Her mom's excuses are sickening. Sexually abusing your child isn't enough to leave, but him throwing a remote at your face was the final straw?! I hate that kids have to deal with situations like this smh. I pray for this young lady's healing and peace.
@johncena04101 Right. To a certain extent, I was being understanding (with the showering together). I understand people go through their own trauma too that results in them making certain excuses and whatnot, but come on. All this happened and she was only 10/11. God I wish children were more protected.
Literally was just about to comment this I hope she cuts this pathetic person out of her life I think the only reason she doesn't she probably feels like she has no one
Yes, that was Powerful!!.. I think she's really heading toward Happiness!-- She's really been working through her feelings & memories to a brighter day!- Just wish she would expand any Christian roots in that regard!!- :)
Gracie is unbelievably articulate and self-reflective. Check out the way she holds her composure - and that reading at the beginning shows some real insight. Shes an inspiration, honestly. I wish her the best and all the best in the world. Blessings from VA
"He threw a remote at her head and that's what finally made her leave" Heart breaking. I'm so sorry no one protected you the way they should have. I hope you continue to heal x
It's mind boggling how she was able to go through all that trauma and not be on heavy drugs. I listen to these true childhood nightmares and think damn compared to them my childhood was easy street. Nobody should have to endure all this kind of pain and chaos. I'm so proud of her for being so strong and resilient. She's also very smart, intellectual and articulate.
I agree. My psychologist said that to me many years ago. He was surprised I wasn't addicted to anything, booze or drugs due to my childhood. I still don't really understand that statement ten years later...
As someone that went through a lot of childhood trauma, I too never turned to drugs and it's because I loved and still love myself way too much to ever hurt myself more than I've already been hurt. I just couldn't forgive myself for hurting myself after already going through it for decades. Doing drugs would've only given me problems and more trauma so no thanks.
Prayers for this young lady. She is bright enough and smart enough to live a better life. I believe that this may be the first time in her life that she has been able to open up and talk about her life and the trauma she experienced and suffered. I wish her much success and happiness
Gracie you can speak three hours and I would listen to every word you have to say. Thank you for sharing your story. My jaw dropped at your only being 22. I wish you every success in your life! The best is yet to come.
This video broke my heart. 💔 As a victim of childhood trauma myself, her story hit home deep. She is so strong to be able to share her story. I am impressed with her amazing ability to articulate her inner reflections into words. She is a beautiful soul and I will definitely pray to God for her healing and continued personal growth. 🙏🏼 I LOVE THIS VIDEO! ❤
How the heck do people get through stuff like this - so much violation on so many levels - and not turn into raving lunatics, addicts, abusers, etc. I have had an easy line compared to this woman and am still all messed up over things that happened in the past. This is very inspiring.
I believe in these processes very much, but wonder how much brain anatomy - something you’re just born with - can play a part in being able to live with this.
I didn’t hear any intense therapy here? I didn’t hear any type of professional treatment or diagnoses? All I heard are a lot of mixed messages. Someone who is still pretty lost… listen closely…
Throughout this interview I couldn’t help but think how relieved she must feel to say all these things out loud. Being so young and knowing you’re being treated badly must’ve made her feel so unheard and trapped. Thank you mark for giving these people an outlet to tell their story, we’re all listening!!
True! 🤔Her mother was just as traumatized as Gracie. Her mother sounds like a covert narcissist. They are unable to take any blame or accountability because being in denial protects her false self image from shame. 😞
@@robm8067 you hit this spot on 💯 these parents are the worst smh...I wish all the best for her because she is such a strong young lady ❤ after all she went thru
What an amazing young lady. So in tune with her feelings. So emotionally intelligent and so courageous for powering through to a place where she can find forgiveness.
I’m just blown away! A smartie, avid reader and just a sweet and strong Soul! Thank you for sharing this story, it’s just sickening to listen to. Be safe and well always, little one. You are in my prayers, brave one!
WOW when Gracie said she’s 22 i couldn’t believe it 😳,in the sense of everything she’s been through and come through is equatable to a 40 year old for me,such a beautiful (inward and outward) young woman and i wish you well on your journey through life,thanks for sharing 🙂.
You did great Gracie! You are such an inspiration....At 22 years old you have come farther in your trauma than I have in over 3 decades. Keep shining girl...
Wow. Just wow. I am simultaneously so sorry to hear her story and so honored that she shared this with the world. She is so well spoken and amazingly aware and well thought out. Very inspiring and thought provoking. Wishing her and all survivors peace and healing.
