Amish Preacher’s Daughter Tells Dad She’s Leaving The Community | Breaking Amish 

Everyone is talking abt how the boy isn't worth it. It's not about the boy! If you listen to her, she's really crying out against the lack of freedom.

Her family speaks to her like that and then wonders why she wants to leave? Go be with your man, he respects you more than your parents ever did.

I live in Amish Country (I am not Amish tho) and I can say that this is really how life is for them.. Sadly the women do chores, birth babies & listen to their husbands 24/7 that's their whole lives. Many Amish are leaving nowadays, they're tired of being suppressed.

Nobody should ever feel like they are going to lose their whole family just for saying they want to live somewhere else or just for falling in love with someone who lives somewhere else.

The sister was only crying because she'll be in this same situation one day.

My heart goes out to Barbie. She seems like such a sweet girl, but just isn’t ok with all these rules and expectations set on her and she wants to live freely. When she said “why would my dad say that to me? That wasn’t my dad”. Her dad wasn’t thinking as her dad at that moment and was thinking more like a preacher and what his community would think about him if she left

emotional blackmail is a terrible thing, beit from an abusive husband or your 'family', I hope she leaves this controlling way of life and starts actually living.

Poor girl, hope she finds peace wherever she ends up. She's done the right thing, emotional blackmail and servitude is no way to live.

So sad that a father can treat his daughter in such a way. My prayers go out for her❤️

I am born and raised in Lancaster County. While I am not Amish I see and hear about this all the time. The Amish community is one face-covering away from being as controlling of women as the Taliban.

The way she described she has to choose between the love of her life and her family just confirms she is in a cult

The shaming and guilt tripping... I have no words. There is no love in that family.

My great grandma had one of these black irons and to this day since i saw this video i thought it was just for decoration and it's probably still in my garage/shed,but boy do i miss her

A REAL dad would Never say that to his daughter

The hardest thing to grieve is to grieve for someone who is still alive.

Shes beautiful. I hope she chooses freedom shes obviously thirsting for it , and I wish her nothing but good things, happiness and success in her choices.

I want to hug her so bad. You can never go too far to be forgiven. ❤️ I hope she’s found happiness and peace. Poor sweet thing having to give up her family.

Her dad is manipulative

Dads comment says it all, she made the right choice. It’s not about a boy it’s more than that. Hope she finds peace :(

Don't take it to hard what your father said ,he's just angry. Your sister may follow suit one day and you'll be there for her.

Dang her entire life is so controlled, no wonder she wants to leave. These people use religion to keep their children under their thumb. I hope she leaves and thrives in the “English” world.

barbie is beautiful. I hope she find happiness

For a Community that supposedly believes in Christ they literally have NO FREE WILL, that is NOT what the Lord wants for his children, when you literally control EVERYTHING someone else does in their daily life , that's not loving, caring or doing anything God wants, you're just keeping power over others , I can guarantee they don't have to do any of what they put on others , they have Freedoms these woman and girls do not (nor the men and boys) It's only those at the top that get to CHOOSE their own lives, NO ONE wants to be controlled 24/7 that's just ABUSE not love.

Daddy’s emotional abuse is so cruel.

My family treats me like that. I shunned myself and Im not even amish. Moved 5 hrs away.

She's 22!? All that work has definitely aged her! Poor girl

That trauma and confusion is so real. I feel for her so deeply. It was like hearing my parents speak all over again.

I feel her when she's crying about her sister and her father; I am close to my own dad and my sister, If I had to leave them for this reason it would crush me too. Still, I can also understand her need for freedom of choice, I believe everyone deserves to have that kind of freedom regardless of their family's opinion. I really hope that maybe her family will warm up and accept her decisions over their reputation in the community.

Jesus Christ. These people. I'm the father of a daughter. I couldn't bare my little girl feeling like this. Daddy loves her no matter what!

Poor girl or any people that lives like that. I mean when you cant choose nothing.. you have to say yes for everything...

Everyone has a right to be happy. I hope she finds it.

