She has dearly touched my heart. Thoughts and prayers for her and her children.

My mother was a Midwife for over 40 yrs. Delivering among the Amish & English (as they refer to us) alike. She delivered women at home and hospitals. She delivered generations of babies. She would tell us she had to kick the men out of bed. They would be with the women right after giving birth. No waiting 6 week minimum for them. It’s sickening! The women were treated for infections, tears and a few would need surgical repairs. The men cared nothing for their pain & plight. My mom was very protective of the women. She counseled women to leave. The Amish retaliation was real and scary. We all had to be careful.

When are we going to understand that religious right should not exist not in lieu of some of these rights at best but at the expense of people's rights? Teach your children, teach them morals and show them a great role model they want to be when they grow up. But don't indoctrinate them! Don't use religion to instill fear in your children to get your own away. Give them an education. Don't threaten expulsion of the community especially within family. Don't force them to work insane long hours under dangerous work conditions for a little to no pay all for the idea of saving the world or correcting one's behavior. Don't starve children. You're right to freedom does not give you the right to take away that right for your child. Misappropriation begins where it can begin. This honor system the court has and believing that no parent would take advantage of their child even for religious beliefs as abhorrently wrong and we have seen it time and time again. Children deserve the right to safety, and freedom, and the right to prosper. I know it's controversial, but even if they're female... SMDH laws need to be changed people. And everyone of you complaining about CPS just so you know we expect CPS to be mind readers we haven't actually change laws to mandate any kind of scrutiny into domestic abuse accusations. This is a structure and a system that has stood for far too long.

I send prayers to Elizabeth. Such a strong woman. My sisters and I many times talked with our Mom to leave our father because of the abuse she was going through (And us 3 girls). But because of the brainwashing my father did to Mom she stayed.😢 Mom was with our father til she died at age 75 from cancer in 2006. I even witnessed him hitting her a month before she died. Unfortunately(!) my 97 year old father is still alive in 2023. He still ‘tries’ to mentally abuse us sisters, like he did Mom, and my eldest sister is almost to the age my Mom died, but we know better and won’t allow it. Us girls still must take care of our father even though we have had enough of him. But, if we didn’t take care of him, us sisters would be in trouble by law for abandoning the elderly. God said we must “Honor our fathers and Mothers”. My sisters and I will give honor that he ‘fathered’ us, but we have no respect for him.

I called police, my husband admitted to hitting me in front of everyone and threatened kidnapping me (again), and still my family told the cops to stand in a circle, hold hands and pray that we stay together 🤦‍♀️ it was bizarre... the cops actually did it! Thank God a female cop pulled me aside and gave me a card for the domestic violence program. I have been free from an abusive spouse for over 10 years now. I am still religious. Its not religion that requires women to stay with abusers... but a misunderstanding and misapplication of it. A man who does not care for and protect his family is worse than an infidel... even slaves are freed if they are abused... the Bible actually does support abused women escaping, but evil ppl twist scripture to something it is not supposed to be.

Living in Indiana, and knowing what I do about the Amish, but applies to other “cults” as well, is that the #1 thing that usually keeps a victim silent is the loss of that person’s family, community, and friends. #2 is financial, since people can be controlled easily if they have no means to take care of their children. #3 is lack of education, which again goes back to being able to financially support their children, but also function without their community.

Ive been listening to interviews with ex Amish lately, a lot of the time in old order settlements, births aren't recorded or recognized on a federal level, so the people who escape have to literally start their new lives from nothing, like they have the extra hurdle of basically becoming a citizen. One woman had to apply for a social security number, like she basically didn't exist before escaping

I had a male neighbor that grew up in an Amish sect that was sexually abused by some of the men from the time he was a boy. He was able to break free of them but he was mentally and emotionally messed up until the day he died. Such a tragic story!