Gracie, you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish I could give you a big hug. What happened to you, in your childhood, was not your fault and it should have never happened to you. It is amazing that you are not letting it define you.
Thanks. I needed that. I am a survivor of family abuse and have been in treatment counseling for a month now. I can identify with the pain. We are the ones who see life for what it's worth despite our broken lives. Thanks for the inspiration.
I am utterly amazed by her existence. Going through such trauma and being so self-aware, making the right choices for her future is so impressive. RESPECT.
Warrior woman. I wish the very best for her. Her intelligence and will is one in a million. She can take those qualities in infinite positive directions.
I know that all this wisdom came from the mouth of a very badly abused 22 year old because I watched this...but it "felt" like the words of a much much older person. Gracie has somehow squirmed her way through life-long abuse and misery and come up for air with knowledge we could all learn so much from! At the age of 22!! She Must become a teacher! It's her calling! She's amazing!
The human spirit is resilient. In order to survive, and or thrive, most people compartmentalize to carry on. Thank you, Gracie, you have gone beyond managing your past traumas by facing them and sharing with us all❤️ Some people, like myself, crave honest conversations, but bec of shame (other factors) they can be hard to come by. Than you, Mark🙏
Gracie is inspiring, insightful, thoughtful, tragic, has patience, is funny, analytical , has perspective loves learning . The practical study of meditation, yoga and Tibetan Buddhism, is and will be so helpful to you…. as you go through life and particularly as you peel the onion layers off your significant childhood trauma and sexual abuse….without attachment. You are such a beautiful wise soul. I hope your life is full of enriching and enjoyable experiences and you come home to a safe secure home to nest in. I hope you travel and further broaden your intellect. Please come back on SWU for updates.
I never cease to be impressed by many of the people on this channel but Gracie is beyond impressive. At only 22yo she has experienced horrific things but has definitely put in the work to overcome the trauma. I have always been interested in Buddhism and meditation and definitely think it’s a very helpful practice. Gracie you are beautiful inside and out and I wish you the most amazing future!
The brightest side to situations like yours is at the age of 22 you are so wise. And you’ll continue to grow at that accelerated rate bc of that trauma. Pain is the greatest teacher. I connect deeply with your story. Of course all stories are different. When I went to alcohol treatment at the age of 21 I was with adults who were in their 40s-70s. I deeply connected with my group and they connected and saw me too. I’d always get comments that I was beyond my years of experience and knowledge and because of that it would launch me far in my recovery, not of just substance but life. I hope you take care and life shows you the opportunities you so deserve. Much love ❤️
Gracie, thank you for sharing your story. You’re such a smart woman and I want you to know that none of that evil in your young life was your fault. You’re gonna do great things
Throughout all of the bad there is good!! What an incredible interview. Gracie is so well spoken and so very self aware. I hope you have her back for a follow up. Such a tragic childhood with all of the sexual abuse :( I wish her all the best for a very bright future ahead!
What I think is great is that she is able to have conversations with her mom about this stuff; I have trauma from my childhood and my mom is very much a denier and doesn't want to talk about it, which I understand as she raised us the best she could and wasn't malicious but it would still be good to be able to talk about how I felt and how things changed me in ways I only comprehend now. Hope for all the best things for you ahead Gracie! ❤
Her story sounds so similar to mine... I thought it was all normal until the school called the cops for the third time after seeing us covered in bruises multiple times. And somehow both my sister and I were sexually abused as well by different people at different times. Her story resonates with me, because music was my escape as well. Unfortunately though, I had to hide my cd player because when my stepmother realized how important music was to me, then I was no longer allowed to listen to music, and I was pulled out of choir and band classes. And to make sure I didn't break the rules and listen to music, my bedroom door was removed so I never had privacy, even when changing. Unfortunately we all cope in different ways, but many truly abused people either think it's normal, or blame themselves...
Gracie, you are a very bright and self aware young woman. I'm so sorry for what you have gone through. None of it is your fault. Wishing you all the best. You deserve to be happy and free from the chains of trauma.
There are so many people in my family that need to hear what that book said. Love is the best perspective. Thanks for the eye opening interview. I wish the best for you Gracie. And thank you so much Mark for taking the time to do all that you do. Big hugs from Oregon! 🐿
What a remarkable young lady who definitely comes across as a wise old soul beyond 22 years old. I wish you all the happiness and joy and great things in life you so so much deserve! You go girl! Super proud!
