- I've not found this anywhere on RUclips and it really needs to be seen. A long, detailed interview with Anne-Marie West conducted at the time of Rose West's conviction and when 25 Cromwell Street was still standing. It is harrowing viewing. She is absolutely a survivor. Converted from one of my old VHS tapes.

The worst part of this is when she says she isn't proud of what she's done and that she's afraid her children won't be proud. You didn't do anything darling, you were subjected to horrific abuse and none of it was your fault
Listening to this as a 50 year old male parent I want to smash these people into a pulp Anne Marie my heart bleeds for you and your siblings this is barbaric abuse and never your fault
❤️
I was literally shouting at the TV when she said that, its not your fault sweetheart, those 2 were monsters, I just wanted to give her big hug, I hope her and her kids have had a good life since this, sending love to her and her family what an amazing soul 💖
They should be incredibly proud of their mother. Such a strong person. Who will lead them down the right path in life!
She’s a sweetheart isn’t she.. unfortunately very like her dad to look at
This couple was literally the personification of evil
Despite all her horror she seems such an empathic kind woman. I hope she is doing ok ❤️
I also hope she and her siblings are getting all the help and counselling they will need. What a horrific upbringing the all had to suffer.
I hope she ok poor wee love ❤️❤️❤️
@@mariesalouisecarson7452 ❤❤❤
She deserves nothing but happiness in her life.

It’s heart wrenching listening to Anne Marie call herself gutless & guilty. You beautifully strong survivor, you are NOT gutless or guilty. You protected your little siblings for years, you came so close to death that you could’ve touched it and yet you still stood your ground and defended your little siblings. You are an incredible woman, mother & soul and you are the single guardian angel that your siblings had before their tragic passing. None of this is your fault, none of the guilt is yours to carry and I hope wherever you’re living now that you’re living happily and peacefully ❤
What a beautiful comment..God bless you..🙏
She’s not reading this and also trauma and sexual abuse is complex. Are you gonna tell a male pedophile who was himself abused that being a pedophile is okay? She was abused, she’s attracted to incest and young kids. You don’t know more about her than her. She knows what she has done and why she did it
@@ja6975 when did she say she was attracted to incest and young kids.
Think you need to learn to listen 😂
Anne Marie has never been accused of incest or abuse. So I think you need to get your facts straight aswell. She's not a pedophile.
She feels guilty because she didn't protect her siblings. And that she still loved her dad despite what he done to her. That's what she says in the video.
She actually testified against Rose and her uncle John West who were both child abusers.
Making up baseless accusations is sick. So unless you have proof of what you are saying. Jog on.
@@ja6975 no one is talking about Rose.
We're talking about Anne-Marie, who was r*ped repeated by her own father and step-mother from the age of 8, and forced into prostit*tion by them when she was still a child.
That is not anywhere even remotely of her own doing. She is not "attracted to inc*st" and has never been accused nor shown inclination towards "young kids." She was the victim of inc*st, and she was the young kid who adults pr*yed upon.
She is not, and never has been a perpetrator of either of those things.
I can't think of a more disgusting thing you could've made up.
I cried when she said she's not proud of what she did. She never did anything wrong, poor woman, she should never have been through any of that 😔 She shouldn't feel guilty for anything that happened 😢 I just want to hug her 😢
I wish I could tell her myself how sweet and gentle she is, that is a good woman, a good mother...a beautiful person. I have never felt so much empathy for someone I have never met before. I want to hug her too.
@@magnacarywell we don’t know for sure that she is a good mother? How do you know about the effects this has had on her parenting
@@Littleleoshouse Its Jamie Davies I live in England, I hope your alright @Littleleohouse my mate..
@@Littleleoshouse Its Jamie Davies please stop making fun of me please. I've lost my dad with liver cancer 2 years ago please @Littleloshouse my friend!!!!!!!!
