[@Kitchen-table-flavours]

I Can relate 😢😢. That's why I don't trust anyone around my kids...and it's always the people that are close to you. My elder cousins and uncles defiled me from when I was 7 till 10 ,I innocently reported and I was whipped and told to shut up. Gladly my grandparents rescued me from those monsters. Over the years (love life) I couldn't keep any relationships. Everytime I had to be intimate I had flashbacks of those horrible moments. I had to be open to my husband from the word go, accepted me, took his time, helped me through therapy, healing and loving my inner child. He's so patient with our sex life and he's truly an angel.

[@rexona1178]

I remember taking a girl out here in London. We were together for two years but she never wanted me to touch her sexually. People were surprised that we couldn't advance our relationship. Then she told me one day how she was abused when a child. We were still friends for years until I found my current wife. Don't know how to help her but she is still my friend and a very responsible and brilliant lady. I am so happy you have a reasonable husband.

[@martharinebiseko1457]

Hugs. Bravo to Yr hubby

[@itsjuliam]

Hugs to you sis. So sorry for what you've been through & for the additional trauma of being beaten for telling the truth. I've been there & I'm grateful to have a husband who understood me and took me for therapy.

[@charity4908]

Oh no. Bless that got out of that well. Please, don't stop keeping close eyes on your children. I understand you clearly. God bless, mother to your children.💐

[@JENNIFERWAMBUI.]

When you hear a woman confess that her man loves her,,he really does.

[@itsjuliam]

Listening to Edel talking about what relatives did to her and it resonates deeply. I finally spoke up & told my mother when I was 22. She blamed me for letting them do what they did, yet I had been told that if I spoke up my parents would die and it would be my fault. This is why I never have people sleeping over at my home. For the sake of my children. I have made it clear to relatives & friends that I don't host overnight guests. Neither do I let my children sleep over at other people's houses. Especially relatives' homes. I can't & I won't. Not even for one night. I will not put my children in a position where they can't resist because of fear.

[@colletahauko665]

Even female friends?

[@angelinemuriuki7384]

Pole sana. Though I didn't go through this, I share your sentiments, if I get a family I won't allow sleep overs. At all!

[@liznyaga3918]

I share your sentiments. It never happened to me but I don't take chances. The world has become another place and statistics show that 90% of children who are defiled/raped, it's done so by people known to them. And sometimes its not just defilement, your children can be introduced to pornography. So let's protect our children. My motto "shuku kila mtu".

[@amandasjoy2840]

​@@liznyaga3918 true me too I can never trust anyone with my kids...only God

[@itsjuliam]

@Colletah Auko yes, even those. Pedophilia doesnt discriminate. I think a female predator is harder to discover than a male one.

[@prisciliatebid2898]

One thing I have realized is that people with very great destinies meant to bless people go through the worst abuse and terrible experiences. But God always have a way of pulling them through and fulfilling His purpose for humanity through them. Their end is always glorious. Weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning . Kudos my sister and all those loved ones supporting. Thanks a trillion times Lynn and team.

[@emilymuhinyu6165]

She reminds me somehow of my childhood, I felt and still fight feeling unwanted and not worthy enough, and because my mum was very strict, I couldn't be close to her and open up about my feelings, so I ended up being rebellious as a defence mechanism but inside me I was the biggest coward. I had to do that to shield me from bullies at school and home, and it really worked for me. I am now all grown, very conservative and try so much not to be out there for reasons well known to me, when I see successful stories of people out there, all I do is say a silent prayer to God for Him to remember me aswell. I am honestly not very well mentally, I feel tired because all my life, I have lived to fight one thing after another.

[@twinamatsikodinnah6942]

This is the only bold woman Kenyan who i’ll give much respect. She doesn’t buy to this nonsense of religion bigup to you young lady.

[@helenwaithera]

The voice of a woman who has thoroughly done the work needed. Shutting off the noise and confronting the demons requires an amount of intention that most people won't get to. Just because you were in my past, doesn't mean we have to move into the future together. Wish me well, I wish you well. Whoa! Truth! How refreshing to be so raw and so honest. I'm so proud of you Edel. You radiate joy and peace and you're so centered. I could listen to you all day. I'll look out for that book when it comes out.

[@cyliakr5864]

I was Edel in Primary and highschool, its interesting i am watching this when i am also unpacking and resetting. My take home is always to be kind, you never know what people are going through. Thanks Edel, im so proud of you, you have no idea what this episode has done to me at this moment. Thank you....Thank You

[@Joz_art]

I feel like I've been hiding all my life after watching and listening to her. Sometimes I feel like I've failed the people I love the most, especially my parents. I used to be at the top of my class, but life is teaching me something different. Many people who knew me back then think that I became a doctor, a societal expectation that at one point drained me emotionally. At the university, I changed courses several times and ended up pursuing a degree course that never helped bring a coin into my pockets. Today, I eat and sleep math and art. Life is a journey with many paths. We choose some and find ourselves on other unexpected paths, good or bad. But we have to keep pushing.

[@abdallahtirimy7839]

Been typing and deleting but I believe Edel needs to know that her story is so many people’s stories. She just got the voice to share and we are so proud of her. I can tell a spiritually awakened sister a mile away. It’s not easy being an outlier but guess what? Life needs a couple of those for balance. You chose a path only the strong could so that you would help the less courageous. We have learnt lots from you and hope you keep sharing your stories to help those stuck in their own paths.

Dear parents be very careful with those relatives and even the workers. I know too well about sexual abuse from relatives and also our shamba boy exposed my siblings to pornography. These stories are now very common. Never trust anyone with your kids, its so sad that even some fathers molest their daughters and get them pregnant. The damage and trauma on children is almost irreversible 😢 it requires the mighty hand of Yahweh.

[@lizvingori9795]

Good story telling skills,she has a good command in the queens language. She has come a long way. Admirable intelligent quotient. She understands her patterned consciousness over changing circumstances and mental transportation. She recalls her life's ordeals like it was yesterday. I like the positivity she radiates. Her energy should be very contagious when around her.

Listening to this story has just made me remember how I was treated from my primary level I was always tortured emotionally my own parents used to look down on me however I did so well in primary and passed joined secondary and it became worse everyone used to call me names until I eventually lost interest in books and said I think this is what the world wants out of me so let me give them and I regret everything now if only I had supportive parents all would be well that's why I vowed to be part of my children's life until God takes me back home

@@Kobi_house_of_unique shadow work is Working with your unconscious mind to uncover the parts of yourself that you repress and hide from yourself. Mostly stemming from childhood trauma. Or parts of you that you’re ashamed of. It starts by recognizing them. You can do it on your own but it’s a very brutal and painful journey. I personally had a therapist and a spiritual teacher to help me through. It’s also about letting go and forgiving the person who requires it the most. You.
