You are such a brave young lady for sharing your horrific story with us all Rosie, and here you are concerned for the welfare of others in a similar predicament.

Please keep working towards recovery and building the life that you so richly deserve ❤

Hi Rosie. You are heard and seen Mama. I’m sorry you went through this abuse and for so long. You deserved to have been protected from that monster. Thank you for speaking up now. I know you wish it would have been sooner, but I hope you realize that even now, your voice is just as powerful and it’s making a big impact. Your voice not only represents your sister, but also so many kids who have dealt with their own monster. Congrats on the apartment! Sending you a big hug! ❤️ ~Daci

Rosie, I never comment on Mark's videos, but you need to hear this: You are in the middle of breaking the cycle of generations of abuse. It is hard work; it is GOOD work. You are a survivor right now, but you will thrive. Hold tight to those people who support this work, and steer wide of people who try to drag you into their own cycles of abuse (drugs, trafficking, other self-harming escapism tactics). You are worth the work. Your family is stuck in the cycle. You may forgive them in time, but your forgiveness will be for YOU, for YOUR peace, on YOUR timeline. I care so much about you, and I believe in you.

This cycle is painful and terrifying to face, but getting out of it is so worth it. I refuse to live the same pain of my ancestors to spite my own self. I refuse to abuse those who show me empathy because I am envious of their ability to see good. This world was made with a spot for all of us, and I will achieve all I want and need from this life and give all that falls freely from me, to others. There is no one size fits all, there is no specific timeframe; your peace is worth the work and patience of confronting your inherited pain. ♥️

Blows my mind how women continually get blamed for the bad behavior of men. Many women are financially dependent or culturally/religiously taught to stay with the man no matter what. If she’s an Immigrant she may have limited resources and the daughter said in the video that she was getting abused herself. How about you place the blame where it should be; on the father. The ultimate betrayal is a parent choosing to sexually abuse their child. It is tragic that it was enabled by the mother however the abuser is responsible for his actions.

I blamed my mother for years but as I got older I realized when you are poor or combined with poor and uneducated you feel like you have no options to even survive if you don’t have the man in the home. It basically turns being poor into a crime all in it’s own class. The mom probably stays stressed thinking , no not thinking, but knowing you gotta watch every move made by this man to protect her girls must be exhausting on top of everything else. I’m rambling and probably not making much sense but I know there can be many sides.

​@@john-ic5pz, In your mom's case, saying those words was virtue-signaling. Those of us who have survived the harm sexual abuse caused don't say it lightly. Online it's impossible to tell. The good news is that those of us who survive long-term profound depression and self-doubt become vigilant about the safety of our children, grandchildren -- all children. The statistics reveal there are many victims of childhood abuse who commit suicide. So, it's good that you've survived. I've learned over the decades how weak my mother was when we needed her protection. If she had not retreated into her room leaving us unsupervised with our inebriated father and friends, or if she believed us when we told her what happened...but that was typical of her: the only person she cared about was herself.

My father was abusive, physically and mentally. My mother also could not leave for over 30 years. She is Asian and grew up being taught that your husband is God for you. You cannot ever leave. This codependency was so deeply ingrained in her, she couldn't act. She was terrified of being alone. I blamed her for a long, long time, and even now I bring it up during fights. Deep down, though, I know that it was not her fault. This is a systematic, deep, deep opression of women, carefully cultivated for centuries, in many strongly patriarchal countries. It destroyed the lives of both my sister and I. My father just passed away last week, not having improved himself at all, never admitting anything. I feel sorry for him.