@@jamiedavies4545 very sorry hope you are ok
Anne Marie my darling, I wish I could reach through the screen and hug you. I’m so, so sorry for everything you went through as a child and I hope you know beyond any doubt whatsoever that you are not to blame for anything that happened to you. You are not gutless, you are not a coward, nor were you then. You are an amazing woman, a true survivor and I wish you everything good in this world. Please know, you are loved by millions who don’t know you personally but admire your sheer will and strength ❤️❤️❤️
Well said Laura! You are an incredibly empathetic human being.
I feel her pain this beautiful soul Ann Marie. If you ever get to see how so many people care. Don't ever think you are not someone to be proud of. My God girl you are incredibly brave, strong, caring and loving Mother. You where your siblings Mother. When your real Momma went to see Jesus. You protected them from certain abuse you saved what you could of some of their childhood that you were so cheated out of and it made you a absolutely powerful strong woman. Your children will be nothing but proud. I pray for you and your family.
Beautifully put. I agree wholeheartedly.
Well said..I was so upset when she said she was a coward and gutless and did as she was told - SHE WAS A CHILD!!! Manipulated and the victim of mind games from a very young age
@Laura Gibson beautiful stated - Anne Marie you are a queen I hope your life has been good to you
The fact this lady still functions and can still tell you her story is a miracle, she really is special.... when you think your life is hard and you hear this💔💔
Who knows what hell she has inside
My God, the poor woman is still calling her rapists ‘gentlemen’
And I guarantee, your children will be THE proudest children, there ever was. You are an amazingly brave, beautiful and inspirational woman.
My thoughts exactly such a Gentlewoman bless you Anne Marie my 💔 breaks your children will be proud what a survivor courageous lady 🌻🌼🏵🌹🍃
I imagine by speaking of those men as "gentlemen" it was a way to separate herself from the reality of what was happening, the brains way of compartmentalizing the trauma for her ongoing survival
Ann-Marie? Please, please please, there is no guilt, you did no wrong, your children will be proud of you. You did no wrong, truly you did no wrong. What a strong, strong woman you are, this is why your children will be proud of you, your incredible strength.
Ann-Marie, if a single one of your children is less than absolutely proud of you, send them to me: I'll explain why they should be.
Sounds if she's got the stock Holm syndrome poor woman she's so strong she has no idea just how amazing she truly is 😥😥😥💔💔💔💔💔
What a Brave Lady .
This humble, quietly spoken, tortured woman, my heart breaks for her. She deserves so much better.
People who were fortunate enough not to have had dysfunctional childhoods cannot fathom the level of compartmentalization and dissociation needed in order to survive into adulthood. It takes a lifetime to deal with craziness inflicted on you during childhood.
Yup... Compartmentalize and lock it away. And then something happens, usually the death of the abuser, you sigh in relief, you let your guard down, and suddenly that compartment unlocks like a pandoras box... Then starts the ptsd, the self doubt, the what ifs, the depression and self pity, the guilt, and total confusion... You want to escape and run away.... And you wonder, how could you have held all that together and function and just do what you had to do untill that day, but now are just falling apart at the seams. This is my experience, and when i watch these kind of interviews of people who have gone trough horrendous abuse, and this girl went trough the worst, i wonder, do they feel the same way i do? And if they are able to function, how?
@@guntaf1349 I agree. She is an amazing soul.
She has more grace than I’ve ever seen before.
And she's just simply beautiful!!!
Grace is a good word for her.
she actually reminds me of princess diana in the way that the way she spoke
Yes, she is filled with grace. She is beauty and grace personified
I appreciate that the documentary is narrated by her and focuses on her and not the killers. Her voice is angelic, which makes it so difficult to hear her tragic experiences. I know this is an old documentary but i hope that she found happiness, comfort and safety in her life.
She is completely dissociated.
Poor girl.
This is wicked. Absolutely.
Wicked mean awesome in Australia 🇦🇺
Wicked in uk has 2 meanings...she means wicked as in evil
@@andrewturvill7145 exactly. Evil and cruel .
