From Adversity To Victory: A Story Of Hope 

SHE LET THE CHILD MOLESTING COUSIN STAY AROUND HER CHILDREN???😢 WE WONDER WHY SOME CYCLES ARE "NOT" BROKEN!!!!😢 SMH!

He wanted to stay with you because he knows your daughters is young

Huh?!!!! You let him around your kids?!!! Aw hell naw. I'm sorry for what you went through but that was reckless to gamble your children's lives. Pedophiles don't ever change. That's crazy.... If something happened to them that's on you. You can be loving without putting your kids in harms way. It was was about you but would have been about your kids.

The amount of SA in the black community is crazy, when i was growing up i was told that was a 'white thing'

To tell a pedophile “just know we’re going to protect our kids” before you let him move in with you is the dumbest thing I’ve heard. You failed your kids on that tip. You knew exactly how nasty and evil he was and told him come on down. Your definition of forgiveness is a little wonky also.

“Make better choices” *but turns around and lets abuser have access to kids*

She should’ve done a lot more work with self before recording this! How do you let your own children be in close proximity to YOUR RAPIST!? What makes you think he’s changed? I pray that none of your children experienced abuse by him , but if they did it’s now your fault for allowing him to be there. Normalize forgiving for your OWN healing process, but do NOT normalize reconnecting with pedophiles- what example do you think that sets for your children and other people who have experienced SA? Victim or not, there is work that needs to be done in order to become a worthy advocate for others and she still has such a long way to go.

The abuse this woman suffered really warped her mind. She sounds strangely enamored of her abuser. Sprinkling GOD all over her stories of violence only makes matters worse. I really wish that she had been wise enough, to completely disconnect from the abusers in her family. 😢

I can forgive. However I don't have to be around that person who hurt me.

This just pissed me off.....

Cut the dum as music off or down

No, no we not about to put that crap out there you can forgive but to be foolish and potentially repeat the cycle that's super reckless on both you and your husband. Aint no amount of forgiveness gonna let a sane person move a monster in around my babies. You got life on one side f-d up. Girl go seek a therapist at this point yall couldve kept this story for real.

Forgive but don’t forget allowing this man around your children. 🤦🏾‍♀️

i went through s*xual abuse as a kid and i ABSOLUTELY DO know how to protect my children. there’s no excuse.

She definitely got forgiveness and reconciliation messed up. You can fully forgive and never see that person again.

LaTishia: THEY NEVER STOP!!

You allowed the cousin that took advantage of you to live with you & your children? SMH, totally insane, Idc how you sweeten up his actions.

If you invite the bear into your house, don't be surprised if it makes a mess of things.

I cant even finish watching this

I can forgive, but don’t mean imma fool with you! Ain’t no way he’d be allowed around me let alone my children!

Nope, no way, not happening. Sex abusers don’t get cured. I believe you but I’d never put my little girl around a predator and murderer.

What?!?! You let him move in with your kids?????????😮😮😮😮

My cousin s.a me my sister and brother. He's a year or 2 older then me. I'm the oldest of my 2 siblings. I have 3 kids of my own. My cousin is still around my family. I will not let him around my kids. I hate him. He's a drunk now. My brother is a drunk aswell. My brother's is hurting I know it. Because of that bastard cousin of ours

THIS MAKES ME NAUTIOUS AND SICK FOR THIS POOR LADY...

I watch this channel alot and this video makes me really unsettled and it just doesn't feel right. IMO there is really something wrong here. I feel so bad for what she went through, but, no. There's something really wrong here. Moving the pedophile into the home? And who cares if he's younger than she thought he was? He raped her repeatedly and murdered a man. Stay far away from such a person. Forgive from a distance if you want to forgive, a very huge distance!!

This channel is irresponsible, these stories should be screened better. This woman and her husband allowed a pedòpħìłe to live with them and their defenseless young child and you guys still posted this story.

I am so so sorry this happened to you, its so heart breaking to hear your story and your father's awful treatment😢. I pray you continue to thrive and wish you peace.

This story brought tears to my eyes. I went through sexual abuse started with my half sibling. I did all I could even at such a young age, offering myself to protect my sister. You really welcomed that monster of a cousin into your home with your own children? This raises a safe guarding issue. I need to know if you had any counselling at all? You went through so much trauma growing up. As a child you have no understanding and the chemicals are unbalanced in the brain. You can forgive yourself but dont forget. These monsters who have no conscience, go on to abuse by using any forms of manipulation to get what they want. I have knots in my stomach for the safety of your own children. Take it from a woman who has been there and is still affected many many years later. I pray healing, love and light into your life.💜❤️

You are so strong. Thank you for sharing. You continue building your relationship with God.

Truly sorry you went through what no child should go through in life, God bless you for speaking out, for those who can't speak with abuse from their experience

All these people that come and pure out there heart,I pray that all of those sick people would be jailed

all of these comments here JUDGING THIS WOMAN IS FCKING HORRENDOUS!!!!! I thank God for growth as well as everyone else should with this lady's experience. I honestly think, because everyone loved the guy, she was almost forced to "sweep it under the rug". thats why i believe she allowed him back in and thats why she still somewhat loved him as a child because she saw that everybody loved him. i have my own experience i can relate to on that so thats why i can understand. yall got to stop being so fcking judgy at yall BIG, grown age !!! these folks read these comments !!

If “god” was never a thing, everything you went through would still have happened. Know and understand your own strength. I’m sorry you went through this. I wish you the best

Beautiful testimony. Love your transparency. Forgiveness is most definitely for us! Thank you and God bless you!

