[@laurenevers8644]

Guys, there are still people down in the comments saying that you can't heal or move on unless you forgive, but that's such a toxic belief that there's a growing number of people like myself that are trying to make it known that you do not HAVE TO forgive anyone. That it's perfectly okay to say "I don't forgive you", but still forget and move on. No one is owed your forgiveness, and no one gets to decide whether you give it or not besides you, and if they try to tell you otherwise, tell them in no uncertain terms that they need to take several steps back into their own lane. I had a shitty childhood full of adults that would continue to hurt me well into my adulthood, and it got to the point where I had to ask myself what these "family members" even did for this relationship. And because they were unwilling to change they weren't deserving of my forgiveness, or a place in my life. I can't forgive them, I took the time I needed to mourn the loss of a close relationship with them that I always wanted but never had. They don't deserve my forgiveness, and this next chapter of my life I've moved on to has been so much better with me going no contact with them and moving on better than ever.

[@tinabean530]

Sigh..... this story really hits home for me.. All I've ever had since I was 5 and after my dad died was my 5 siblings. My mom did the same thing except for physically abusing us. She left that to her boyfriend. So many times we almost died... My mom wouldn't buy food or things for us. I had to eat butter bc I was hungry. I was only 6 or 7 years old. We often starved and my mom's boyfriend would abuse all of us including my mom. Eventually we all slept in one room together excluding my mom. Although at times we would have to hide her from her boyfriend. God... watching this makes me think that me and my siblings would be living like that right now had the police not come check in on us.. One of my aunts called finally. The police saw that no adult was present, food was not present, and the house was filthy and smelled. My family relatives and neighbors all knew what was happening but did nothing until I guess they felt it was time. I see my family in this video.... It's heart breaking.... I hate seeing this happen to other children. I'm 21 years old now and I'm trying to battle my PTSD and lead a normal life.

Although being forced to stay in the house for the majority of my life felt somewhat normal those 3 months were really tough because i didn’t interact with anyone and was under death threats and a possible arranged marriage just so they can get rid of me. Watching the turpin case triggered a lot of memories that made me realise i have Complex ptsd. What makes me angry and relieved at the same time is the parents getting 25 to life shows the magnitude of the horrendous crime the they committed which validates to me that what my parents did was never normal or just being strict, however it makes me angry that my parents will never be held accountable because the justice system and laws here don’t side with the children and don’t see that as a crime because its normalized culturally because of Islam. Oh and the hannah montana thing and realizing how normal teens live from listening/watching to teen pop stars literally happend to me and that was the first time i started voicing my concerns to my parents but they yelled at and gaslit me.
