This is amazing how alert she was. So messed up she was hurt & taken advantage of. ❤😢

😢 This is the saddest thing I've ever heard. God rest her precious soul. She did not deserve this evil. No, one does!

I just couldn't stop thinking about my own mother/grandma...its just , I'm actually speechless, so sad but so proud that she made it thru and he was held accountable. That girlfriend should have had some sort of charges for fraud and theft and get compensation from her

I is so sad to hear this! But may Mary's soul rest in peace and may God be with her!!!❤

Hope your words help another,

That poor, sweet lady. It's so unfair that she went through so much torture.

Most of us entered the World through the legs of a Woman HAVE SOME RESPECT

Outrageous! Who does this? Ms. Mary is resting in power now.

THEY WERE ABUSING THE POOR WOMAN'S MONEY AS WELL? THAT'S STUPID BULL CRAP.

I wish I could get my hands on…. Never mind I can’t say it on the internet!!!

I’m assuming Mrs Mary passed by now, I hope she rest in peace! To those who abused her life will take care of them !

Called every dv number/ hotline I've found for yrs. Aftr 17 yrs left on the assurance of advocate there was help. Now homeless/couch surfing after these agencies denying help unless one has minor children. These empty promises need to stop. Hlth issues and job skills outdated. Faced with very real possibility of having to take early SS just to have money for essentials. After speaking with SSA, if you take it early, then return to work within a year, you have to pay it back. A no win situation.

Gosh i went through this in 2016 with my brother and sister abusing my demented, 85-year-old mother in every way except sexually. I had to get lawyers, hospital administration, and court guardianship in place to save her life and legally protect her from them. I developed C-PTSD from the trauma of the circumstances specifically and facing the reality of the depths of my siblings' capacities for committing acts of pure evil. I managed my mother's care through 2022 in private memory care until her peaceful death. I am currently 66 years old and I have estranged myself from my 29-year-old daughter due to her disrespectful and abusive behaviors towards me these past six years (she does not live with me and i will never allow her to). I am going to meet with an elder care attorney to find out how i can protect myself from her as I age, including my estate. She is my only child. I know first-hand how bad this situation can become and i am not going to take any chances with it. I have no other family so figuring this out is not easy. I am especially concerned about possibly developing dementia too and how to protect myself from her in that scenario. I do have a very strong faith in God so I am not worried, per se; I just want to apply the best wisdom.

Such a great lady.

Do disturbing 😢

I don't care what race you are I love all my elders and God have a special place in hell for people that mistreat elderly people how evil and cold hearted can people be what goes around comes back around ten fold.🙏🏼😓

This is heart breaking! 😢

Omg😢

Humanity never ceases to disappoint me. This poor lady should have never went through that. Her generation made so many sacrifices so that we can live and be here today.

What an absolutely amazing lady God bless her ❤

So many monsters 👹 in this world! So scary 😱

I'm soooo glad she was mentally able to tell her story!!!... this is really sad....I 🙏🏿 that Billie and the rest of the family be served to the fullest extent!!!

all I want to hear is Bill is in prison and the rest of the family members that took her money....some sick ppl and this saddens me to the max!!!

One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't file a police report on my rapist, but then again it was boyfriend at the time and I was so young I didn't even realize it was rape. I wouldn't have doubted it if it wouldn't have been my boyfriend, but somehow I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that rape could even occur in a relationship. At only sixteen and with massive manipulation and emotional abuse, I thought it was my duty as a girlfriend to do whatever my boyfriend wanted to do. I didn't want to be a disappointment of a girlfriend (which he daily made clear that I was, both literally telling me so and showing me by behavior), didn't want him to get angry with me, leave me or make me feel more worthless than I already felt. I remember my soul begging my muscles to move and my mouth to form the simple word "no" or "stop" or "I don't want to", but I couldn't. All the way through I over and over again imagined myself saying no, but just couldn't do it. It was like when you want to jump from a high cliff into the water and decide to jump but then can't do it anyways. I've never experienced that amount of fear, pain and hopelessness that I did that night, just begging it would be over. PTSD took several years of my precious youth years, without even me realizing that's what it was. Dating was impossible for several years and is still hard when it comes to intimacy, though lately I've been going to a special therapist and it helps more than words can say. Those people dedicating their profession to help us are true angels.

Bless this woman… may you rest now.. no longer in this evil evil world!

There is always men...😮😢😢...

I would have never lived with them. Setup automatic payments,

My mother hit me from a young age til I was 16 & big enough to stop her. I didn't trust a man wouldn't hit me if he wanted to harm me. So I vowed never to marry; and that saved both our lives.

Thats what i hate about therapy..."waiting for her to go thru the denial " im enraged by that!!!

The creep of a grandson has the last name of Johns & this took place in Florida over two decades ago. I used to use this video as an example when I gave talks at conferences, regarding abuse, neglect, exploitation & misappropriation of the elderly. Unfortunately, there are many more examples than this, just as horrific. People are disturbing, for sure.