So you let your abuser live with you 🙊

Hallelujah🙌🏾 "with love and kindness have I drawn thee"

It is not medically necessary to have a baby 6 months early. I think this lady means she was born at 6 months gestation, NOT 6 months early.

Thank You for sharing your soul ❤❤❤

Oh no he would not have been able to live with me & im not sorry about it either. I’m glad she was in the position as an adult to save her mama

she was born 6 months early???? so..3 months? maybe i’m somewhat ignorant but is that even possible?

So sorry you articulated your story very well

So proud of you for pulling through and not letting it take you down. Your mama checking, that's her way, to know for sure- in her eyes and in her experience. Lord have mercy, generational abuse/trauma is a NASTY thing.. alot of people are so sheltered and brainwashed while growing up and with abuse, they don't know anything else or that there IS something else. It's absolutely tragic. When a childs innocence is taken,their light dims or extinguishes.. the world keeps getting darker, depravity is sweeping this planet at an alarming rate. The light must prevail, but it's hard to keep up the good fight with such sad shit on such a wide scale🤦🏻‍♀️. God, come back to us we need help♥️ Also, I always say, don't stay together "for the kids" having experienced my mother being abused physically verbally emotionally mentally by my father, those are some of my earliest memories, you best believe that shit scarred me for life.

SIS AMAZING AND BRAVERY OF YOU KEEP HELPING OTHERS I APPLAUD 👏🏽 YOU 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

I'm so sorry girl ❤my best wishes for you❤

I feel like we have so much in common. The abuse at home and having to protect your mom. And, why I got older I started learning more about God and the scriptures how God teaches us to love ourselves and to forgive those that harmed us. It’s not easy to forgive someone that hurt you both directly and indirectly. Me seeing and hearing the fights. Always wonder when dad comes home is it gonna be ok or is there gonna be a huge fight tonight. I was always living in the edge with anxiety it did affect me I was outgoing and happy kid, but turned into a shy unhappy to teenager. Art and music were my passions too. I always loved playing sports and weightlifting at age 12. If I had confidence I would have joined the wrestling team in middle school. Anyways, I was bitterly angry at the people that harmed me even angry at my parents for making me grow to fast and not enjoy being a child then teenager. I would dislike some of my classmates because I just thought they were so immature and how are these kinds of people are popular? I learned they were just being children young teenagers having fun and they were the normal ones not me who was usually always serious. With my group of friends I was the funny one and athletic one. Playing sports and lighting weights made me feel strong and powerful because I had no power in my life at home. I’m in my 40s I’ve worked a lot on myself, but there’s still so much work to do. I just try to help others that are younger than me because I don’t want them to take most of their life to learn to love themselves and feel their are deserving of love. I missed out on so many opportunities because I didn’t have any support and it’s so hard to have to be my own cheerleader. I try to remind myself I don’t live in my past now and I’m an adult that has control of my life. I’ve experienced many good things also. Thanks for your story. I feel like we are sisters spiritually. The world needs more people like you.

I believe in forgiveness and all but hth you invite a demon to dwell in your home with your young daughters. The fact y'all had to warn him should have been the reason to say HELL NO you can't come here!!

you were born 6 months early? that would make your mom 3 months along which is barely 14 weeks along.. no way a 14 week fetus survives.

My last name is Lanier also. Very rare to see...sry for what u had to endure. May god cover u 🙏🏾

Born six months early is insane and a miracle

god blessed you to get thur this amen 🙏🙏🙏 am sooo sorry this happened to you

Everything you said is right.

Imagine being a 4 year old little girl With a grown man’s manhood trying to go inside that baby.. My daughter is 4 and I would literally DIE! lord jesus

Omg… that’s horrible

Wait! Did she just say, she was 6 mths early??? That's not possible

Forgive yourself but forget about your predators.

God bless you 🙏 and all the best in life 💕

I have zero sympathy for you as you allowed this man around your kids smh .. just spineless smh

There's also no way in this lifetime or any other ,that I could NOT have made him dig a hole in the back yard for him to stay in. Lord says to forgive.. I'm sorry, your stronger than me, cuz hurting children is Unforgivable

It triggers me when she says he did what he needed to do. I know whay she means, but that wording is just so ....I don't know the word for it. It's not an accurate way to say it.

Dcf needs to get involved she is failing to protect her kids

Amen hallelujah

Your mother stayed with that homicidal maniac?! Insanity!!!

Hold on WHAT!? 😮WOW disgusting CPS needs to get involved.

🎉🎉🎉🎉

I’m sorry but you were irresponsible for letting this person in your house around your daughters. How about YOU make better choose Ma’am!!

He wanted to stay with u cause he know u got girls he do not need to live there

Ok, I'm not feeling this one...

🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪

I'm not clear on what approach he used? Coercion? Grooming?

You should have got out before with information

So true!

Why are words showing up on the screen it seems a bit weird. Also i don't think its necessary to go into such detail of the abuse. I don't think it is helpful in any way and it doesn't seem right. Especially when certain words are being highlighted on the screen. Im really starting to wonder about this channel.

My daughter turned on me and loves her abuser her cousin told me I should had died both mine turned but I couldn't handle it because I didn't know they refused to tell me when I asked questions

Smh😢

Reported

Its so funny how people give their power away to god….god didnt do anything you did this on your own and you found the strength

Naw sis 😒

I read the comments......your family is in trouble with you..also hidding behind food and sky daddy isnt going to work either...ADDRESS IT YOURSELF AND STOP LETTING SUCH CHARACTERS AROUND WTH😡😡😡

Not sure why you let a predator around your own daughters. This account is very rambling and hard to understand.

Too much rambling for me sorry

Toxic narcissist

If this isnt BLACKISTAN story,i dont know what is yikes😬😬😬🫣
