As a psychiatrist whose worked in correctional settings for most of my career including at one of the all female state facilities here in CA -I’ve learned that the most inspiring people, those who are capable of deepening one’s understanding of life, are not the so-called ‘influencers’ or those deemed the most ‘successful’ by society’s standards. Rather, I’ve seen those qualities in the people I’ve had the privilege of caring for, often behind bars. Being genuine and sincere-like yourself-takes tremendous inner strength, true resilience, which is the foundation for reinventing oneself, rewriting one’s story, + starting over. I see all of these characteristics in you, & a beautiful soul as well. Thank you for being brave, for telling your story, & in doing so, allowing us to care about you, because we do.

This one is hard, maybe one of the roughest yet. Often these stories make me recall my own childhood. What she says about wandering around scavenging for food as a kid is what i did too. I tried eating bark, plants, cat food, I was just so hungry. But at the exact second that she said she found Captain Crunch in the homeless shelter pantry I was thinking about how my friend next door used to bring out a box of Captain Crunch and let me eat a little, but I couldn't eat too much because she would get in trouble if her mom noticed. Cosmic Captain Crunch connection.

I'll never forget, cool as a cucumber, she said "I was young and I was scared. He raped me once, and I told him you do that again - you're dead. And then he did it again. And he was dead". Some people don't deserve anything less than death.

[@kathleendonson7817]

The many layers of her life are unlike anything I have ever heard. The generational trauma on both sides of her family..including her sisters is deep. It made me remember a friend who showed up at my house every morning before school "to pick me up for school " and ended up eating breakfast every day per my mom's insistence. She would inhale the cereal. After that, my Angel mom started a breakfast program in conjunction with our city's school district. ...because my mom had also known intense hunger and chose to change the generational trauma. Keeping you lifted Dream...and RIP to my amazing mom Esther Palacios Dumont Donson.

[@amicst]

Holy shit.. I had to hold my chest everytime she would tell a portion of the horrendous experiences she had and then say how old she was… I cannot envision anything less unfair than a ten year old having to endure what she has.

This makes me think back to all the other kids in school growing up. All this evil never enters our minds as children. We had no idea how bad some kids actually had it.

You nailed it. A miracle is exactly what she is. It doesn't mean she is 100% healed or that she doesn't still struggle, most of us understand this. It just means that it is a miracle to endure all of that (and we know there is more) and to come out of it as brilliant as she is. I have a suspicion she doesn't accept it when we say how incredible she is she might sit and think of all she still struggles with but its my hope for her that she takes it all in and realizes its true and she is all of these wonderful things we see and hear in her. I hope she feels it when she reads each comment about how incredible she is and deserving of all things good in this world.

And did you notice how Dream had done so much work to understand those in her life who hurt her? Her dad, her mom, her sisters, her 4th grade bully.

[@carolynlomax2827]

As an educator, I have worked very hard to connect with all of my kids through the years and when a child is resistant or angry or gets in trouble regularly, you always know that it’s very likely because they experienced a lot of trauma. These are the kids that need you to love and support them the most. They need you to be kind, persistent, and show them that support every day, even if they initially reject it or continue to reject it. They need to know that at least one person loves them and will always be there for them, no matter what. You need to highlight all of their good qualities and encourage them daily to see their potential. You need to never give up on them. Every little bit makes a difference. It kills me that the entire system failed Dream, that no one was good enough at their jobs and/or cared enough to understand that based on the behaviors Dream was displaying, she had clearly experienced immense trauma, and instead of working hard to reach and support her, they punished her even more. I haven’t watched the second video yet, but I marvel at the strength and vulnerability Dream is able to show through sharing all of the trauma she faced as a child.

[@tnt2324]

@@tnt2324 for sure. While a lot of what you learn as a teacher happens on the job, there should be at least one of two courses mandatory all about recognizing trauma in children and how to properly address it.

The sisters sound like they went into a primitive-survival mode. They subconsciously saw Dream as the runt of the litter/the youngest and because the Father favored her in the worst way possible, the sisters made sure the Father focused on Dream. That way they wouldn't be preyed upon as frequently. It's a survival tactic. I'm sure they feel horrible about it as adult's. But they were also child victims.

[@aliehawhite8616]

Geez, I didn't think any other interview could make me so sad that I get sick to my stomach after watching Marisol but this one got me. I will never understand how an adult that was hurt and abused as a child can have kids and inflict the same hurt and abuse to their own kids, but it is so common, unfortunately.

[@dbznz1465]

Damn. This unlocked something in me. Recently married to a woman who had an amazing upbringing and has helped me her husband through some really rough stuff. I know sometimes I treat her bad (verbally / emotionally) because it’s what I understand but I know it’s not okay. I know it’s because I’m hurting and sometimes it is hard to see someone feel great when you don’t even though you love them dearly. Not sure what else to say here but if you are reading this message and feel like the burden is heavy to carry just know we’re in it together and tomorrow will be a better day hopefully, let’s make it happen. I took her last name when we got married because her dad had two daughters so I wanted his name to carry on. My dad killed himself when I was 16 so I am looking forward to being a pillar of strength and hope for my wife and children. Thank you god for these blessings.