@@heatherhall3452 what a stupid comment 🤷🏼♀️
@@andrewturvill7145 No. "Wicked" in the UK has only ONE meaning - evil. Anything else is arbitary.
Somebody needs to assure this poor woman that she has done NOTHING wrong!!!!!!
I’m sure many people have. I hope she is learning to believe it herself.
Everyone's always giving the reason for serial killers being created is purely down to them been abused as children, but Anne was so horrifically abused yet still protected her siblings and loved her children, like the majority of abuse victims.
I think it's a case of most abusers were abused. But not everyone that had been abused becomes an abuser.
Yes it can go either way, either feeling like trash and not wanting ur kids to go through it or u learn that thats how it should be:)
Abuse in childhood is undeniably a risk factor for future abusers. I feel so sad fir them for what they went through as a child. But as an adult you make choices. Many many abused children do not go on to be abusers themselves. They are heroes
@@india1422 Fred and Rosemary West were abused as children, he by his parents, she by her father, but they chose to be abusers themselves. Anne Marie didn't.
Which is why, unless your crime is against your abuser, I have no mercy for them. Abused children know the pain. To abuse an innocent is wrong. No excuse.
I saw this a few years back and because she told her story, i wrote my life and upbringing into a book. Not the same as hers but it was traumatic. Everyone's trauma is individual to them, like a finger print. I do believe sharing our stories, weakens the power these monsters have over us. Finally self publishing on 25th march 2021!
Congratulations!
Please advise of the title, I'd like to preorder, look out for it, support you in any way I can, there is a strength within everyone, but that ,the strength of ANYONE who's survived such depravity,is a whole other level.
Stand tall be proud.
YOU have ,you TAKE and you show no other can hold power over you ever again.
Astonishingly inspirational.xx
@@HandleForElleJay thankyou so much. It means the world to me when i hear such kind words. I dont know about pre orders but its called Sweet Dreams by Andrew Turvill. Shouls hit the internet, ebooks, print to order on 25th of March 2021. It was hard to write but it was something i wanted to do and hope to help others. Reading what you say about no one holding power over me again is spot on! Writing it, freed me and i took back control of my life.
@@andrewturvill7145 please comment on this when it's released
@@cillamoke i will do! ❤
I've met her briefly. She's lovely. I so wish I could talk to her more. I have severe depression & can't work right now. I so wish I could ask how she carries on. She's my hero. She gives me hope but I would never want to bring up all this past horror to her. I just want her to live a long happy life. She continues to be my inspiration
I would love to meet her, but what could I say? I wouldn't talk about what she's been through, and she must surely know how much she is admired.
"I was just trying to get someone to love me" Absolutely heartbreaking. Poor woman.
This lady is the personification of strength.
What this young girl suffered was horrific. The fathers dead and that rose should be strung up. God bless you dear girl
I hope she is never released from prison, I don’t think she would last long if she was
I hope she has managed to find some peace in adult life, poor woman.
Horrific, very hard to watch and even harder to comprehend how anyone could do these things to a child
What a strong woman , hope she’s had the help to heal and live a happy life 😔
Its Jamie Davies I hope your alright Jo Connor my mate.
Human nature is so cruel. This is hard to watch because not only is she putting all the guilt on herself, but the publics reactions towards her when she is out and about with her children. She is also a victim and her fathers evil is not hereditary.
@@sheelahales4738 Its Jamie Davies how are you sheela Hales?
Live a “Happy” life? How fucking clued out can you be even after seeing this? It never ends... it wrecks your core identity... that’s like saying you hope an amputee recovers and grows a new fkn arm. FFS.
I’m not even half way through and I can’t watch this. Poor lady to suffer at the hands of her despicable father and that evil women. I sincerely hope she’s doing ok today, 💕
I'm sure her children are extremely proud of their wonderful mother. She has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
These interviews were hypnotic. I'm 61 years old and have never experienced anything quite like this. She seems such an incredibly beautiful soul. There is no limit to the evil that man can do but she has a kind of redeeming goodness and gentleness about her. God bless her and all other survivors.