People from south central America and Mexico are historically native Americans & now some Mestizos whom where just forced to learn Hispanic ways just like people in North America who where forced to learn English ways and it ends there. Being culturally UNROOTED due to brainwashed acculturation is why so many Americans especially North Americans don’t know their own identity Nor even care.TRUE Latin people need representation in North America as we are misrepresented all day long in this country and it’s not ok. Culturally rooted proud People native to south Central America and Mexico who embrace their true identity feel the same way with FALSE brands like Hispanic and Latino as that is Not their origin it is the origin of their conquerors. South Central Americans and Mexicans are indigenous Americans, mestizo Americans, Castizo Americans, zambos, pardos, sub Saharans etc. Not Latins, Not Latin Blood therefore Not LATIN_O. LATINOS are SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LATINS born anywhere in the world who’s roots come from the LATIN Roman Empire of the Mediterranean Race. Again HENCE HOW LATINA ITALY GOT THE HISTORICAL LATIN NAME LATINA! If those like you want to claim the Hispanic identity and origins of Spain then what ever. HOWEVER us culturally aware true Latin Mediterranean people are tired of this brainwashed American obsession with misappropriation and cultural rape of foreign Latin terms from Italy. Supporting American Brainwashed cultural theft for “gain” and “benefit” does Not magically change this. CULTURALLY REMOVED North Americans need to learn and respect their true culture that way they can stop stealing from mine. & TRUE LATINO MEN & WOMEN AKA SOUTHERN EUROPEANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MULTI GENETICALLY MIXED ETHNIC PEOPLE DUE TO OUR MIDDLE EASTERN, NORTH AFRICAN & ETHNIC BALKAN DNA. THIS CULTURAL RAPE TOWARDS THE TRUE LATIN PEOPLE OF ITALY EXIST BECAUSE THOSE LIKE YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE & WILL CONTINUE TO “BENEFIT” FROM THE CULTURAL THEFT TOWARDS US TRUE LATINO MEDITERRANEANS WHO DESCEND FROM ITALY! THE TERM LATINO DERIVES FROM THE VERY FIRST LATIN TRIBE CALLED THE LATINI. LATINI IS PLURAL FOR LATINO AS LATINO IS SINGULAR FOR LATINI. THEY WERE CALLED LATINI BECAUSE IT WAS A TRIBE OF MANY PEOPLE HENCE THE PLURAL TERM FOR LATINO BEING LATINI. LATINO REFERS TO A SINGULAR FORM OF BEING LATINI AND ALL THE LATINI INFLUENCES. THE SAME WITH LATINA BEING SINGULAR AND LATINE BEING PLURAL IN THE LATIN/ITALIAN LANGUAGE. THESE ARE ALL TERMS CREATED SOLELY BY THE TRUE LATINO MEDITERRANEAN ANCESTORS OF ITALY. YOU CAN NOT BE PART OF AN ORIGIN, HISTORY AND ETHNICITY WHICH YOUR ANCESTORS FACTUALLY ARE NOT HISTORICALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR. END OF STORY. IT HAS BECOME TRENDING PROPAGANDA FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT OF PROMINENT LATIN MEDITERRANEAN ORIGIN TO MISAPPROPRIATE LATIN EUROPEAN TERMS OF ITALY AS TRENDING PROPAGANDA TO APPEAR MORE DESIRABLE FOR SOCIAL STATUS FOR SOCIAL ADVANTAGE. AND IT NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED AND PUT TO AN END. PERIOD. there is No sono Latino/ soy Latino when you are Not of actual Mediterranean Latin diaspora, specifically of prominent Mediterranean Italian diaspora. There is No “our Latino culture” when you do Not descend from the SOLE people who are historically responsible for the Cultura Latina the Latin culture. And it is delusional to believe so.

[@diywitherica4385]

Dear Rosie- When Mark asked about your regret, you said you wished you said something sooner. I hear you. What you feel is real and valid. Having said that, I’d like to gently shed a little light on your regret. Please try to see that you DID speak up over and over and over, from such a young age. You spoke up in the limited ways a child is able to speak up. You spent years searching, waiting for someone to hear your cries- especially your mom who should’ve been a reliable protector. As a trauma survivor who has wrestled with very similar regrets, I have a gentle challenge for you: Is it possible that you could reassign that regret to your parents? THEY BOTH are the rightful owners of that extremely heavy burden you carry. You did the absolute best with what your growing mind/brain could possibly handle throughout the years. You are resilient with a strength beyond your years. As you seek to leave your trauma in the past, you will develop your own tribe; a true family who supports you in healing with love and grace. Please keep up with therapy- the work is worth it. Each day, and especially on the dark days, I humbly request that you give yourself the gift of self-care. You are worthy and you are loved. My hope in writing this is that you could somehow feel the strength of a fellow woman-warrior who can tell you, without a doubt, that there is light and love to be experienced as you emerge from your past life that was full of trauma. Your voice is not only worthy to be heard and acknowledged, but your story will bring hope to countless others for many, many years to come. May your soul be filled with peace, may everyday bring a new reason to smile, and may you see yourself as the mighty warrior you are. ❤️‍🩹 There are countless brighter days ahead for you, dear one. Hugs. -e

