An Uncle molesting you from the age of 5-13 years old is not considered any type of relationship. The adults who keep letting the predator around the child had the relationship with the predator. The victim which turns into a survivor never had any type of relationship with the rapist

@@chadharrod5246 Yes she does have to get off of the drugs. Yes she admitted it is her responsibility to stop taking drugs. She even admitted at an early age she agreed to the drugs. She is still using drugs, but she was not the reason of her addiction. Her parents started getting her high off of heavy drugs at an early age, 10? Shooting morphine into her arms, opiate pills. Not only did her mother turn her into a drug addict. Then she was treated like the other woman after she was raped & forced to be her biological father's girlfriend hmm at the age of 13. So if she needed to be numb at an early age, that's understandable. Like she said, that's all she knows, is getting high on drugs.

Sometimes it’s even as obvious as my friend’s mother passing the crack pipe to her at 15. She said she smoked it because it was the first time she had spent time with her that she could remember. Another girl I know…her father gave her meth at 13 so he could more easily control and sexually abuse her. He figured if she needed the drugs she wouldn’t fight him anymore.

I’m genuinely curious on this mindset I just can’t imagine how human beings can be so heinous. Is it that easy for like minded people to find each other? Do they just think it’s okay because these girls did drugs? Is it just “normal” for some people to rape? I wish there was more research on it because I just really don’t get it.

I too am at a loss for how 5 grown men could do that and be in agreement that that's the right thing to do? High or not another man or group of men could never even attempt that in my presence... I don't get how a man could get enjoyment out of having to force a unwilling sexual encounter... a crying or fighting woman you would think would be a major sexual deterrent but I guess their are some men that are just super mentally sick and fucked up... I don't get it either, I have 2 daughters and I am hyper aware and protective bc I don't trust no one and I'll be damned if my daughter's ever had trauma like that inflicted... just a sick world really and people are evil and vile really.

It may seem like a non issue to some , but practice empathy and think how it must feel for a young girl to have grown up the way, be hurt by those who should have protected her. Any implication that it was consensual or wanted is incredibly damaging. We all er, but regardless I feel pained for her and all victims/survivors.

The story of a female child being pressed into sex by a trusted adult male, and the lady of the house-- often the girl's mother -- seeing the raped child as a rival, tosses her out -- is the story behind the vast majority of girls who are runaways, homeless and who become homeless and deeply damaged women. The narcotics are also a common element. How people can think that they deserve to be parents is beyond me

Even here in Britain our governments plan to help less fortunate people is to give them a one way ticket out of our cities and down to Cornwall. They don’t want to help they just want to move the “problem” around. Xxxxxxxxx

It really makes no sense. Individuals did that to her not every “person of color”. Honestly she ended up in that situation in her life due to the sheer neglect and abuse received from her White parents and she joined a hate group to boot. Seems like the people who took advantage of her the most in her life were White and she has no problem with them.

She actually went on to have consensual sexual relationships with black men. This poor woman's WHITE parents pimped her out, her daddy had sex with her from ages 12-14....so much tragedy! Let's not make this about hating black people. This about dysfunction, drug abuse, neglect, incest and so much more. May Jessica find true peace, she deserves so much better.
@mimi615ville3 жыл бұрын
Wow 😯 her story really touched my heart. I am from Nashville Tennessee & still live in TN. My ex boyfriend lived a little over an hour away in Kentucky. Meth is also really bad there. I had never personally known anyone who used meth, so when I saw him snorting something & asked he said it was pain pills. On another occasion when he was doing it I noticed it looked different and was crystalline powder. My gut knew something was off but he just said it was a different pain pill than from previously. I could write a book about this toxic relationship but I’ll spare y’all the horror. Because of his meth use (which he later admitted but thought he “managed” well) I went through an emotionally & verbally abusive 10 months which brought up old wounds and traumas from my past. He blamed me for all our problems and never once saw meth as a problem for him. Sad part is I still love and care for him bc I could see the real him (sober) and that’s what I loved and it’s been hard letting go.