A heartbreaking interview that left me with so much respect for the dignity shown by this lady. I was so horribly shocked by some of the comments left here about an abused child, a child who suffered unimaginable horrors inflicted by the people who should have loved and cared for her. How can anybody hold her responsible in any way? How can anybody say she knows more than she's saying?! Or say she isn't a victim? She was just a little girl you horrible human beings.
“He was nice to me” “I just wanted someone to love me” 😭😭😭 I’ve used a year worth of tears watching this documentary and I’m only half way through
Bless her sweet soul - "I just wanted someone to love me" - that hit hard 🙏❤
Oh my goodness this woman is so precious. She is absolutely wonderful, a true hero. And anyone who has the pleasure of knowing her would be exceptionally proud of her. She deserves so much happiness and I just hope, some how she can heal. We are all sending so much love to a outstanding lady xxx
Every one of those children who lived through that horrific upbringing should be treated as survivors, they did nothing wrong and when I hear this polite, soft spoken woman describe her fears that her children may not be proud of her it breaks my heart. I do hope that she has some counselling and can realise how truly courageous she is and can find some inner peace and release the guilt she carries with her. She has nothing to feel guilty for. At all.
I read Anna's book Out of the Shadows. Her life was horrific. So glad she has survived and come through it. I'm sure she has terrible PTSD. It's not your fault Anna, it was them. this was heartbreaking. she is completely disassociated when she speaks about the abuse
I read it too, I admire her so much for surviving what her parents put her through
A very special lady indeed
Hope she finds peace
A book I need to read- abuse is so very hard to heal from and forgive and mine was nothing like hers- what a strong, fine young woman she is, considering the torments she endured. Truly a special person- I wish her well...Namaste from a sympathizer in Canada
Anne Marie is the bravest of the brave, I can't imagine what it was like to go through a second of her life with psychopathic parents. I understand from media reports that Rose West is leading the life of riley in prison so justice has never been served. My heart goes out to all the victims of Fred and Rosemary West, the living and the deceased.
This lady had cryd so much she can't shed a tear no more . Those who knows no when u can't cry no more
I know this...
Omg poor girl she is beautiful.yes a true survivor.The parents were truly sick.
It's strange how such a beast could have such pretty children.. she has a lovely smile, too bad she didn't get to use it much growing up.
Her mother wasn't Rose West.
She was Rena Costello.
BEAUTIFUL!!😍😍
Those poor children never stood a chance with parents like that. I'm in awe at Anne-Marie's considerable courage. Thank you for telling your story. Hope you and your family have found some measure of peace over the years...
Thank you GuildfordGhost for posting this. Although absolutely horrendous to listen too, it needs to be seen for the sake of Anne Marie, her mother and her siblings. She is a remarkable human being and deserves to be heard by everyone. Her words at the end, "be that nosey neighbour.. for the sake of the children" sums everything up.. I really hope Anne Marie is happy and loved as an older woman and her children let her know how proud they are of her.
I would hug you , you're still living a nightmare from the memories you have, you're not guilty of the crimes your parents committed. I hope one day you will feel more peace xx
🙈no matter how many programmes I've seen about the wests,as much news as I've seen,read the book,,,I didn't think it could get any worse,, until I watched this!!!my brain can't comprehend it,,, horrendous doesn't come close ,,this woman is what you call a warrior!!!
My god shes a hero, I bet her kids have known nothing but love, so sad I cried again watching this such a sweetheart 😢
Even with the time that has past this remains one powerful documentary.
She's so so strong. So mild mannered and well spoken. I'm so sorry she went through this. A life forever tormented.
This poor young woman. She looks so broken. My heart goes out to her. I hope she has been given help and counselling over the years. 😢😢
A Psychiatrist would be a good start, most counsellors are not equipped to deal with deep trauma issues like this..