I hope she hears these words. They resonate with me. The guilt I held has been similar to you and Rosie. Mine Guilt was for getting under the cover, but it’s not mine to hold, being a child and speaking up over and over in many ways. You are right Erica, she did speak up sooner! Amazing note. I’ll say lastly, I believe in us Rosie. :)

[@thepunisher2988]

Perhaps what she really means is that she wished she had DONE something about it sooner. Either way, you are right about reassigning the regret to her parents, and the only genuine way to do this is by taking actions against her parents. The only way to properly reassign the regret to her parents is by making them regret what they did. She needs to seek retribution not only for her own peace of mind, but also to warn any abusive parents out there that their victims won't stay as victims forever...

[@EgbertWilliams]

She was right about her mother too. She was indeed a bad mother. You don't sacrifice your children for a bit of comfort. Her older sister and brother are nearly as bad. Ignoring their two sisters' repeated molestation in order to pretend there is a healthy, intact family to return to is grotesque. Rosie, you were forced to be the brave one in your own life, even as a child, and that is heartbreaking. Shed those tears; you've earned them. But don't forget that being treated so horribly has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the monster and his enablers. You preserved the kind, decent heart they treated so poorly. You can have a life full of good people like yourself, people who will treat you with the tenderness you always deserved. Be open to it. It really is waiting for you.

[@seeyouinthegarden]

This comment is from Heaven. She really was preserved in innocence by God's Sovereign grace. And she needs to KNOW, Rosie, you will know... You will be who God called you to be. He brought you through this so that you could be built, and not broken, and help others who, by the free will abuse of others, have been hurt by others. You were placed here by Yeshua to encourage others to take a stand against wickedness. I am not just saying little cliches, I'm saying this with all my being!

[@seeyouinthegarden]

Moses who was saved as a baby, out of hundreds of thousands of Hebrew babies, killed a man and was exiled from Egypt and stranded in the desert... All to be sent back to Egypt to help millions of Israelites out of their bondage... Joseph was thrown into a cistern by his OWN BLOOD. His brothers all wanted him gone so they devised to kill him... but he was scared by the kindest of them. But even the kindest of his brothers wanted him gone, so they sold him instead. These people... We overlook them because they are in the Bible and seem more important but they're not... These were humans just like us, and they were treated in extremely inhumane ways. And then we have Jesus. Who has experienced every child's abuse in His very own body. Because we are all living, breathing only by God's power, so it is God Himself who feels these experiences. He feels every atom of pain, to the very same degree of hurt. He loves you... And He has a plan for you. Do not let those demons who have hurt your body tell you who you will be. Ever. Remain in Him, and He will CONTINUE what He started, you WILL be a pure, loving mother. Forever. All of eternity. And as long as you hold His precious, nail-pierced hands, your hands will protect. Your hands will bring life. It is you, Rosie, rare and precious soul, the world is not worthy of. But you cannot let them or any ounce of hatred tell you who you are. Even though every thing in you might scream with pain to lash out. Sometimes I feel like I'm internally bleeding. One of my dogs, that unfortunately I abused by violence because of my poor upbringing when I was little, later in her life suddenly got sick with internal bleeding. She couldn't be touched, or she would bleed internally in the area in which she was touched. I was the only one in her room at the vet when she died. Everyone else was outside crying, they couldn't take the heartbreak. By the time she was sick, I was older and more forgiving and God had changed me at that point. Part of her knew I was better, not evil anymore, but she was still unsure of me... Because some wickedness remained... But overall, I was very sad at how I treated her. And I looked her and I knew she was forgiving me... She was one of the strongest, most gracious and protective dogs ever. When I was abusive, and I would hurt my little baby Chihuahua, and I say through shame and tears, she would defend her. Her name was Winter. You are like Winter, in my eyes, Rosie. You are everything I said about her character. That is you! So, again, you won't be named by your past. Keep looking to the people that inspire you. Mimic them. I've also been abused in some ways. Nothing like you, but still... I have been. We have to honor our pains. And sometimes I feel like Winter when she died. The pain of my experiences, makes everything I go through feel like it is touching me, and I internally bleed. But I also have to tell myself that I'm like Winter. I'm like Jesus. Because I have accepted Him. And I have to let forgiveness win. And we have to remember that, though it seems so evil sometimes, there is always a light, and we have to just fully agree with the fact that everything we go through is especially and divinely placed in our lives to make us into the image of what we lost and what was taken from us, the image of our dear God.

