Her voice might be soft and demure, but this girl is a straight up warrior. Amazing resilience and strength to endure what she has. She’s beautiful inside and out and I hope she’s treating herself so kindly in this second part of her life. She is so worthy 🦋

Her voice is like that because she was told she didn’t matter by everyone in her life.

People who weren’t abused don’t understand how it permeates your life, your relationships, your choice in partners and mistrust affecting how many friends you make. It makes your world really small. I wish you all the best. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@Tenacious1952]

It’s difficult to imagine how one can grow up in a constant state of fear and deprivation for 18 years. Fear of rage, physical and mental abuse, starvation, freezing - with no one and no place to go for comfort and safety. Abuse leaves one with a hidden disability. The victim has a very difficult time with relationships as one is unable to trust. The world and others are seen thru the lens of distrust and automatic defensive thoughts kick in. I too was a victim of abuse but not nearly as extreme as Senne experienced. My heart goes out to her. She’s clearly getting the help she needs and has a keen understanding of what happened to her. She’s a beautiful young woman (inside and out.) I wish her the very best.

Looking back at high school in the 80’s, I ache now for the kids who we considered “weird” or different somehow. Now I know that some of them had miserable, abusive home lives. We never could have imagined what they were going through then. I wish healing and peace for Senne. 🙏

I remember a kid in my grade showed me the cigarette burns on her arms and a scar where she was burned by an iron.

I still wonder became of her.

[@codirennke1109]

Same for the 90s too. I remember in like 3rd grade, this set of twins moved to our school and they were extremely aggressive towards ALL the other kids. Like a level that I couldnt comprehend at that age. I was terrified of them. I think back now in my thirties and wonder what kind of home they must have experienced up until that point to be so aggressive as such young kids. Breaks my heart.

[@guzelfetkulina9599]

U read my mind. Thats exactly how i think remembering those kids from my class and i just hate it that i was not mature enough to try to get close to them and figure out whats wrong with them. Too late, now. ((

[@CassieBee88]

I had a best friend in 6th grade. She got bullied mercilessly for being “weird” and for always coming to school smelling like smoke. Because I was the only friend she had, I would go over to her house. Her father was actively dying from lung cancer. He had a coffee tin by his bed full of spit and blood. The coughing is something that stuck with me to this day. My 12 year old friend was about to lose her father, and she got no solace at school either. I think of her very often.

[@Chungalhunga]

I can clearly remember warmth, love, woman other than my mother cooking and other kids laying. We were one and a half years old, certainly not more than two. Next, quite complex memory is from home and the way to hospital when brother was born. Both are very positive, quite a bit darker times came later..

[@Cbow3977]

I know people are saying just spit it out but for some people they're reliving the trauma all over in there head and they struggle to articulate.

[@TheNurseWhoLovedMe89]

Exactly, and when you try to talk about it the stress responses are activated (fight/flight/freeze) and as they become activated the language center of the brain starts shutting down. When this happens for me I end up talking in really strange patterns with big gaps between words, I’ll keep repeating the same word over and over because I can’t work out what word I’m trying to find that’s supposed to come next in the sentence, and I start to stutter as well (when I don’t stutter at all normally). All I can say is, I feel for her because I know I get so frustrated and I WISH I could just spit the words out, but it’s not possible…

[@shannonwireman8584]

Exactly! Plus when Mark does interviews with people who struggle to speak like her, I just turn the playback speed up faster. I heard her interview in a way that it was faster than most. Not because I didn’t like her way of speaking. But because it’s hard to find the time to watch an almost hour & a half long video.

Spot on and I'm glad you clarified that for those that don't understand trauma and how it appears. 🙏

[@jrahn66]

Yes…she speaks in a child like voice because as you said, she is emotionally stunted. She is verbally stunted too because of the emotional damage done to her. She speaks at about the age when the majority of the damage was done to her. That’s my humble opinion. It’s almost like an alter.

[@tabathapuckett2422]

When your only evidence in your own memory it really doesn't mean much. People tend to think they have accurate memories because they can picture it in their mind and they assume it's like a recording the brain saved to be looked at anytime. But that's not how it works at all. It's proven beyond doubt that memories are manipulated through our entire life by our own brain. Not only that but outside forces can actually change how one remembers things. In reality our memories are not recordings but what your current mind has put together with a lifetime of fragmented memories and experiences.

My story is very similar to your story. I wasade a 5150 when I was 30 yrs old from a suicide attempt. I wrote a poem when I was 16 called Only when I cry. It goes- I look at life without feelings, time just passing by. Life is like an untold story with my feelings stuffed inside. I cant express my feelings, I don't know why I even try. The only time someone listens to me is only when I cry. Is life really worth living, most days I want to die. The only time I have reason to live is only when I cry. I was hospitalized 4 times. In my 40s I dated a narcissist and my life got so much worse. To include being choked unconscious, body slammed on the floor etc. The police had to kick my door in to arrest him. Guns drawn and police dogs. But in that time I finally learned how to love myself. Now I'm 52 and finally have peace in my life and 2 small dogs that I love dearly.

[@MilkMonies1]

Her experience living with her mother is exactly what I went through as a kid. Outside my siblings, I’ve never heard someone tell this similar of a trauma story. She only skims the surface of what was going on, which tells me she’s still really struggling, but the pain in her voice, describing being forced to cope with other people’s dysfunctions, and discovering later on the true gravity of those experiences. It’s so relatable. I don’t think people understand how truly horrible and maddening it actually is. It’s relentless, you can’t escape, and it becomes the only thing you know, you’re no longer like other people. Even her health problems are related to the stress/neglect (I have similar issues that’ve improved with therapy and retraining my nervous system). In the end you’re left alienated and dysfunctional yourself, especially because we’re talking about the 90’s and early 2000’s, when no one understood or cared about this kind of thing. Unlike her though, I became violent in my teens and fought back, so I feel for her not finding her voice earlier, but in a way it’s better, because fighting back involves things you don’t want to have to face later. It’s a hopeless situation to be in at the time regardless, but there’s lines you don’t come back from, I’m glad she was spared that. She has a long road ahead on her recovery journey and I wish her the best.

I also remember when she disappeared, I remember the fear and the pain I felt then and for years. I remember her showing me a map while sitting on her lap and her showing me where I was and where she was going (other side of the country) and I remember crying, and her telling me it wouldn’t be for a long long time and not to worry… she was gone the next morning.
