      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. ♥️

    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.

Your mother has to take responsibility for the abuse she caused you! You can love your mother, but you don't have to like her or the things she does!!

      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. I would like to think any mom would go to the ends of the earth to protect their babies I just know that in reality it’s harder than some may think to do the 100% right thing sometimes for the most messed up reasons.

    Just like Gabrielle, Rosie mentioned how the eyes of the abuser changed. I met a sexual abuse survivor once... she opened up, told me her story and she said "you know the sound eyes make when they open?". I just stared at her. Of course I didn't. How can you hear eyes open? She said "I learned to recognise that sound", when her abuser would wake up in the middle of the night...
    If hearing that her mother did not protect her makes me angry, I cannot even begin to imagine what Rosie must have felt. The anger she is feeling... is gut wrenching.
    I am so glad she is still here, and even though I have not met her (or will ever do, probably), I am so proud of her for pulling through and becoming a beautiful person. Thank you, Rosie for sharing your story and all the best wishes for your future.

It’s easy to say what you would do but it’s not easy. When you call police the police side with the man. In the 90 s they’d say go to a hotel for the night.

    Diane Langberg has a video on complex ptsd. She explains so clearly what our minds do during abuse and why we can't remember things that happened to us. She also talks about the lack of motivation because we're so consumed with dealing with the trauma internally. I always described myself as lazy and unmotivated but now I understand that I'm not lazy, I'm just detached from life because of all the trauma. I related to your story so much and Diane Lanberg's video on complex ptsd helped me so much so, I thought it might help you too. Good luck, I hope the best for you!

    Hi Rosie, your story is reminiscent of my own. I suffered as my Dad” WAS my perpetrator. My siblings and I suffered for years of abuse. I thought I was the only one in the family getting abused but at the age of 14 found out about my young sister. I put his ass in jail!! A lot a pain followed but I was the change! I stopped the cycle of abuse. It’s scary but it’s also brave. He went to jail for many years then he was deported! I never had to hear from him again. I saved my family. That is what you are doing. You are saving you and your sister. Don’t be hard on yourself. Your so tired because of you’re hyper vigilant and now you feel safe and need to rest! You’re strong sister, I see lots of growth coming your way.

      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.
      I'm in my 70s and am finding it impossible to forgive her.
      She's 97 and still obsessed with herself.
      Nothing is ever her fault, and she's terrified of dying.

      “Latino” means Latin and of Latin origin. Hence the term LATIN_o. Indigenous Americans and mestizo Americans etc. of south Central America and Mexico are Not ethnically Latino and never have been. HISPANIC LITERALLY MEANS SPAIN. AND THE CULTURA LATINA-THE LATIN CULTURE, THE LATIN PEOPLE, THE LATINO TRIBES (Latini), THE LATIN ETHNICITY AND THE LATIN LANGUAGE ALL COME FROM ITALY! LATINO IS THE SOLE IDENTITY OF SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LATIN MEDITERRANEAN DIASPORA WHOS ETHNICITY AND CULTURE COMES FROM THE TRUE AND REAL LATINO ANCESTORS OF ITALY. And Hispanic is literally the Latin language for Spain not the native Americans they colonized such as those Of south, Central American and Mexican origins weather you or others like you acknowledged it or not. Both Hispanic & Latin/Latino culture come from Europe that is Latin Europe. & Latin Europe was Latinized by Italy hence how Latina Italy got the historical Latin name LATINA! LATINO= SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LATIN MEDITERRANEAN DIASPORA OF THE LATINO ANCESTORS OF ITALY. Hispanic is the name the TRUE Latino people of Rome/Italy gave the Spaniards. 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.

    I was abused from boys in my neighborhood when I was younger. I’d black out too from every encounter but since I’ve became a Christian, I’ve had nightmares, sleep paralysis and had to go through forgiveness for myself because none of it was my fault. It was tough, but in my walk through faith, I built a support system and shared my hurts, found healing. I’m in counseling now since anxieties came back from having my baby girl, but it’s eased my mind. My girl won’t have to be put in situations I was put in, she will be aware of herself, of people, and if anyone is to watch her- we will know everyone she is to be around. 🙏🏽 thank you Rosie.

      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.

Absolutely sickening im 46 now and haven't spoken to any of ny biological family since I was 14. My grandma aunt and all the family shunned me for speaking up and reporting my last step father best thing ive ever done. It was hard supporting myself at such a young age.

Even when he was bed ridden he tried to grab my hand and force me to to let him touch me. The worst horror of my life. I cried of relief the day he died. 35 years old now and thank god for a few years of therapy to get me passed my immense amount of anger I felt towards my mom, my grandma and that family. I told my mom when I was 7 years old she denied he would touch us. We drove to my grandparents house every weekend from Los Angeles to Rancho Cucamonga. It didn’t stop for another 4-5 years.

She went from a happy child to closing up doing drugs and was very depressed. We enrolled her in rehab and slowly she has been doing better. We have a better relationship. You are super strong and valient. It pisses me off that your mother didn't protect you. I wish you nothing but the best! And if there is anything that I can help you with please reach out.

    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

      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...