Continue resting in power and peace with our Lord, Miss Mary. I worked for the D.A. in my city, and in order to become a part of his staff, you had to serve at least one year in the field with victims. He said that when you do this, you will know exactly why you work for the prosecution. He wasn’t kidding. By the time I completed my term, I wanted to be the person administering the death penalty procedure. I was placed as a victim’s advocate. I met them at the hospital. One such case has stayed with me my entire life. I was called, on night shift that week, there had been an assault and rape. I didn’t know at the time, but found out I was chosen because I was the one they knew would handle the situation the best. I entered through the emergency doors and signed in. I went to the staff and was told which room my client was in. I took a breath and steadied myself. I was informed that it was a bad one. It was too quiet among the staff. Being a trauma 1 hospital, they see everything. I knocked and said, 'This is _____. May I come in?' giving them their power at every possible place. I cracked the door and repeated. I heard an almost inaudible, 'ok.' I went in and pulled open the curtain and saw only a little girl. I stopped and said, 'oops, I’m sorry. I came to the wrong room.' And backed out. Back at the station, I asked where the victim was. I was told the same thing. No, I went in there, and there’s a little girl. ‘She is your patient,' she’s 9 years old and was raped by her mother’s boyfriend. I then knew the reason for the silence among the staff. I straightened up and went back. She was even younger looking than 9. A pale, beautiful blonde girl, who’d just been put through the worst nightmare of her life. We sat together waiting for social services to arrive. One had to be present with any child 12 and under. An officer had been near the door and was now guarding the entrance to her room. It became worse as I went forward. Assaulting anyone is a heinous crime. But elders and tender-aged children are despicable. There has to be a different hell for them. M.O.

I can't listen. 😢Usual suspects. HIS FACE should be on the thumbnail so everyone can see the monster #AmericanInsanity

The usual suspects AND they're in Florida. #AmericanInsanity

This made me sick. I hope every day her grandson is reminded by inmates that he is a bad seed.RIP Miss Mary 😢

That r**e gene never left those recessives. They only doing it to their own now coz the dont have enslaved Black ppl or their half Black children to do it to.

How I wish I still had my grandmother.

What I'd give to get my hands on Bill.

This sounds like my ex DIL, she was a master scammer and so slimmy shes never been caught. its infuriating the things my son and grandsons went through because of her trail of terror. Good riddance 😢she also stole all my jewlery etc...

In the old days if you had elder abuse the pros assumed it was payback for being an abusive parent.. now its an epidemice of selfishness and control for nothing.

The fact that this brave woman managed to turn all the pain, suffering and bad experiences around and is not only moving on with a better life, but is educating others as well. Wonderful. It breaks my heart that anyone of either gender has gone through this at all, never mind for years. I'm very single now at 49. But in my first relationship at 24 for 10 years, I put up with some questionable behaviour from him. Never physical. Mood things. Disappearing for a weekend without saying anything. Should have split way before we did.

Disgusting that poor dear lady shame on her family

I live in Jax and this is my first time seeing this. Sick.

He will not fare well in hell i tell ya that much.

Compartmentalizing mentally to survive. Part of denial.

Street Angel , House Monster

What this lady says about therapy, or rather, what she realized about it, is quite crucial. I never could understand, why that stigma won't move. When you strain your ancle or break it, you go to the hospital. When you get confused and teared up inside, you can't? The help of a fysical kind is OK, the help of a mental kind is weak? How narrowminded and stupid. She puts it into words perfectly though: people think you're weak. What do YOU care, what other people think? Even when they're your friends and family. And it's also not like: now I'm bound for life to psychotherapy- if it turns out not to be helpful to you, then you end it. Period.

This video triggers so much bad memories. I'm 61. My thoughts on the matter: you only get in denial, when there's no way out. Doesn't matter if that's really true, or in your head. You can FEEL you're stuck, for instance because there are young children involved. Or you are bound financially. I was in a psychological abusive relationship for 15 years and it became bad, worse, worst. In the meantime my father, that I had an incredibly close relationship with, since my mom died, was getting demented from Parkinson's disease and died. During that time he was helpful, but after my dad passed....it was as if he realised that I had nobody else left.(I have one halfbrother that I'm not in touch with) He hit me once, but his blow-ups were much worse. He screamed and shouted at me every day and I can't express what that does to a person. We are wired to get alarmed, when screaming occurs; the cry from a primate can reach over 3 miles to warn others. I lost 28 lbs in the last months from pure stress. I started to faint. (this was in februari this year), couldn't eat anymore from stress. Not to mention the incredible frustration, when you're raised to solve conflict with reasonable arguments and someone that's supposedly loves you, is only screaming in your face at every tiny problem, flicks the remote through the room, kicks holes in doors, etcetera. Without you even being able to explain or talk. Then I became seriously depressed, got into therapy and my therapist did everything he could to get through to me, that this was never going to change, but only getting worse. He was right. My problem was also, that I knew exactly where his behaviour stemmed from: his own alcoholic and very abusive father. That knocked his moms teeth out in a drunken stupor. My ex had (of course!) PTSD but didn't want to know about therapy; his "solution" was the church. That didn't help either. As could be expected. I finally worked him out of MY house in june this year. 15 years of my life gone. All that energy, pain, denial, hurt, fixing, knowledge of this not being ok, but I didn't want to be alone. Again. This is one of the reasons why I do not have children. Licking my wounds today, trying to feel at home in my home. Getting creative again and having the inner peace to paint. That makes me very happy. My heart doesn't start racing anymore when I hear someone at the front door. Enjoying the few but very loving friends I have. Feeling much, much better now. Just wanted to say, that even when you're not fysically abused, the psychological abuse is absolutely also devistating. Gaslighting, lovebombing, grooming. Stockholm syndrome. Etcetera. One more thing: I'm all for a law, where people, when they want to have children, are obliged by the state to take parenting classes. When you think you don't need those, you have to do an exam. Only when you get through, you're excused. Of course this is not going to happen. But I've seen so much damage around me, brought on just by wrong parenting. Things like: being emotional neglected but spoiled at the same time. Apologies for this longwinded reply, but I nearly exploded with emotions, seeing this lady telling her story.

❤ Rest in peace. Dear Mary. I loved my Grandma so sorry you got abused.
