That was amazing she shared that and I have a feeling she is going to help a lot of people who have had similar experiences… You just don’t know what people go through in their lives… I do feel privileged to have listened to this aspect of Michele’s story and life.
Wow that was so profound. Live your truth and know that your destiny is not tied to your past or that past that you would have wished for - you make your own way!
This woman really shares so much, that I could share my similar stories, with her, on what I learned, as I grew old, and learned about the people who either shared their feelings with me, or just didn’t seem to care. Like her, I’ve had a rough past before, but I later managed to make the timing just right, in order to find peace again (despite bad memories that would often continue to haunt me). My late Grandmother June, always said this- “whenever you have a bad memory, know that God is upon you, to shower it with His Wisdom, and His Spirit.” I’ll forever be thankful for her, as well as Michelle, right here.
I can’t imagine intentionally rejecting a child and the hole it leaves in the child’s soul - by writing this book a way for her to empower & help others on their road to heal their’hidden in plain sight’ - blessings to her and family
Family intrigue in Fall 1984 concealed some important information from me. Still unresolved, but hopeful! Michelle Miller deserves high praise for her courage and grace. I look forward to her memoir.
Michelle, I sat here and listened to your story several times over and I have to honestly tell you what a beautiful, strong and extraordinary woman you are to bring your truth out to the world! I have never been so moved in my entire life, even though your circumstances are a bit different than mine, I had a beautiful and loving Mother taken away from us by abusive father and I grew up since the age of 10 forging my way raising the younger siblings and making my way throughout my life mostly by myself! Thank you so much for the sweet magnificent story you told poignant yet heart wrenching… but at the same time so meaningful! Your story will reach many, many peoples hearts and I feel with all my heart the mother who gave birth to you and walked away from you perhaps has suffered far more than you have or more than you’ll ever know because she gave up the greatest gift in the world which was her own flesh and blood and never looked back! It is often times our hardships that will us to be strong beautiful and independent human beings and you certainly have risen from that and look at you…. you are absolutely amazing!! I will get your book and I am certain I will be absorbed in it so deeply!!! Thank you for your bravery to put your story out and I pray that your mother saw this and she’s realizing how much she lost and how much you gained!❤
I pray that her story helps with your healing. I'm sure your siblings are appreciative for everything you have done for them. You all experienced a deep trauma. Work on your healing so that you can enjoy life. That is what your mother would want. ❤️
@@nikishialluvera9472 Thank you for your lovely response! I am a grown adult woman now and this was many years ago in my childhood that this happened. I have grown up to run my own business and I mentor all the clients that I have and the young children that come into my world. I have always viewed my past as something that molded me to become a teacher and a warrior of life! If you can take your tragedies and turn them into learning lessons and get good counseling when you’re young which is what I did you can turn your life around and become a success in the world and that is what I strive to do every single day. Just yesterday I had lunch with the most wonderful woman who I saw in counseling many years ago and we still keep in touch now as friends and lunch partners! It’s lovely to go back and share how much she taught me and what it did for my life as I now teach others and have been my entire life! When you’re shown how strong you already are through the vision of a wonderful guiding counselor as she was for me and you are told that you are and have always been a survivor that is what you suddenly realize was the gift that you had all along and now you can pass it on as an adult which is what I have done my entire life! When I read another persons plight, it resonates so deeply with mine from my past and that is what I shared when I read the opening story! Life and all that is encompassing is an incredible journey if you can grasp it enough to make it work and I have been fortunate enough to do so!
I'm so happy that you are where you belong in life, have a great, loving family and a terrific job. I simply can't comprehend how your mother could have done that when you were born, such a tragedy, but you found your way in life without her, although I'm sure it was hard. Love and best wishes to you and your family for your future.
And worse yet, doing it still! I’ve heard Michelle say that perhaps her mother would like to have a relationship “from a distance”. So when she was young, her family gave her an ultimatum: It’s him or your family. She may have been young then, so she may have had some reason for choosing to give up her baby and stay with her family, but even as a grown woman 35 years later, she still feels she has to hide her daughter? Well, she should thank God that Michelle is her daughter and not me, because everyone would have known she was my mother. I would have named her.
Your commentary may help my own daughter one day. Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. I plan to purchase your book and pass it on to my daughter one day.
As someone who was abandoned and adopted, this resonates so very much, just loss my adopted mom over a year ago. It still hurts, such a very moving segment…❤️🩹🙏🏾🥺 I really appreciate her openness and sharing.
Oh, she will see this. And she will see you. And she will be happy that you are doing alright. And her broken heart that will never heal, as the song goes, will let a little light in.
The audacity of her mom's "proud, working-class Latino family! Her dad is a handsome, brilliant man and they thought he wasn't good enough for their daughter. I would say that he was too good for her and her ignorant family.
With all of the connections she has I'm sure Michelle Miller could find her mother. Instead, she has left it up to her mom. Just like it was her mother's choice to leave; it's her mother's choice to return.
My parents, grandmother,aunts and uncles and siblings ostracized me for having emotions, for having a conscience, independent, and a loving and kind person. After many years of being programmed with lies, psychological and emotional abuse by my genetic family. I finally developed the courage to permanently leave them. I finally got the courage to save myself. Not knowing where I would end up. I ended up being marginalized by my former employer Anthem Inc aka Elevance Health who used strategic measures of surveillance, gangstalking and psychological abuse to isolate me from society and employment. I now exist in a homeless shelter on government assistance receiving A & D, food stamp and medicaid. I am attending college at MSU Denver in an attempt to become a more skilled communicator. I have begun to be ostracized by my Rhetorical and pop culture professor after just a little over a month in her class. All I really want is to be treated like the good loving human being that I am.
100 PERCENT ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 👍...Spot on correct 💯 . Coming through rough times and. Upbringing . To refuse to let. Adversity hold u back in Life. God bless....live long and prosper 😎...
Damn. Toxic family can ruin a life. That mother’s racist, hateful parents probably would’ve disowned her, so she chose to abandon her own child. That’s profoundly sad.
Interesting story about the mother. As a Jew, my family said we were the chosen ones, and to STAY AWAY from mingling with other races. Like it or not, this belief still exists today.
That was amazing she shared that and I have a feeling she is going to help a lot of people who have had similar experiences… You just don’t know what people go through in their lives… I do feel privileged to have listened to this aspect of Michele’s story and life.
Oh Michelle! That took such courage. I'm still sobbing. Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable. ❤
Wow that was so profound. Live your truth and know that your destiny is not tied to your past or that past that you would have wished for - you make your own way!

