She went through more trials and tribulations than any child should ever go through. She's an inspiration.

@truckingwithtobee Месяц назад

Absolute scary thing is this happens to a lot more children than you would think. I’d say more than half of people that are on this planet were abused when they were children. Maybe even more.

There's 14k children in fostercare in PA alone. Please consider doing something to help a young person in your community.

My father would tell me the same thing. It hurts me more than it hurts you. And he would also tell me I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it. I was 13 when I first ran away and then ran away again at 15 and never returned again.

I know how you feel. I was adopted also & my adopted parents didn’t love me. So i searched for my biological family. My father is dead & his kids don’t want anything to do with me. I feel the same way about myself as u did. I’m so glad u got help. Most days it doesn’t bother me, others it does.

Foster parents and adoptive parents should be required to sign a ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CORPORAL PUNISHMENT contract. Although all children deserve protection, I feel like children in the system are the most vulnerable. I definitely know about religious schools being allowed to beat on you. It makes a child feel like physical abuse is a parent's right as an adult. Sad story this is. Praying for this woman's healing. 😢 🙏🏽

I also remember the first strike from adult. It was brutal. My stepsister beat me blue black because I rolled my school socks down. She beat me for what seemed like hours. The lashes she inflicted on me didn’t hurt me as much as the betrayal I felt that this was someone I loved so deeply. My mom had died when l was 6. It as a frightening time for me. Trying to understand all the abuse I endured from various people. I never told a soul to this day about what l endured .

Thanks Stacy for sharing your story. It helps for victims of trauma to hear experiences similar to their own. I feel for the child in you who was abused so harshly. I appreciate how you explain your trauma in both biological and psychological terms. Many people don't know how trauma changes the brain. I've used EMDR to "rewire" mine. It has pleasantly surprised me how well it works. I just got the Audible book of your bio. Take care.❤

@Warrior_1673 Месяц назад

Dr. Stacy Patton I'm so proud of you. You have endured so much trauma at such a young age. I hear so many stories like yours and worse and can't imagine being put in the same situations. I don't know why people foster and/or adopt children that have already been beaten down by their very short life to just to be physically beaten down by the one's that are supposed to love, protect, and keep safe. Why do people decide to make a child's life so much more unbearable, unsafe and scary. The people who do these acts of violence should be held accountable and placed in jail. It's not fair or right to the kids being subjected to so much violence and brutal beatings for mundane unnecessary reasons. I'm so happy and proud that you grew up to be such a beautiful, respectful articulate and smart woman. Many many more blessings to you throughout your journey in life and much happiness to you always~🌷💓🌞🙏🏽🦋🌹💐😇💞🙏🏽💫🌼🤗

I was adopted and my adoptive mother's own mother was a HUGE hypocrite...always hollering jesus in church and claiming to be "christian".....MEANWHILE she would beat her over every little thing,make her the cinderella of the house by having her do all the work,cooking,etc. Theres alot of things black people try to sweap under the rug..this is why i talk to my son now about stuff.

I Experience All Of That Kind Of Wicked Discipline With My Own Bio Parents Growing Up In Africa 🌍 That Kind Of Discipline Is Very Common In The 70s, 80s And 90s. My Bio Father Make Me Take Off My Whole Clothes At Age 16 Before Beating Me With Belt But Naked. All Of My Back Was Open Wounds.

There has to be life beyond this realm or place that we're residing now, because the world is just too evil I look at a precious moments Bible that I've had since the second grade, and I remember looking at a picture where it has all these little happy children around God ,as a child that seems so realistic to me, but this life that we're living is so far from that picture there has to be something beyond this because this just can't be it there's no way children can just be born in this world to be hurt and abused there has to be something better than this because this world is sick an evil

Nobody needs to be a biological, foster and adoptive child to come into the world to be mistreated like garbage. That being the case, better off being alone, to look into the mirror and be attracted to oneself. Hate is causing negative hostile antics. In order to get along, we need positive inputs.

@rapptown5285 Месяц назад

You survived the storm of it all doing all those great things wrote books doing lectures talking on behalf of abused children but you didn’t become a foster parent and rescue other foster children you should have been a advocate for foster children help reconstruct the foster care system

@rocb5473 Месяц назад

WTH comment is this telling her what she should have done. Wow. You’ve no clue why she made the decisions she’s made. I’m shocked someone would try to guilt this woman. She was a victim of abuse. She owes no one a damn thing. It’s taken her a lifetime to heal her own wounds and scars. Let her do that however she deems necessary.