[@alleyway2565]

Rosie- if you read this, my mother had a Very very similar situation as you. Please keep fighting for yourself - you’re so young and have a whole life to live still. And As someone who is on meds for depression/anxiety medication can really really help with motivation- it’s a WORLD of difference. You can create the life you deserve just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

[@missmachete1]

It's tough admitting you are glad any family member is terminally ill but i've been there. It feels like a chokehold has been released. I'm sorry for what you went through and thanks for speaking up for the younger generations of your family and breaking the cycle of silence 🙌🏼

[@msdemeanour]

I've been there too. I cursed god when my abusive father did not die of his heart attack. I was 10.

[@stars-are-us]

Rosie... my heart goes out to you. My mom forced me out of her house when I was 13. A homeless girl in the city. God rescued me... I went to medical school. There is hope for your life. Ditch the drugs...get your education... pray. I am praying for you. Rosie, you are so intelligent, articulate, and beautiful. Oh, I excelled after I left my toxic family. I went from homeless abused girl, got myGED, went to college, and now stand on my two feet. Work through the depression. Your child Will come back to you from heaven one day.

Do NOT ditch any drugs until you are emotionally stable...self-medicating is part of your healing process.

[@jakevendrotti1496]

​@@5DNRGabsolutely incorrect. Self-medicating with recreational drugs is the surest path to failure. Therapy, school, a job, and building credit. That's what she needs to do. And keeps surrounding herself with stable safe sane people. No contact with abusers and betrayers. Please do not go around on the internet telling people that self-medication is healing. The healing process does not include unmonitored drug use

[@kellyhilton1412]

Someone please give this girl a career opportunity she deserves you are one brave beautiful young lady love u Rosie ❤

[@leeshybaby9541]

She's only young she will be able to figure it out on her own, she seems like a very capable lady.

[@hollyegee2199]

Suggestion for you….rent a room, go to a trade school for something like Medical Assisting. If you like it, climb the ladder to nursing. I think you’d do great with your compassion, grit and determination. A lot of schools may only be 6months and help with job placement. Good luck! You’re a champion!

You are a warrior, my dear. It's a long, hard road, but you are so very capable of making the journey. Thank you for sharing. Sending you a mama bear hug. ❤

[@sil-educator]

I loved your last sentence - “ I am happy, I’m free.” Rosie, I’m so sorry for what your parents put you through. Hearing you speak was so inspirational as I see a strong young woman in you. Your attitude to continue in therapy and thoughts of career choices is wonderful. You are an amazing person so please continue advocating for yourself. Be well💕

[@nessaarandur7740]

What a strong woman Rosie is. She made some good decisions and it sounds like she is very aware that she needs stability and healing and is taking active steps to help herself. It's great that she found the program she's in, too. I hope she finds a job soon.

[@nialarkins889]

I’m crying half way through. Rosie you’re so strong sis

[@YoPoe]

Same 😢😭😭😭

[@thestrangestantelope8076]

Oh, Rosie. My heart and prayers go out to you. I cried along with you in this, you are so strong for sharing such a deep wound. As a survivor of my own father, I can tell you that things do get better. I hope you can find the strength to keep going, keep loving yourself. Thank you for showing me that we are never truly alone!