@@heatherhall3452 psychiatrists deal with patients via medication who have a diagnosis of mental illness . Counsellors are highly trained to to help people who have undergone serious sexual and /or physical trauma ...
It is quite astonishing that someone brought up by Fred and Rose West could be so kind-hearted and empathetic.
How awful. She seems a very articulate, strong woman . Hope you can heal my lovely xxxx
Poor woman. I dont think theres any therapy in existance that could heal the trauma she has suffered.
The fact that people were so cruel and abusive towards her yet she worrys that others might judge her shows how sensitive and caring person she is.
Very nice lady with immense inner strength.
Thank you Anne Marie for being strong enough to tell the world what happened to you, and your brothers and sisters, at the hands of these two absolute beasts . Bless you ❤💙
The hell this lady endured as a child is just unimaginably horrific, what a brave woman she is, sending you heartfelt wishes Anne-Marie, I hope you've found the happiness you deserve ♥
She relives every word she says in this documentary so very sad to watch , she has risen to be a beautiful brave lady ❤️
This is horrendous, I'm amazed that Anne Marie is a relatively stable person. It's awful to carry guilt for things you had no control over. God bless her.
As an abuse survivor myself.. you are not in anyway responsible for what happened. You are the perfect example of bravery, someone to whom your children can love and be very proud of. Keep strong, be positive.
And that coward Fred committed suicide in prison.......couldn't face the music and the hatred of the other prisoners. And the public.
If you can see this, your children should be proud you survived and broke a terrible cycle. You are amazing. I hope your life since then has been one of unbelievable freedom and fulfillment. I hope you are surrounded by love.
Watching this in 2021 ...these crimes will never be forgotten ... god bless her ..
Her two sisters would be proud of her I'm sure.
This is heartbreaking. The courage she showed in giving this interview after all she suffered is heroic. I hope you are okay Anne Marie wherever you are.
Anne Marie , you are a beautiful soul with a beautiful spirit. I hope with all of my heart that you have had a wonderful and fulfilling life, full of love and happiness. You are brave and courageous beyond words and you shine a very bright light that will act as a beacon for all those who find themselves suffering at the hands of despicable monsters. Bless you and your family , warm thoughts xx
My dear child, you should never ever feel ashamed that you didn’t stand up to your father and step mother. Your even braver for standing up for your siblings, and taking the the beatings yourself. Bless you❤❤ You will be extremely rewarded in your next life for all your sacrifice ❤️❤️❤️ You have made a lot of good karma 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How many more tragic cases exist like this Poor long-suffering woman, because of SOCIAL SERVICES INCOMPETENCE.
A lot. A lot of dead children too. Smh.
What a beautiful and dignified woman God Bless her.
She is totally innocent, her parents were evil . I hope she has found happiness in her life
Want to hug her so bad ... she’s survivor despite all of the terrible things she’s experienced
Rose claimed that Fred did everything, like Myra Hindley claimed that Ian Brady did and that they were poor innocent puppets of evil men but the truth turned out to be rather different, there was at least one murdered at that awful house while Fred was behind bars.
Murdering couples always turn on each other when you read about them the females say they were controlled by the males, even Hindley this and the Canadian couple Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo. The only difference is Bernado got life and Karla only served 12 years
Rose actually killed charmaine while fred was in prison for theft in 1971, then Shirley Robinson and Heather West in 1978 and 1987 respectively while fred was apparently at work. So so cruel, and she actually thinks she is innocent. Proof there is evil beyond this world's comprehension
@@sheelahales4738 The police needed evidence about Paul Bernardo so they offered Karla a plea bargain. They didn’t know that she actively participated in the murders until shortly later they found video tapes hidden in their bathroom ceiling. Canadians are very angry that Homolka is free.
I'm sure Rose killed one of Fred's kids a little girl, when he was in prison, she really was an evil evil monster 💯
@@katesleuth1156
Cant understand why it took so long to get them. All that suffering for so many years.Hope Rosemary rots in hell. Its beyond evil. And still no remorse.