The father used her sister as part of a bribery tactic-this girl will never get what she wants

I'm the grandson of a reverend my grandfather met me when I was 16 years old and he told me then do what you have to do to make your life easier I know your parents raised you the best they can and I know you're the black sheep of the family but I still accept you for who you are if your father can't accept you for your decisions to leave the Amish figure out what you want and leave then that ain't a man that's a coward he's hiding behind whatever he wants to hide behind he should never disown his own child that is ridiculous I wish you nothing but the best of luck

I feel so sorry for her. What her dad said was awful.

This girl has right to chase her dreams. The world has so many opportunities available for this girl. God bless Barbie and her boyfriend.

This young lady is one of the bravest persons I've seen. You have to find your own way in life. If her parents are going to have a problem with that I guess they'll just have to have a problem with that.

I wish this brave couple the very best of luck.

He needs to man up and face her parents. For her. To support her!

It’s not “why would family treat you like that”. It’s that they want their offsprings to be in the same faith and community and they know bad and vulnerable city life is. Unless matured enough, going to a city life is totally different. One can be deceived and get into many off stuffs.

That is just painful to watch.. the conversation with her dad. Breaks my heart

If she was to speak to some other girl from the middle East that doesn’t have a “choice” I assure you they would tell her to run not walk away. She’s letting her heart tell her what’s right, and instinctively to be controlled like an object is wrong & her parents KNOW IT!

Best thing an older sister can model for a younger one is leaving! My older sister having left gave me the courage to do it too. God bless!

I’m a Christian and I’m not Amish. For me living my life I know God loves me unconditionally no matter what.

My realtor friend was raised Amish but chose not to join the church. He’s doing fine on his own. It’s hard to leave behind everything and everyone you’ve ever known.

You can tell from her demeanour that she will love the English world and thrive in it.

Being called a wh*re by YOUR dad is probably the absolute worst feeling in yhe world. That's horrible. Especially since she was super close to him when she was growing up. I'm so glad that my dad doesn't treat me like that.

That is a really sad situation. People should not have to make a choice like that.

I’m so sorry barb! I hope you’ve found healing from this and don’t let those words hold you down

Dad was her best friend only as long as she was completely under his control.

I worry that even though he left the Amish, that he still retains some beliefs regarding women. Their relationship will be a lot different married and living together instead of sneaking off to hang out without being seen. I just hope she finds happiness and freedom.

Him: I don't want to go in there with you, but I'll wait outside. Boy, bye. That right there says he's not worth it.

The guilt the family puts on her is awful. All they care about is how they look in the eyes of the community and think nothing about their child and what they’re going through.

sounds toxic.. my heart goes out to these individuals who want a different path in life. We should be able to decide our future. Nobody else.

I really hope I could hug her and tell her that she isn't wrong at all for wanting to choose a different path. Surely, the pressure on her and her sister are really heavy. And there's the guilt because you don't want your parents to look bad in the eyes of others because you love them deeply. I know the feeling. I really want to meet her and give her my support. You're really courageous. I hope parents would be able to understand that their children are not them. What they believe in is not their children's belifes. Please understand us. As a family, we should be accepting.

Lord bless this girl mightily and show her who You are and Your love for her. Keep her safe from all harm and guide her into all understanding about You and Your word and truth.

My heart broke for her.

Emotional Damage 💔 no dont do it this guy is selfish he should come with you to your parents

She speaks perfect English. The ones I saw in the US Penn state, they kind of spoke broken English and scored very low on the standard education test GED

Any community that says 'you cant leave us or you will be a whore' needs to be left.

God Bless you both. You should not be treated, so bad...family should support. Good or. Bad...love you both.

Wish her the best for her future

Good luck and you got this and you are making the right choice praying for you and have incredible new adventure 🙏🏻❤️ unbelievable incredible beautiful queen inspiring person.