This is one of the most powerful videos I’ve seen thus far on soft white underbelly! She has changed my view on life with her experience! Protect her and those like her at all cost!!!🙏🏾🏆💯✅
I love your soul Gracie. Your intelligence has carried you through your trauma and your heart is helping you heal. Your experiences, good and bad, are molding who you are, and who you are is AMAZING and Beautiful through and through.
Omg this human is incredible. Having gone through all they have only to not let it harden their heart or wipe them of their ability to have empathy is unreal. I truly wish Gracie the absolute best in every aspect of their life.
I found this interview not only eye-opening and informative, but very beautiful in a way as well. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Gracie! Lots of love and peace. 🫶🏾
Your level of awareness is truly beautiful and profound. I loved the way you opened up with the book. I couldn’t agree more with what you touched on when reading it. I purchased it immediately. Continue to seek your truth 🤍🦋 lovely interview.
The way she spoke about sugaring was eerily exactly how I felt… it feels good to hear someone else talk about going through similar things and having similar feelings … thank you for sharing
Gracie you are AMAZING, I wish we could be friends because you were telling your story and I just resonated so much. Going through all of that and still wanting to be self aware and learn and navigate this world in a hopeful way is soooooo much.
I have watched you for many years now and never subscribed until now...... this video has spoken to me on so many levels.... I am here in LA...... San Gabriel Valley.... If I can ever be of any help please let me know..... thank you so much for the work you do.... you are seen by many who may be silent.... much like me.
What a smart, vulnerable young woman. I can see her having a bright future and not attracting ugliness into her life. Good luck to you Gracie! You deserve the best life ❤
I GIVE GRACE MUCH CREDIT FOR LIFTING HERSELF UP, LEARNING & TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HERSELF. HER LOVE OF READING SURE HELPED. YES, A WISE 22 YEAR OLD INDEED. HUGZ TO YOU GRACIE. 🥰🥰🥰
So self-aware and so inspiring! I’m really sorry for the trauma you experienced and had to endure during your childhood. I really love your energy and vibe and how everything you’ve been through you’re able to forgive and continue spread that positive light. Thank you for sharing Gracie, really appreciate listening to this one!
It's one thing for a predator to violate and get caught but it's a whole other thing when ya bio parent has basically served you up to the violator...There's so much strength in you hugs for your bravery❤
Wow, what an incredible human! I hung on every word. Through it all, she seemed to have a really big heart. That was eye opening. And now I see her name is Grace. How appropriate. Thank you Grace. You are amazing.
Very intelligent really sensitive and empathetic,she is still young still finding herself,She would make an amazing therapist,I hope she really goes into mental health profession ,wise soul.
I started watching these videos and thought I had a normal, dull, life. I was wrong, my life has been a miraculous. I appreciate the perspective. I'm very grateful and won't take it for granted....
I can relate so much to you♡ my mom just passed a few days back. I was a severely abused & neglected until I left at 15. Her dying brought back to life so many demons that I buried:( I was molested,abused,unwanted,& was invisible. She too had a bad childhood. She was an addict,bad temper,depressed,&possibly bipolar. My escape was music,books,& nature♡ And My Bible. My step dad also beat my mom.She also tried to commit suicide infront of us.And she'd make my little brother and I smoke pot(she made me around 7years old &my brother around 6) Please always remember that you're stronger than anything that tries to break you!💝 and we're stronger than the demons that we fight. You're a beautiful person & soul! I'm so proud of you!!❤
Congratulations on your sobriety. It gets better and better. You are a very wise young woman. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you joy, love and peace.
Gracie, I'm only at 1:58 seconds. If you can feel those words, you're gonna be more than fine! Thank you for reading this to all of us, and keep those concepts close.
It’s so crazy to me how this generation of children is so much more aware, and willing to spare the feelings of others then our parents. Our parents didn’t care about how we felt but we strive every day to make sure that we are saving their feelings. we don’t want to hurt them like they did us.