[@SAchica]

As an American of Mexican descent, I can tell you in our culture sexual abuse within the family is common, and it is kept silent. Because of this, the cycles continue. I’m a survivor and didn’t even realize I had a severe traumatic childhood until my therapist told me. Thank you for bringing awareness to the forefront.

[@antasaurus97977]

I was about to say this is such a mexican cultural thing. (i too am mexican america) It’s sickening

[@promisejrhodes]

Why, though? My boyfriend is Mexican and his oldest brother is a pedo and almost all the family protects him. What is this? Why is this a cultural thing? The fvck??

[@queentonantzin7993]

Absolutely true. Bad hombres.

[@terywetherlow7970]

SAchica: I had heard this from a friend who was from same group. Did not want to mention it so, Thank you. The more we understand,the better. Tee

[@mystilooch8274]

I also come from a Mexican family and it happened across several generations. My cousin was abused my multiple family members. My Grandfather molested neighbor children ( he died before I was born) My uncle tried to do it to me and there are others. I never thought of it as a cultural thing

[@doyoufeelbonita]

I’ve lived your life Rosie, my mother would even ask me if my father touched me starting when I was less than 10. I am only 26 but around 21 is when I cut the chord from my father completely. I’ve prayed to remember so I just knew what the truth was and didn’t feel manipulated. Your life is just beginning, and the most beautiful part is we are so young with this awareness. Life is full of mistakes but people like us are able to look at them honestly and confront them, so we may grow to be better people. Trust yourself Rosie, so far when everyone tried to hide your story, you’ve done everything in your power to hold onto and stand for the truth. All of this work you put into yourself will benefit you. You have proven time and time again that a life far from the pain of your upbringing is more than possible, you deserve happiness and freedom, and you will have it!

[@RealElongatedMuskrat]

sending you so much love, friend ❤ I'm 25 and my abuser was my grandfather, but otherwise the same story. I have so little context for so much of my childhood. I also still can't sleep without layers of clothing on because I never feel safe to sleep in less, I'm afraid of being walked in on. I wake up kicking out to defend myself often. I was 22 or 23 when my family finally cut my grandfather off after years of me trying to voice my pain, only because my uncle revealed that he too was abused by him. But the damage has been done. Rosie mentioning the kissing on the neck, the groping in front of other people and not being allowed to wear certain clothing at home made the hairs on my arms and neck stand up. I remember all of that so vividly. Recovery is a lifelong journey I guess, but we'll get there ❤

[@laniegoodwin4549]

This poor, sweet, beautiful girl was betrayed by both her parents. I applaud her for taking the initiative to free herself from her horrible situation. I pray she finds peace and happiness. ♥️

[@jasestrickland1704]

Sweet and fragile heart, you are loved by strangers more than you know. Thank you for your courage in telling your story. May God bless you and keep you in his hands for a peaceful and happy life from here on forward. Thank you, Mark.

[@xojiera7927]

i hope she gets the healing she deserves. she genuinely didn’t deserve the abuse she obtained so young. shes a beautiful young lady & i hope that she can get closure. she was not wrong for speaking up about her abuse & if anything, she was doing her siblings a favor. dont know her but im proud of her for even speaking of her pain. like i said, i pray she gets healing.

[@kelseyg3554]

Rosie this is one of the most beautiful and brave interviews I have ever seen. I am crying as a survivor of trauma, not the same kind but the same gravity. This felt like the best therapy session I have ever seen and helped me reflect on times in therapy where I broke down speaking about my worst pain. To deal with this level of dysfunction and then cover up by your mom... no child should ever know this. And to hear your sister tell you you shouldn't say what you said, when you were right, broke my heart. I know the pain caused by your parents was immense but you are so strong and full of light. Watching you speak was a gift and I hope you continue to speak your truth.

[@denisesteins1606]

Love you Rosie , great interview 😮! Wish the best for you 🙏

[@J54.]

He is a sadistic, evil "man". Her mom is just as bad. My heart breaks for you. You are brave. I wish you healing and strength.

[@readingsbycara]

You, Rosie, will be a GREAT mom. 💖 love and prayers ...
