The amount of people on this channel who experienced sexual abuse as a child is scary . There is so much evil in the world right in front of our faces they need to start locking people who hurt children up for life !!!

Thank you everyone for all the positive feedback and encouragement I hope my story reaches someone that can relate I’ll pray you get the help you need ❤😊

That prominent family in CT should be shouted out, I hope all of Newtown knows what animals they are. I can’t believe they had no legal recourse.

She's been through so much but she still seems warm towards people. Amazing woman.

I completely understand where she is coming from. I too was molested by 3 different people in my childhood, almost a 4th one but luckily I was 14 years old and was able to tell my dad right away. I never did tell my parents about the first 3 until I was an adult. I suppressed it all and suffered from major anxiety and depression. I’m 53 years old and still hold so much trauma inside. I wish I could protect all the children in the world who suffer at the hands of all these child abusers.

What a horrible experience.  Those foster care people need to be thoroughly investigated before allowing children to be left alone in their care.  I've heard other horror stories like this one.  The whole foster care/adoption system needs a complete overhaul with tighter regulations in favour of the safety and protection of the children and their natural parents if they want their children back.  This woman seems to be doing much better and survived the nightmare thankfully.  Those people who abused this woman and her sister as children should be in prison for life.

I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor and recovering drug addict. I was addicted to crack cocaine and meth. I also had an alcohol problem. I also have recently been diagnosed with autism at 43. I've been clean since April 2017. I'm also gay and married. I can relate to some people that you have interviewed. You are doing a great service to the world. You treat everyone with respect that you interview.

Listening to her is like watching someone lifting weights that are too heavy for humans to lift. You're incredible.

She’s such a beautiful resilient spirit that endured a terrible life experience. I’m sorry this happen to her and I pray that she will continue to live and  go beyond survive but thrive !!!

Her bandaid analogy at the end was beautiful. I think anyone who's had mental health struggles, big or small can relate.

I had the pleasure of living in Guam for 3 years. The Chamoro people have a really rich culture and they accepted me and my family with open arms. They are some of the warmest people I have ever met.  When I meet someone from Guam in the States, I always try to pay it forward if they need anything.

So sad how her mother left them in the car like that. 😢
I can’t imagine what you have been through Michelle but I am happy you are still here! You seem like a good person and you are obviously here for a reason! I hope you finally get to live a happy and fulfilled life! Thank you for sharing! 🙏

True survivor, & not an ounce of self-pity. Remarkable. Yes, the adoptive mother took her anger out on you. Best of luck to you. 💖

I hope her husband and children get therapy too to handle what happened.
They endured a lot too with the suicide attempts.

Growing up adopted is tough. I was adopted from Chile and once I turned 30, I wanted to learn my health history, met with a adoptee organization, and they found out through police and files that I was stolen from a underground mob, stealing children from lower class/poor mothers and lying to them about new borns death and then make money off shipping adopted children to the USA or Netherlands. It messed me up a little.

..Lesson by Michelle: think twice before you tell adopted parents how great they are for adopting kids, especially in front of those kids.

I'm a survivor of abuse. Life has been horrific, but now I live by a quote - "I did the best I knew how. When I knew better, I did better."  Sending many prayers, much love and healing light.

This story is heart breaking 💔 childhood trauma can last forever.  I'm happy that after all the abuse and demons she battles ...she can be a good mother. I'm proud of her.

She is so brave, so brave at being vulnerable. She is so real and deserves to be in peace. I love her.

I want to share my story!! I went through it from age 5 to 18. I struggle with Ptsd, borderline personality disorder, I'm on a range of medication for psychiatric disorders and currently seeing a therapist I wish I could share my story! We're survivors! God has been my biggest help