Im glad you’re better and I’m sure the things you went through was so awful, but you should know that your wife is not in the position to be your therapist, your bag, your receiving end, your saving hero. She’s nothing but your wife, someone you care about, someone you love deeply and someone who you grow old with. That’s actually a huge responsibility you place on your wife’s shoulders because that’s not something she should be dealing with as your wife or partner. Sure she can help you to feel more confident by showing you what love feels like or by giving you structure. What you describe is the role of a therapist and that’s what you need to manage your emotions and trauma. Please get professional help to get a better sense of control. Because even though I don’t know your wife, she doesn’t deserve it, I’ve seen it too many times.

[@BeverlyBurch-e4c]

Just try to understand and remember that most anger is triggered by hurt. Unless someone is a sociopath or psychopath, which it sounds like you probably aren't. That taught me alot. Learning that, most anger is hurt. It helps soften the edges on situations.

I'd look out the window when we drove by feeling pain for these children who had tattered clothes. I remember being angry with the parents of these kids. They were dirty, hardly no clothes and had terrible hair cuts. The youngest daughter only wore an old fur coat from the 1950s. Summer or winter she'd be standing outside near the road in this dirty coat. When we just drive by... we become complicit in so many ways.

[@amandamiller7926]

This is probably going to be a very long comment but it is so very very important ! I'm SO SORRY all that happened to you! I had a damn near same case as you and it breaks my heart so much that ANYONE else had to endure anything even close. I was so neglected that I was MUTE until the age of 7-8 yrs old. My teachers would get so frustrated with me to the point that they would yell at me because they thought I just wouldn't talk instead of couldn't because of fear and Terror! I had so much happened to me and had seen so much that I should not have seen before the age of eight that it affected and screwed my life up 100% as an adult. I'm 51 now and have lived through hell my whole entire life because of it. Drugs, homelessness, rape come zero self worth, no self-love, and so much more. I didn't have any addiction issues until I was late 20s so I understand and then you said it creeped in because that's what happened to me. I didn't even realize it until it's too late. I have overdosed I can't tell you how many times literally, it was on life support for a month shouldn't have lived, I have four kids I've been married once but that relationship was abusive and ended up horrifically. When I finally got up the nerve tell him I wanted a divorce, he quietly went upstairs got my babies out of bed I was in the kitchen and all of a sudden I felt that cold heart still barrel of a gun to the back of my head as he ushered me out of the house with it and my kids witnessed it and we're screaming for me and he wouldn't even let me turn around to get my kids he kept them! I immediately drove off to the police station crying so hard I couldn't speak and as I sat there and gave my report to one of the officers at the station, bunch of other officers went to my home surrounded it and he held my kids hostage and he would not come out of that house for hours. I did not know if my kids were okay I did nothing for those hours and when they finally arrested him all they found was the gun but they could not find the bullets. He had gotten rid of them before they got there so he got by with domestic violence charge instead of attempted murder! I got back on track so after I divorced him and met another man the next 20 years in a relationship with that ended up just as abusive and more. I lived through cancer with no support. My parents ended up passing when I was in my late 20s and that's when I started drinking and using drugs. I burned a lot of bridges with family and friends while in my addiction. I lost everything so many times I can't count but I would get back up on that horse and keep going. I got an abscess so bad on my spine that I had to have back surgery and I was in the hospital and nursing home for 6 months and I had to learn how to walk all over again and nobody and I mean nobody, not one person came to visit me or talk to me so I went that alone as well. Today, I am 8 years clean and sober and reestablished my relationships with my children in those years and started to repair the ones for my family, 6 siblings. I learned so much and it is no relapses and then 3 years ago I was diagnosed terminal because of this disease of addiction. So, those relationships went right back out the window I guess because they for one were in fear of me was in my life again and for two I guess it just didn't want to see it and go through it. Now I am dying and I'm doing that alone. Do not mean for this to get this long and deep into it but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone! If I would have had somebody to tell me the same thing I was going through all that alone, things we've been a lot better. I knew that I had to start giving back in some way and the only way I could and from my bed was to start and awareness blog about this horrible disease of addiction that has ran rampant in our country. If I had been more aware and more educated on that disease, I could have saved my own life! So I encourage people to check it out and if they feel so inclined to do so I encourage them to share their testimonies and their stories or just to have a safe place talk about it or just listen. I will leave the link below anybody who needs it again, I am so sorry she went through all of that and I'm praying for you! Please, if you ever feel like you're alone, DM me in my blog because You Are Not Alone anymore.

Some of it seems odd in the sense that no teacher or other adult knew what was going on. A pregnant 10 year gets beaten up by some 10 year olds boys, so bad that she bleeds out the fetus and that's the only reason they stop beating her. The damage to her other organs during such a beating would require immediate hospitization. She wouldn't have been able to walk. I don't know...