I feel for these kids. 😥

They’ve should’ve been able to tell She’s gonna end up leaving the Amish you can tell by the way she talks and act and feels it’s jus not in her heart

Responsible, Fair, and Honest parents don't force their children to live in a religion they did not choose, once they are of age to make their own decisions,,, I did not force my children to follow my adopted religion or get out of my house

“I’m not comfortable with cameras”…. shows hella selfies and pics of her in full English attire with make up, clothes, hair, earrings lol

I wanna hug her she deserves better all her life she's been told that she's only good for being a mother theirs a whole world out there to explore

Hope They will get a good life together🙏They both seems like nice people

If you truly love someone with your whole heart nothing else matters its between the two people there love for each other will over come all obstacles

I feel like even an Amish parent should want there children to follow there heart and do what they feel is right even if that means leaving and experiencing the worlds

We left them too , we know the feeling! So heartbreaking 💔

She is absolutely beautiful!!

You feel trapped and don't know if you can or should try to do something about it. I am not studied in the lifes of Amish culture or rules. I hope and wish you the best in your journey in this world that is harder to recognize anything that was right and now its considered wrong.

This is an interesting season of this show - her nails have peeling, neutral-tone nail polish 💅🏻 (thought that wasn’t allowed?), her dad has a cell phone for his business (a bit hypocritical?), and her eyebrows appeared plucked. Not things we saw in the other episodes before they left home.

I'm also a preacher daughter but in my denomination I was not allowed to have any choice at all !!! So I had to run away. Yes, children must obey parents but when they grow up, they take responsibility and have choice too. Most religions make the same mistake, which brings into this. Kid's should be taught me shows what is good and what it bad so they can see the difference long before they reach their age when they cab run away to something they never seen or seen so little and have no idea what's that. Also, youth must have choice to date before decide if they want to marry this person or not. Choice is what is taking from those community, that's why there are such problems. Teach kids to make right choices from their childhood.

I feel so bad for her, that was messed up what he said to her. I get he was worried about how it would look, upset with his daughter leaving, I get how they might see it as "being unequally yoked" part, but the W word was unncessary.

This is incredibly heart breaking. This culture has part of the truth of God, but they are decieved into thinking that God wants rules to control you. How crazy confusing it must be to have part of the truth and still be so far from God's real heart for people.

I live in Kentucky and some of the Amish people here are some of the sweetest kindest people you will ever meet . If she was to move to cave City or Glasgow I think the Amish community here would be more accepting . I know you don't have to be Amish or any other denomination all you have to do is love the Messiah with all your heart and keep his commandments and do his will .

I lived in NYC and trust me being a paster’s daughter among amish community seems so much better.

Its the right transitional thing to do to grow up and leave your parents and a sign the parents have done a good job raising their children to stand on their own too feet.

How can her little sister be listening in when she just explained that her parents may only have one phone in ther garage . How fake !!!!

God bless her. I wish her all the best. I used to have one of these black irons. I have some Amish ancestry on my Father's side.

I feel the same way in the English world. There's really no difference when we have such traditional families. I'm back in with my parents and they are a godsend for me to have.

that's family for you they can and will treat you bad in so many ways its sad but true I hope you find life out there and see the big old world we have outthere for you and do you what you want in life.

I live near a Amish community and I’ve met some of the Amish kids and they are going through the same thing. They put it bluntly it is an cult. The religion does not make scents.one of them goes to my church

You should enlist in the military really freak him out

She not sinning at all when too people like each other it’s called love just like how her dad loves her mom

You find someone you love and they love you, cherish it and old one to it...

Good luck young lady...you will be fine

for someone uncomfy with cameras, she sure has a lot of selfies

Its immature of your father not realising children leaving home to marry is healthy.

I'm going to watch but only for entertainment as I love watching about Amish life. But as for the Judging her? Naah... Why wld I do that when the Amish have enough judging of their own going on. So for entertainment, yes. But to sit on a throne and Judge her when we know absolutely nothing about their lives, or the inner struggles that some of them go through, No. It's Not for any of us to judge her, or any of the Amish.

Follow your heart. God loves you🙏🏻

Being German and being able to understand them talking to each other without subtitles shows you how stuck I time time they are. It's like they just stopped moving forward. Almost like in some areas of Columbia and Africa. It feels weird.

Prettiest girl out there, wow.

she is such a beautiful lady

The Amish life might be fun for a while but it gets boring a few years later

She definitely needs to leave that cult!

I so can't see Amish naming his daughter Barbie

This story is tragically romantic.