I feel broken for her, you can see as she is telling her story, she is so far away, she is reliving everything she says. God bless you and yours Anne Marie, may you find within yourself a peace that will allow you to live a happier life. Xxx
You are a lovely woman Anne. You have nothing to be ashamed of
beautiful inside and out
Absolutely ❤️
She is a beautiful woman. I hope she is loved.
She’s incredible
Anne Marie - I think you are the strongest, bravest young woman to endure all the abuse you went through for so many years, and managed to survive; You must never feel ashamed for something that wasn't your fault in any way. You have many people seeing this video who support you.
I would love to give this lady a hug, a deep soulful hug that would ease her pain, if only for a moment. Never be ashamed to be a survivor. There are not many people who can say they survived hell but you and your siblings can! Bless you and the child you once were.
I’m watching this in 2021. I hope that she’s ok. Those two were beyond evil ! I was lost for words listening to the horror they inflicted on those poor children!! It makes me sick to know that Rose is still alive and being looked after !! That’s no justice !
I am staggered at how awfully she has been treated. That phone call, when she was in the middle of a children's party...on what planet was that a good idea?! Anne Marie is a survivor. What an amazing human.
I live in Gloucester.
I remember when this all broke
I also remember being pregnant with my daughter and she was working in a shop at the time where I bought some clothes and she came over and asked me how far pregnant I was and seems really lovely but you could see there was such a sadness about her poor woman.
Who was "she" who worked in the clothes shop?
Do U mean Ann - Marie?
@@elderkin01 yes
@@leo1977usa for a moment I thought your daughter must be pretty talented, to be in the womb and work weekends in a department store 😁
@@darganx swear that's what I thought for a second 🤣🤦♀️ keep safe everyone!! 💖
What a lovely gentle woman. My heart breaks for her xxxx
Unbelievably gracious woman. So hard to listen to the abuse she endured. How she became the lovely empathetic woman she is is remarkable.
Anne Marie is a testament to the inner strength of the human spirit to evercome tremendous hardship in childhood and adulthood. Thank God she has that inner strength, resilience and great innate calmness.
Completely unfair and wicked the things these children and the other victims had to endure at the hands of Fred & Rose West, thankfully neither of the West parents will ever force this pain onto anyone else ever again.
I have complete admiration for Anne Marie and her siblings, their bravery in confronting the evil heaped upon them is inspirational.
Thank God? Where was the almighty, all powerful God when this poor child was being raped and abused? Incredible.
A truly brave woman. Much respect to her, to speak out about a truly horrific childhood like she had takes courage. Hope the rest of her life is happy and her children bring her joy.
Thank you for preserving this powerful document. Harrowing it is indeed.
Just completely broke my heart, when this amazingly wonderful person called herself a coward, just broke me to hear her even think that about herself! Lady you’re stronger, amazing and much more successful than many people. Walking around with your head held high and just enjoy how wonderful, strong and amazingly you are! Much love to you 💕🥰🥰
Wow that was very hard to watch and listen to, I don’t know how you’ve come out the other side of that, but your an extraordinary young brave courageous woman to sit and relive that over again.I hope that writing the book was cathartic for you, I also hope that you have found someone who truly loves you like you should’ve been all those years ago to live happily along with your girls,how people would think your anything like you dad is beyond me, Anna Marie you have nothing to be shamed of,I wish they would just leave you all alone so you can hopefully find some peace in all this lots of love and hugs to you 🤗❤️🤗 ❤️
I think all us strangers and your children are absolutely proud of you 100% You survived, you lived to tell and by sharing you are helping countless others as are not alone. You are loved xx
Astonishing how this poor woman retained this much heart and soul. These experiences would destroy most people.
I'm proud of you Anne Marie, you are the voice for victims and you're incredibly brave and strong to have shared this horrifying experience with us
An amazing person turning adversities around to help others, compassionately. A kind and beautiful way.
