Hi mjtee7869 smart woman you are! Gracious and Generous! It's best for single Moms to wait till their children are at least big enough to KNOW what's What! e.g.: High School age, before considering dating again, if it didn't work out w/their baby's father. Providing the baby's father is sane enough to not prey on children! He can help co-parent, at least in the lane of protection. On the #KendraG dating show, when a single-Mom of small kids or a baby, no less! Come on the show, the chat-box shows Many Comments asking her or telling her: to Focus on raising her children before seeking 'new' man in her life! Children shouldn't be subjected to Adult Activities let alone Adult Illness! 😞

Yes most stepfathers will abuse in any form the stepdaughter I see this a lot and most times the girls tells the mom but the mom sides with the man so she won’t be alone it’s sad but most girls will endure this
The grandma: "Tell me, when he is doing the NEXT time." 🤦🏼♀️

I’m sorry you were not protected🙏🏽
I knew before even watching that her mother would choose to believe her boyfriend/fiancé over her own daughter. It's a sad situation in the blaq family that the male figures are protected while the daughters get abused.v😢

You seem so very strong after all you’ve been through. Thank you for sharing your story. I have heard that some people get tattoos because it helps like cutting helps. When you told that part of your story my heart hurt for the hurt you experienced. Cathy O’Brien has written a book for people who have been abused and are survivors! She says that keeping a journal is so necessary and so helpful. How amazing you figured that out yourself. You are a very strong person. God bless you for the trauma you’ve suffered and I pray His blessings on you for what you are doing to help others! 🙏🕊✝️🩷🥰
This was a sad story.
How can parents and families be this way?

We only have to forgive when somebody beg for sorry. He didn't.

That's not true. Jesus just said to forgive. If you don't, He won't forgive you
What a beautiful woman
This is beyond sad! You are a living testimony ❤
The grandmother is no better than the mother. Tell me if he ever does it again. She should have gone straight to the police CPS or DFS as it is referred to in some states.
❤ you were robbed of a childhood, you are so incredibly brave ❤
Hopefully some day your story will be on the big screen... Hopefully that would raise awareness for mothers .... I am so sorry you had such a hard childhood. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story.
I’m so sorry this happened to you baby girl 😢😢 I want to give you lots of hugs 🫂
I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this at such a tender age.... I truly understand your pain and I know that this is a lifetime struggle with and without therapy...., but God's grace and mercy will always be there for you, me and all the other children and adults that has endured such unwarranted abuse and trauma 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾 God bless you and your family. One day at a time that'll make us stronger. I'm going to read your book 😊 Thank you for sharing your story ♥️

May god bless you. I’m so sorry you had this happen. ❤
This is my nightmare with my own children. There’s a lot of evil men out there praying on vulnerable women.
I can identify with your story. I'm sorry that you and i had to endure these things.
Why on all of these videos do they block the abusers faces and protect them? I do not like that
WOW!🙏🏾

I’m very transparent about my story, in hopes to help the next person. When you’re young, confused without any guidance, I really didn’t know what to do, plus abortions are legal so at the time I felt it was my best option. I wouldn’t make that decision today, but I’m sure everyone has made a decision that they regret. Thank you for watching my story. God bless❤
I dont understand your story. Who was the child father? Who was the guy that moved in

Thank you for watching my story. A lot of my story was edited and removed so it left a lot of unclarity like the part that I spoke on about my son’s murder. The guy who moved in was someone who I considered a friend, and my son’s father was someone I knew, not the molester.
12:29 2:23 Well unfortunately things like that happened with some Stepfather thankfully I didn't go through that with my Mom Boyfriend the other comments talking about Women is putting a Man before the Daughter is being selfish just because a Women move on with her children without the Father does not mean she putting a Man before her children, 12:23 It not wrong for her to move on that in case a Women shouldn't be with Father of the children some Father rape and molest theirs own children and before someone chime in what I said is stupid naw it stupid to think it okay to blame Woman for a Man in general for raping and molested their Children unless she aware than shut up 10:59 12:50 and if she aware then she leave and no I haven't been through that with my Daughter thankfully but I have some folks to telll me to wait until she 18 year old which I didn't 4:28 sounds to me a jealous and a hypocritie would say that 13:31
she murdered her baby?

Yes, I had an abortion. I brought awareness to abortions because unfortunately they are still legal. I am Pro-Life, due my situation I have helped many other women decide not to abort. Abortions are more common than you may think because no one talks about it. Thank you for watching my story ❤