Agreed. As a grown woman now but when I was a little girl I would beg my mom, constantly bug her, not for the Easy-Bake Oven, not for the Barbie doll RV, but mamamamamamamamamama can we go live in the woods. That's how I said it. One day she grabbed me and shook me and yelled at me got all up in my face and said no no no we can't go live in the woods and don't you ever ask me again. She wouldn't leave my abusive father until that is until she found out he was sleeping around behind her back having affairs. She got a phone call from a man one day it was on a Sunday. It was during the summer time. Man had recordings where he had surveilled my father and his wife talking on the phone and he was divorcing his wife. He was calling to tell my mother that his wife and my father have been having an affair and it was something like one or two years that the affair had been going on. That's when my mama finally left him. She wouldn't do it for us, but she did it herself. It destroyed all of my siblings, they are people that turned out to be just like him. Except, for my one brother, the brother that my father had beaten so bad and all different types of forms of abuse to extensively making him mentally handicapped. Mothers who leave abusive relationships and put their kids first get a standing ovation from me.

As someone who has lived among the Amish in Indiana (about 15 minutes from Topeka) and still lives in the county next door to them, I'm not shocked at all. The amount of crimes hidden among the Amish community is a well known secret around the area. But because of their lifestyle, it's very hard for the "English" to do anything. While many are wonderful people, not all are. To add: If horses come 2nd and women and children last, that tells you a lot because I've seen first hand how many treat their horses. My ex boyfriend stopped me from going off on one beating his horse on the side of the road as cars just drove by. Some are backyard puppy mills who sell sick puppies. Again, not ALL Amish are bad. I've just seen some of the bad stuff myself. To Elizabeth: You are a wonderful woman! You are a hero to many others, Amish or English, who feel they can't escape.

I do not even know this woman & I want to hug her and hold her tight. Strongest, bravest woman on this earth. Every man, woman, child, who has stood up for not only themselves, but others as well.

As a survivor of this kind of religious abuse from parents, I wanna say thank you for bringing exposure to these things and please please please shout it louder until everyone understands what these poor women are going through and why they can't find support if they go looking for help to get out!!! Its terrifying, I can't even explain how scary it is to walk away from the only life you've ever known and the people who are viewed as wise and knowing telling you you're going to hell for what you are doing.

As a survivor of child SA...I applaud you. Your words ring true. Bc of my childhood I thought God had let me down and found solace in the bottle til age 43 when I found sobriety in a 12 step program. I arrived broken, afraid and wishing for death...and it was near. I had 3 young girl and tho I never hit them I did just as much harm in neglecting them. My oldest was 6 and already playing mom. Two yrs sober I found a therapist specializing in childhood trauma. By this time I had come to believe in a God of My understanding. My faith was not restored in any church but only thru a month of praying...Hey if you're there help me not drink today.Then I'd head to a MTG... Around ppl like me who bolstered me .....I'd pray on the way home, Please Don't let my car turn into that liquor store. At night I'd thank this Higher Power not really sure if this was real. After two months of doubt and white knuckling against drink. I was standing in my little kitchen when the words came....I've not thought about drinking for 3 days. The obcession was gone and has never returned My life today is full of joy And peace. When hard times came I knew I'd survive. I don't preach. And I politely shut down ppl who say I need a church to enter their heaven. I work with women who are where I've been. Many go back out and don't survive...some do. Alcoholism is a powerful, insidious and very patient disease. I only pray a little several times daily to be willing to walk His word....to stay in peace and help others. Yes the footsteps prayer is great. I begin each morning with silent words I say to self by poet Emily Dickinson.... Hope is the thing with feathers that perches the soul and sings the tune without words and never stops at all. It lightens me when a man, my brothers, have a good understanding of abuse and all it's Fallout and says no this cannot be ignored. Thnx for your post. Sorry mine so long but I'm a spread the hope girl. I'm a survivor. I hope my words reach one person maybe

This doesn't just happen to Amish women. My ex-husband cheated on me . I told him that the only way I would think of staying was if he would go with me to marriage counseling. He said he would agree to talk with the pastor. The pastor just gave us bible verses that said the wife was to be subservient to the husband. I told the pastor that I wasn't raised to buy that BS. My Dad left for another woman when my sister and I were 5 and 6.I told him I was raised by a strong single mother and was not raised to be subservient to anyone. Obviously I took our 9 month old daughter and left.

Generations ago, Amish communities may have been strong Christians.