Thank You Mark for introducing us to Grace. So Smart Wise and Strong. True Friends more true friends precious to have. You definitely look great, short hair is awesomeness. Great sense of humor. 🙏 🙏 🙏 prayers for happiness
Such compassionate strength and understanding of the human spirit ! time and time again, what inadequate, damaging females can do to the innocence of children- is heartbreaking. "It was what I thought was just normal, as a child" really hit home. I wish you all the love in the world... x x the hardest thing on the planet is questioning a mother as an adult. They know when something isn't right. X
this has to be one of the purest hearts ive seen from one empath to another. just love her energy and spirit. would love to have this person in my life as a decent human
This young person is emotionally mature far beyond their years. It’s refreshing to see someone her age who can understand personal growth like she can. She seems like a wonderful person. I hope she continues down the path she’s on. I am nothing short of impressed by the person she was able to become in spite of her rough beginning. Wow. ❤
Her mom's excuses are sickening. Sexually abusing your child isn't enough to leave, but him throwing a remote at your face was the final straw?! I hate that kids have to deal with situations like this smh. I pray for this young lady's healing and peace.
Thats what I was thinking! The mom can't even take accountability for her negligence!
@johncena04101 Right. To a certain extent, I was being understanding (with the showering together). I understand people go through their own trauma too that results in them making certain excuses and whatnot, but come on. All this happened and she was only 10/11. God I wish children were more protected.
Literally was just about to comment this I hope she cuts this pathetic person out of her life I think the only reason she doesn't she probably feels like she has no one
Easy AF to judge from outside of her skin, mang.
Actions are infinitely more valuable than impotent prayers.
Her ability to forgive is amazing and I commend her strength
Yes, that was Powerful!!.. I think she's really heading toward Happiness!--
She's really been working through her feelings & memories to a brighter day!-
Just wish she would expand any Christian roots in that regard!!- :)
Gracie is unbelievably articulate and self-reflective. Check out the way she holds her composure - and that reading at the beginning shows some real insight. Shes an inspiration, honestly. I wish her the best and all the best in the world. Blessings from VA

.*well
Gracie you are a Starseed
VA here too!! Hampton Roads/Tidewater area (Suffolk specifically but most people haven't heard of it so I usually just say I'm an hour from VA Beach😅)
"He threw a remote at her head and that's what finally made her leave" Heart breaking.
I'm so sorry no one protected you the way they should have. I hope you continue to heal x

She’s an extremely wise old soul. You should look into motivational speaking. Love this interview.
She is a GREAT Speaker with a sultry voice and a Sweet Soul
I hope her Mother watches this and really listens to her child’s story.
These kind of mothers will never understand: it's never their fault and "it's all in our heads and we made it up"
@@janeyun4128And were crazy...
I agree that everyone should take a gap year after high school. She is such an eloquent and strong woman. It was such an inspirational interview!!!
@jeanc.65 i wish I had taken one! My fam kinda forced me to go right after high school and I sooo wasn't ready!
Her mother knew about everything and didn't do anything for years. I don't think hearing it again would make a difference.
Prayers for this young lady. She is bright enough and smart enough to live a better life. I believe that this may be the first time in her life that she has been able to open up and talk about her life and the trauma she experienced and suffered. I wish her much success and happiness
U believe? Alright opal
@@icetraythegang5873 I said what I said
Wishes and prayers are both equally useless. Get involved with the people who call out.

Thank you for sharing your story. My jaw dropped at your only being 22.
I wish you every success in your life!
The best is yet to come.
That intro was so profound. I was glued from the very beginning because of it and how she’s telling her story 🥹

How the heck do people get through stuff like this - so much violation on so many levels - and not turn into raving lunatics, addicts, abusers, etc. I have had an easy line compared to this woman and am still all messed up over things that happened in the past. This is very inspiring.
Through intense therapy and tons of research on psychology/self-reflection.
I believe in these processes very much, but wonder how much brain anatomy - something you’re just born with - can play a part in being able to live with this.
We are incredibly resilient creatures. Our power to heal ourselves is immense. I love books by Dr. Gabor Mate.
@@luciannebeans6679 oh yes - thank you for reminding me Dr. Mate's work is out there to light the way...
I didn’t hear any intense therapy here? I didn’t hear any type of professional treatment or diagnoses? All I heard are a lot of mixed messages. Someone who is still pretty lost… listen closely…
What a beautiful, intelligent and wonderful human! The world needs more Gracies ❤

Being so young and knowing you’re being treated badly must’ve made her feel so unheard and trapped. Thank you mark for giving these people an outlet to tell their story, we’re all listening!!
She is a good Storyteller for sure. Really would like to hear from her Mother WTF she thought about her Role in this.

I wrote my first comment before I heard her say she had her bedroom door removed...
I’m so terribly sorry for what you had to endure. Take very good care of yourself.
The mum is absolutely complicit.
