You don't really disown your parents you just cut off ties the parents are the ones mentally or physically disowning you when they turn their back on you and let you get traumatized
You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit, and seem so gentle, and yet, you are also a warrior. I’m so sorry about everything that you went through….but thank you so much for wanting to help others.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. The good thing is that you and others speaking out is helping to expose this. You are so strong and brave. Each person who speaks out starts another on the road to disclosure and healing. ❤️🩹 God bless you and keep you safe. I pray your story reaches many others who are hurting. I pray you feel the unconditional love of Jesus! 🙏🕊🥰
If anyone is going through this or went through this ..SPEAK UP ! Even if your family disown you, even if they don’t believe you. Speak your truth. Don’t let the monsters and enablers keep you silent.You are loved and it was not your fault. I pray for everyone’s healing 💚
I tell my daughter to tell everyone if anyone does anything to you. If anyone tells you not to tell your mom or dad - that means they’re doing bad stuff. you come tell us as soon as possible.
I'd hear the elders sit around talking about kids being sexually/physically abused like it was nothing when I was a child. I'd wonder why nobody would do anything. As an adult looking back, I'm so angry. A lot of times they'd blame the girl saying she intinced the man.😠😡🤬 I'm so sorry for what you been through, & I'm glad you're helping to make a difference. 💙
Her whole entire family did not protect her. They, in fact, served her up on a silver platter. It is so sickening, gusting, horrifying that the abuse went unnoticed. And I am sure her three other sisters were also getting abused. If he’s doing it to one girl, he’s doing it to All. I wish she would’ve had the courage back then to go to the authorities. Try to go to a police station that he was not a part of. What amazes me is that the sisters did not talk to each other about it when they were younger. I pray that Cathy Stays strong and does not give up her fight in her civil matter to collect On The money from her stepdad. He should have to do more than pay her, he should be in prison for life. I am too a sexual/mental/physical abuse survivor! I have horrible PTSD! The differences my mother believed me and did something about it. I am so grateful to my mother, who did not for a second doubt, or question me and supported me and went after the people in our family who did this to me. My mother is my best friend. I am so blessed to have the mother I have, she has always been there to pick my up, dust me off, and help get me back on my feet every time I would go through different struggles in my life! I would do things to self sabotage myself, unconsciously, and push people away. But my mother refused to let me be alone, or to push her away! Even when I attempted to my my life multiple times, she was the first pi saw in the hospital room. I am also a recovering addicted 7/10/21! This would have not been possible without my mother. When she found out, she only let herself panic for less than a minute, she went into straight supermom mode and started making calls and taking me to hospital to figure out what were the next steps, and what to do to get me better, and on the right track . And I am forever. Grateful for that, my life is so much better than where it was. I don’t think my mother will ever understand how grateful and blessed I feel that God chose her to be my mother. I love my mom so much.
Why do so many women turn a blind eye when their children tell them they're being abused? I dont understand, my best friend told her mom and her mother called her a liar, and i witnessed it!! I just don't get it
It’s because a lot of women are male centered. They view their daughter as competition when their spouse is the creep. Even their own brothers they will cover up for because they are male centered. They don’t hold men accountable because they are afraid of “upsetting” them or being dumped. Women like that are disgusting
Stories like this make me sick he had a wife for that to take away your innocence, I hate you had no childhood. I hate the adults in your life failed 😢 you and allowed this to happen to you.
You're around my age back then women relied on That paycheck they didn't want to be alone.igot the belt like you same thing.thing a long with other things all mothers know we have a bond with our children.their selfish they should protect the children no matter what.
It's sad that there are people who will lie, or train their children to lie to get back at back an ex. Its sad that accusations have to be met with skepticism at lot of times. I wholeheartedly believe this woman however. And I would NEVER speak to my mother or my aunt ever again.
I was wondering the same. I think most abusers single out one person they view as weak. And then their credibility can be questioned if they ever tell. Sick.
@@Parrotgirl-tattoo I am thinking of reporting my abusive stepdad soon. The cops were about to arrest him for hitting me, one cop was so angry at him because I was a teenager at the time.
Kathy i have so much respect for you im glad that you found the courage to get justice you are such an inspiration for survivors thank you 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m proud of you for standing as an advocate for others. God bless you 🙏🏿💖
I would disown and hate my mother and any other adult that knew and/or told me not to talk about it.
This😠😡🤬
You don't really disown your parents you just cut off ties the parents are the ones mentally or physically disowning you when they turn their back on you and let you get traumatized
You are a an amazing woman. The strength to make it all public is nothing short of heroic.
I am so sorry, that no one stepped up for you! No one should not go through that!
You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit, and seem so gentle, and yet, you are also a warrior.
I’m so sorry about everything that you went through….but thank you so much for wanting to help others.
Just awful! I admire you so much for advocating for yourself and other victims. Thank you

I would NEVER forgive him or my mother. EVER.
Forgiven is for us not them
Shhh, we don’t talk about this! Horrible response to a child you’re supposed to protect 😢
These women who went along with it!!!
What you mean by who went along with it. She was a child
@@wjohns911 The mother, aunts

Thank you Kathy for sharing,
By law, if you even SUSPECT abuse of a child or elder, call or go online with CPS, even anonymously!!! Do not allow ppl to hurt children!!
Cps didnt exist back then
@@kell-yh4ecno, but the police department did. it’s takes nothing to report someone else’s abuse
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
These stories are all too common, keep sharing so people can heal and see they arent alone

I tell my granddaughter's the same. If they say don't tell..Run & tell! I also did everything possible to be "ugly"! 🥹
@@thetexaswelaI made myself ugly too. The guy threathened me for telling

She said that he was police so that's why she was scared to go to them and he threatened to kill her with a gun

That's crazy how your mom shared you, her own daughter and you being a child with her so called husband...
Brave brave🌺🌺🌺
Im looking for your book now
This is the reason for the orgasm gap. Trauma
I wonder if any of her siblings were abused too, or if she was the one targeted… 🤔😔
Right, but in some cases, the perp solely focuses on one victim
I think people who know about abuse and cover it up should do jail time as well. Then we will see how strongly they feel about keeping secrets.