About 18 years ago I was on holiday in Turkey & at our hotel I met a lady who was a painter & decorator & she did some work at cromwell.she said Fred west was creepy and kept watching her.sent shivers down my spine.my heart goes out to his daughter.
What an incredibly beautiful person.
To endure such torture w/out going insane, this woman must have the strongest spirit and mind of anyone I know!
The beautiful thing about this woman is her conscious understanding that people should have empathy and a conscience about things that are wicked (eg: no questioning how a 15 year old girl is pregnant; the lack of compassion from the hospital staff; people shunning her; the constable informing her over the phone about her sister's death?). Incredibly, she has a clear sense of right and wrong.
Wow - to see her at her Mother's gravesite - "Im trying to be a good Mum like you were". To call her a survivor is an understatement - words fail me
Dearest Anne-Marie🌸I can’t even begin to imagine how afraid you and your siblings were growing up around such evil and being subjected to such horrific unforgivable torture and abuse🥺I’m so so sorry for all that you all went through and the devastating loss of your loved ones due to the evil inflicted on them. You deserve to be happy Anne-Marie you are an innocent victim and deserve to feel loved and cherished by the ones you love 💕 I pray you’re able to forgive yourself and to realise that actually there’s nothing to forgive and you are a kind and loving person deserving of a happy peaceful life. Sending you love and best wishes🙏🏻🌸💕
Has this woman been receiving any psychological help? She needs it badly. No one could get over these horrible experiences on their own.
This woman has so much class its unreal empathetic nice and grounded i hope she is doing well .
I read Anne Marie's book Out the shadows, and I couldn't get over how brave and courageous she was x I hope she found some kind of peace and was able to live a happy life xx
She shows all the signs of a person who has suffered prolonged trauma. Somewhere out there, there are hundreds of men that know they paid money for sex in that house and contributed to the trauma of this precious Lady and all the West children. I pray for a life of healing and real love to those children. And the world of patience to the people around them. Trauma takes a long time to heal.
Very true. They never try to track and expose the paedophiles who abused the children.
Sending all the love your heart can hold beautiful, brave angel. Please don't let people's ugly ignorance hurt you. You are a better , more worthy human being than any who would wish you ill. With respect and wishes that yourself and your children come to know peace 💓💓💓
There are no words to describe how I feel right now..........a shocked emptiness?
This documentary should be aired every year on prime time TV, because everyone should know and learn from it. No child should have to suffer abuse, neglect, or fear!!!
I don't know how this lady copes with her memories and the notoriety of her parents. She is very brave, but one wonders how many other similar incidents we do not hear about and how those innocents suffer in silence.
An amazing woman and a credit to her children!
Shows that no matter what terrible things some people are forced to endure, you can still grow up to be deeply empathetic and kind.
I hope Anna and her remaining siblings are all doing ok, more so after the loss of Barry.
This young lady is so traumatised her eyes are so sad, and in a trance. Oh god please help this child heal, I have not stopped crying,,.. ..
It's interesting that even for her, although she was used to her father and stepmother, and their behaviour, its still "beyond understanding". Yes, it truly is, especially for outsiders.
I’m lost for words. I just want to hug her and tell her she’s amazing and guilty of nothing. I’m sure she’s heard it all 1000 times before, I truly hope she knows this now and has found some peace and happiness. God bless you Ann-Marie, the ultimate survivor xx
Wow!! Im totally lost for words. What a lovely brave well spoken woman x Why do ppl blame the children for the sins of their parents.. Horrible ugly people , traumatised their own family, not to mention the families of those other poor victims x To Anne marie....Keep your head up high... youv done nothing wrong... raise your children well, they will not only respect you they will admire the strong woman you are.. a good loving mum xx Bless you all xx
I bet this lovely lady a couple of years ago and she is a true survivor. So friendly and kind.
I'm really pleased to hear this. I have no idea what I could say to her but I am full of admiration.