Gracie, you are a very bright and self aware young woman. I'm so sorry for what you have gone through. None of it is your fault. Wishing you all the best. You deserve to be happy and free from the chains of trauma.

If I can ever be of any help please let me know..... thank you so much for the work you do.... you are seen by many who may be silent.... much like me.
What a smart, vulnerable young woman. I can see her having a bright future and not attracting ugliness into her life. Good luck to you Gracie! You deserve the best life ❤

It may be a visual problem. 'jus sayin'
This has been the most impactful and profound interview for me. thank you Gracie 🖤
So self-aware and so inspiring! I’m really sorry for the trauma you experienced and had to endure during your childhood. I really love your energy and vibe and how everything you’ve been through you’re able to forgive and continue spread that positive light. Thank you for sharing Gracie, really appreciate listening to this one!
Interviews like this one are some of my favorites because you can see the growth and it's inspiring
Absolutely inspiring her strength! Such a healthy insight and perspective. Thank you so much
It's one thing for a predator to violate and get caught but it's a whole other thing when ya bio parent has basically served you up to the violator...There's so much strength in you hugs for your bravery❤
Wow, what an incredible human! I hung on every word. Through it all, she seemed to have a really big heart. That was eye opening. And now I see her name is Grace. How appropriate. Thank you Grace. You are amazing.
Very intelligent really sensitive and empathetic,she is still young still finding herself,She would make an amazing therapist,I hope she really goes into mental health profession ,wise soul.
I started watching these videos and thought I had a normal, dull, life. I was wrong, my life has been a miraculous. I appreciate the perspective. I'm very grateful and won't take it for granted....
This is the soul of a gentle warrior ❤
Wow amazing she is so poised and rational given what she has been through.
I hope she finds the peace she deserves
I can relate so much to you♡ my mom just passed a few days back. I was a severely abused & neglected until I left at 15. Her dying brought back to life so many demons that I buried:( I was molested,abused,unwanted,& was invisible. She too had a bad childhood. She was an addict,bad temper,depressed,&possibly bipolar. My escape was music,books,& nature♡ And My Bible. My step dad also beat my mom.She also tried to commit suicide infront of us.And she'd make my little brother and I smoke pot(she made me around 7years old &my brother around 6) Please always remember that you're stronger than anything that tries to break you!💝 and we're stronger than the demons that we fight. You're a beautiful person & soul! I'm so proud of you!!❤
Congratulations on your sobriety. It gets better and better. You are a very wise young woman. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you joy, love and peace.
Gracie, I'm only at 1:58 seconds. If you can feel those words, you're gonna be more than fine! Thank you for reading this to all of us, and keep those concepts close.
It’s so crazy to me how this generation of children is so much more aware, and willing to spare the feelings of others then our parents. Our parents didn’t care about how we felt but we strive every day to make sure that we are saving their feelings. we don’t want to hurt them like they did us.
Thank You Mark for introducing us to Grace. So Smart Wise and Strong. True Friends more true friends precious to have. You definitely look great, short hair is awesomeness. Great sense of humor. 🙏 🙏 🙏 prayers for happiness
Such compassionate strength and understanding of the human spirit ! time and time again, what inadequate, damaging females can do to the innocence of children- is heartbreaking. "It was what I thought was just normal, as a child" really hit home. I wish you all the love in the world... x x the hardest thing on the planet is questioning a mother as an adult. They know when something isn't right. X
You should try to do the kids of of the Turpin family crazy story
For real that shit is nuts
That would be something. Those Turpin parents were real scumbags.
@@talonmadc i love so close to the city that shit was in
You are Amazing! ❤ And, a beautiful person... inside and out! Your going do Amazing things ✨️Wish you the best ❤
Just can’t get over how amazing she is!! Only 22?? Great attitude ❤️
this has to be one of the purest hearts ive seen from one empath to another. just love her energy and spirit. would love to have this person in my life as a decent human
Victoria , I wish you nothing but the best. 😊
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
This young lady is exceptional Life is hard at its best She has learned the principal of making decisions to press forward Good luck young lady❤
This young person is emotionally mature far beyond their years. It’s refreshing to see someone her age who can understand personal growth like she can. She seems like a wonderful person. I hope she continues down the path she’s on. I am nothing short of impressed by the person she was able to become in spite of her rough beginning. Wow. ❤
This is so sad when someone who needs protection the most, protects others...
I am 32 minutes in and I am amazed she hasn't broken down and cried. Wild.
