Wow my heart is broken. No child ever deserves treatment like that. I can relate to the sexual abuse i dealt with a decade of it from ages 4-14 and it’s been the singular thing that’s had the most profound impact on me. She reminds me so much of one of best friends, they went through very similar abuse. I really wish her the best, she deserves so much more than she what was subjected to.

Brianna, I can't even begin to understand the trials and tribulations you have not only endured but have overcome to become the beautiful, smart, and articulate woman that you are. I can't wrap my mind around people that can harm their own children. Mental and physical abuse is bad enough,,,but the sexual abuse is what really seems to break so many fragile souls. So many people turn to drugs to deal with the pain. Easier said than done i know,,,,but try to focus on your future and find something that you love to do, and make beautiful memories. I mean it, you are a beautiful woman who has so much to offer someone. Don't let your past dictate your future. Make the time to cultivate some close friendships. Believe me when I tell you, time passes soooo fast. It feels like yesterday I was 23 years old, and I just turned 60. My life is full of regrets, so many things I never did, so many chances I never took, yada, yada, yada. I was diagnosed with a rare muscle disease that has taken my strength, has almost taken my ability to walk, and causes me to stumble constantly due to terrible balance issues. ( I told all my neighbors about my disease so that they didn't think I was drunk or stoned due to my erratic body movements.) Getting old really blows. Sorry, kinda got off track a bit, but that was my way of saying live your best life, take a few chances, push yourself to do something that makes you uncomfortable. I pray your physical ailments ease up. Thank you for being so brave to share your life with us. And lastly, may your life going forward be filled with Love, happiness, inspiration, and laughter. Lots, and lots of Laughter! 😆

Being a Stepmom was the most endearing experience of my life and I was only in my mid twenties and it felt really nice that the mom trusted me with her child . He would lie to both of us for years until I finally just couldn’t take the lies and deceit anymore. It was really hard and sad that I didn’t really get to see her anymore because life just goes on, but I continued to see her on and off for about a year or so. That’s why I hate to hear when these Stepmom’s are so mean to the 7:35 kids. My heart breaks for her and please know what a beautiful woman you have become and I am so proud of you for being your age and being your brothers protector. God Bless your Aunt and friend for rescuing you. 😇😇🙏🙏🥰

How on earth did that friend’s Dad not go to jail??? The cousin taking her directly to the police station - that is love. And the right message to her - sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse is NEVER ok. This wonderful woman has been through incredible abuse, countered by love from her wonderful aunt and cousin, her “kids” and her kids. It’s so good to hear she is not doing alcohol or drugs. Definitely not alcohol - that destroys the microbiome too. She is a rock. And an inspiration.
