    Thank you Mark for letting me share my story. It was a healing moment in my journey. I wish I could’ve deep dived more into some things, my nerves got the best of me. However, I just hope my message got through that it is possible to choose the life you want, despite the cards you are dealt with.

    Sabrina is a wounded combat survivor from early childhood (C-PTSD). She's smart and tough but fragile on the inside. I think she's developed strengths that most people can only aspire to, like honesty and loyalty. Her better angels have kept her from damning those who hurt her but that continues to be a constant psychic struggle for her. Acceptance is the key to all her (and our) problems and it's damn hard and a life-long struggle. Go girl.

    I had an experience recently where a childhood friend had become schizophrenic & so I called some places to ask questions & see if I could get them help & I was told that people do not develop schizophrenia at that age & it was most likely happening due to some opioid drug use. Sorry I can’t remember what they specifically called it. Well I had no idea but apparently they were correct & the person had secretly become addicted to opioid pills. I am sharing this because you mentioned that he was fine until he was 30 & it reminded me of those people telling me that schizophrenia typically doesn’t onset at 30-40 years old? …I am not sure if there is any truth to this but in this particular situation they were correct and the reason for the schizophrenia onset was the addiction. Once my friend got clean then their life became much easier and I would say that most of their mental health concerns such as the people following and the various voices did get much much better. Not sure if this could possibly be the case with you brother but may be worth looking into? Sorry and I pray for the best

    Social workers will tell you that no matter how bad the parental abuse is they still want to stay with their Mom and Dad verses adoption or foster homes. I came from an abusive home with a stepfather who was on parole after doing 25 years of a life sentence for murdering two people. We lived in fear, and I hated him, but I loved my mother. At some point I might have rebelled and insisted on living with my biological Dad, but I couldn’t bear the idea of being away from my mother and siblings. I was 55 years old before I ever questioned why she married a murderer and brought him into her home to help raise her 5 children.

Sounds like your mom was the type of woman that had to have a man in her life at all times, and settled on whomever would have her, because there is no way that any descent mother would marry a convict and put up with them abusing her or her children, and cause her to live in fear 24/7. That's awful. Sorry you had to go through that.

    My sibling is Schizoaffective and goes to jail once a year, very difficult and sad. But some advice, Anti-psychotics help impulses and lessen delusions/mania... self medicating is circling the drain in denial.

    Sabrina - Thank you for sharing your story. It took a lot of guts to tell the world what you've been through. You are one of the rare people who come from such a dysfunctional childhood and early adulthood have the strength to rise above. Thank God for your grandmother who showed you what a "normal" life can be and instilled those values and interests that have been so valuable for you. Stay strong. I can't help but think your appearance on Soft White Underbelly will result in a huge infusion of self-worth and personal pride which will help in your recovery from your earlier trauma.

    Im schizoaffective with a very similar childhood background. Despite a nasty alcohol habit i developed later in life i traveled the world got educated have multiple degrees and actively sought healing. I fell but got up again, thats what you do. Its amazing to me that we are pigeon holed as being maladaptive or unable to even formulate sentences. Some of us may have cognitive difficulties, but the stigma around this disorder is very misinformed. I appreciate this channel as it showcases stigmas and those that dont abide by them. I hope for a time when family dynamics change for the better, until then i will be the one to break cycles until further notice.

    Sabrina! Your dog is absolutely stunning! So gracious and beautiful! Also, it seems very aware of your energy and needs, more than most dogs. There's nothing more beautiful than the bond between a dog and it's human. Dogs just have captured most of my heart. People have done nothing than break my heart and shut it down. When I finally got a dog, he started to open my heart again and my next dog really helped me piece together some of the broken pieces and make me a bit more open. The dog I have now is teaching me to be brave and to become more adventurous. I have a feeling his plan is to find me a partner. I absolutely know he has a mission but it took me a long time to understand this. I'm still learning every single day. Dogs over humans without question ❤️

    I wrote this before I got to the part where you said he's a service dog. Him being a servant explains why he's this attentive to you. I still believe some dogs are very intelligent and intuitive. I know a dog who made his owner go the the doctor where she got diagnosed with diabetes. The dog never failed to alert her about her blood levels getting to high or low, preventing her from having seizures. My dog, Luka, is extremely aware of people's energies. When we meet my sister I can just look at my dog and tell how she's doing. It's so incredibly fascinating. None of my other dogs have been like that. Before Luka, I had the love of my life, Emily with me for 14 years. He was so sensitive, a bit nervous but always there for me. Exept from when I got severe anxiety like panic attacks. When that happened he actually went to another room. My guess is that the energy was to much for him to handle.i very rarely cry and when I cried he also removed himself. Luka is totally different. If my sister is having a real bad day, he gets as close to her leg as he can and just sits there. Usually he's very happy to see people and is showing that with his whole body, wanting to be cuddled a lot. But when she's very anxious, all of that is gone and he just calmly walks up to her and sits beside her. I wonder if he's trying to calm her or if he's telling her he's going to protect her from whatever she's afraid of. When I cry he's grinding his face towards my face like cats do. He's just very special in another way than the two other dogs I've had. I wish I was well so I could train him to become a visit dog or a service dog but sadly my anxiety and OCD is preventing me from being able to do that. I'd love to share his beautiful personality with other people, like children with special needs or elderly people living at hospice and so on. It's a shame that such a wonderful dog won't be shared with other people.

If I tried to escape our Fort Knox farm, I’d be dead & buried before I reached the barbwire fence & gate. #survivingtothriving

    @@mikeandevaelizabeth Yes. But first, she kidnapped me as an adult, locked me in a basement, abuse escalated to the point I was close to death for a life insurance policy. God gave me the strength for a final escape to a local abuse center who stated, “You’re our worst case to date.” Naples Shelter for Abused Women & Children, ACT, Collier medical services, pro bono attorneys all worked together & saved my life. They helped with an emergency IFP, criminal charges, civil suits, confidential name/info change & now in the victim protection program. I had collected a box of evidence over my lifetime & witnesses came forward to court proceedings. I have permanent physical damage, multiple ongoing surgeries, intense medical treatments 2-3x a week, etc. One day at a time.

One of our greatest failures is how we've let them down. I also wanted to say how sorry I am for how alone and despairing Sabrina was in the midst of letting go of her twins. Many good wishes her way for the pain of that to gradually ease although I know it never goes away