God bless you and your family and your dad for raising you!

Michelle's definitely a daughter to be proud of.
God has blessed you and be proud of who you are today!
I can't imagine giving up my child because of racism. Michelle, may God continue to bless you and your family😊
Liberals are mentally ill

Wow. Just wow. I can’t wait to read Michelle’s book !
So amazing she is sharing her story. Well said!!!!
Well- said. You are an amazing woman and an excellent reporter. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself.
As someone who was abandoned and adopted, this resonates so very much, just loss my adopted mom over a year ago. It still hurts, such a very moving segment…❤️🩹🙏🏾🥺 I really appreciate her openness and sharing.
the life you make.. beautiful..so glad for your depth, loveliness and grace ..many blessings always
Awesome.
One phenomenal story and thanks for sharing with us Michelle. God Bless
I will always be your daughter wow.
Accepting the history of our nation doesn’t mean to erase it.
Oh, she will see this. And she will see you. And she will be happy that you are doing alright. And her broken heart that will never heal, as the song goes, will let a little light in.
I look forward to reading this book by Michelle Miller.
So glad you shared - you will help so many 🙏
Gratitude everyday helps me get through.
Wow I wasn’t expecting that. ❤
The way she ended that raised every hair on my body
I know you forgave but didn’t forget, where you are in life proves that, but can I say this what grace you have shown
Excellent!!
Thanks so much. You are such an inspiration.❤❤❤
BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED JUST BEAUTIFULLY BELONGING
I understand what you’re going through. My own white mother left me over 52 years ago. I know now I was better off 👍
Strong woman. Nice to hear her story.
Thank you for sharing this. I have my own story that I am struggling with.
This isn't heartbreaking, it's heartripping, I pray there will be an update based on this, & that it will be as positive as is possible!
Thank you for sharing to yurn for that sense of belonging!!!
Wow!! So ❤well said!!!!
The audacity of her mom's "proud, working-class Latino family! Her dad is a handsome, brilliant man and they thought he wasn't good enough for their daughter. I would say that he was too good for her and her ignorant family.
I agree
@@paulacopeland8360 She left a good man, and probably ended up with a lowlife.
🎉🎉awesome story🎉🎉
Excellent presentation, thoughtful. Love you!
Love you sis. ❤️😊
Such a sad but fortunate story!
Awesome. Too many refuse to admit their truths. They live behind a facade they created. But the truth remains the truth.
With all of the connections she has I'm sure Michelle Miller could find her mother.
Instead, she has left it up to her mom. Just like it was her mother's choice to leave;
it's her mother's choice to return.
Michele found her mother. Her mother still did not want to acknowledge her.
It should still be that way honestly
May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you
Pretty powerful Michelle!!!

😢😢😢😢😢.
So what is her birth mother doing now? Does she have her own family? Does Michelle have half-brothers and half-sisters?
100 PERCENT ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 👍...Spot on correct 💯 . Coming through rough times and. Upbringing . To refuse to let. Adversity hold u back in Life. God bless....live long and prosper 😎...
POWERFUL✊🏽
I have a friend who has the exact same life story.
You are top 10% pretty and charismatic. You belong everywhere.
"WOW" That's HEAVY STUFF!!!
Did she write the first season of On My Block?
a real deal story.
lots of women just walk away from kids they birth. if dad can't or won't take baby, it goes into foster care, many as newborns.
😢😢 Lord
I WAS BORN in L.A. ALSO!
God bless you and thank you for helping me through my feelings of not belonging
“Harbor-City”!
Damn. Toxic family can ruin a life. That mother’s racist, hateful parents probably would’ve disowned her, so she chose to abandon her own child. That’s profoundly sad.
amor fati
It happens, get over it!!!!
NOT a “BAD “looking” “secret”
Neither!!!!!!
Latina!! Yesssssssss....
Somebody go get Dr Henry Louis Gates, we need to get down to the bottom of this for Michelle.🤔
Gotta keep the people divided!
Troller. You're reaching far to cause division here division here. Actually, you are the one trying to cause division
Silly fascist
Care to explain?
your comment is definitely divisive, SMH
Interesting story about the mother. As a Jew, my family said we were the chosen ones, and to STAY AWAY from mingling with other races. Like it or not, this belief still exists today.
Ugh…
Still not happy ?
I'm adopted and have never met my mother 60 years hence. MOVE ON!
So easy for you to say. Glad you moved on, or did you really move on?
@@paulacopeland8360 Doubt it, otherwise, why even acknowledge it. They probably will go to their grave harboring mommy issues.😂
