of being away from my mother and siblings. I was 55 years old before I ever questioned why she married a murderer and brought him into her home to help raise her 5 children.

      ​@@ritaouellette383If your mother feared him too, why would she invite him to come live in her home and allow him to help raise 5 kids that weren't his, and be abusive towards them and you, and herself. Sounds like your mom was the type of woman that had to have a man in her life at all times, and settled on whomever would have her, because there is no way that any descent mother would marry a convict and put up with them abusing her or her children, and cause her to live in fear 24/7. That's awful. Sorry you had to go through that.

    Thank you for sharing your encouraging story. I love hearing about how your life is so blessed after all that you've gone through. I have BPD and other medical issues of 14 years. After being a nurse and cardiology technician, raising a daughter, losing a daughter, having everything to having nothing, things can be turned back around for my good. Thank you again.

    Sabrina, your eyes light up wonderfully when you talk about your dog. It's a relationship to treasure that I've only recently come to appreciate with my first one who provides the same comfort. Congrats also on your sobriety and please keep your, at times self-deprecating, dry sense of humor! At the risk of sounding cliche, you're living your best life right now. :)

You also have learned how healing animals and being in the country can be. It sounds like you are helping train dogs to become their best for others, so you also serve others. God bless you

    Im schizoaffective with a very similar childhood background. Despite a nasty alcohol habit i developed later in life i traveled the world got educated have multiple degrees and actively sought healing. I fell but got up again, thats what you do. Its amazing to me that we are pigeon holed as being maladaptive or unable to even formulate sentences. Some of us may have cognitive difficulties, but the stigma around this disorder is very misinformed.
    I appreciate this channel as it showcases stigmas and those that dont abide by them.
    I hope for a time when family dynamics change for the better, until then i will be the one to break cycles until further notice.

    Sabrina - Thank you for sharing your story. It took a lot of guts to tell the world what you've been through. You are one of the rare people who come from such a dysfunctional childhood and early adulthood have the strength to rise above. Thank God for your grandmother who showed you what a "normal" life can be and instilled those values and interests that have been so valuable for you. Stay strong. I can't help but think your appearance on Soft White Underbelly will result in a huge infusion of self-worth and personal pride which will help in your recovery from your earlier trauma.

    Omg the way she said her mom used to traffic her for drugs like so matter of fact. Almost like she has found a way to understand and forgive her mom. As a former addict I’m very careful to never say I’d never do that. Because there have been so many things I never thought I would do. I use to beat myself up bc I would only do drugs at home in case something happened . I knew I could trust my young daughter to call 911 and she always did. Now I have to live with the fact that she struggles with anxiety and ptsd because of me. Now that I’m sober I look back in shame for my actions and gratitude for her. Hearing these stories makes me so grateful that I was blessed enough to get sober . I have 5 years now and I pray everyday that I never have to go back to that hell. I don’t think I could’ve survived had I done one more thing to have hurt my daughter. I learned quickly that drugs completely alter your perception and the control they have over you is unmatched. While trafficking your own daughter is absolutely horrific. I think your ability to try to forgive your mom is very brave. She is lucky to have had you and I will continue to pray for your happiness. Thank you for sharing everything that you have survived. You are definitely a case of what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
