nah it’s more of your mind kinda separating emotions from terrible memories, like you can talk about trauma and not break down talking about it, you can think about your loved ones without getting so upset and overwhelmed, other people might see it as you moving on or being strong but it’s not even really you doing it it’s your brains way of keeping you from going crazy tbh. i lost my dad in April and my grandma in may exactly one month later on Mother’s Day and her birthday the only way i didn’t kill myself was my brain keeping it away even if I think of them every day it’s like i still don’t really think deep enough into it to be as depressed as I was right when it happened bc my brain knows “realizing” it I guess, is what will keep me crying and depressed for weeks straight. idk it’s very hard to explain & understand
I mean the only thing you can do is to cope and try to heal. When your family is murderd in front of you I don’t think you can ever just get “over it”.
@@paigeanguish6216 I get it. I lost my mom 7-24-19. I am her only child. It didn’t hit me until I got to the hospital and was told “she didn’t make it! Even tho I knew in my heart when the ambulance left she was gone. But to hear those words made me almost go crazy. I pulled myself together and even tho after a while I didn’t talk about it I still hurt on the inside. My condolences to you and Rip to my best friend. I love you mommy!
Amen to that , I feel for her so deeply and it saddens me but I do really hope that she can heal at least just a little bit every day little by little as well as her younger sister that also endured this horrible event. God is good and is always available to help us when we need his strength and guidance. I hope they know they can call on him and depend on his mercy and glory and love to help them in their lives🤍
I just want to add that nobody is selfish for being overtaken by grief and truama. I understand her will to fight and I respect that but I wanted to add this for other truama survivors... it's not selfish to drown. I'm glad she seemingly has a really good support system around her. She is really strong but I hope that she can allow herself be gentle with herself.
@@okay5668 I don't think that I am confused cause she says after the pandemic but I am a 72 year old man. I thought maybe she had heard something about the pandemic being over.
Amen. That girl got strength and meant to do something great. She can do anything she sets her mind to. She got nerves of steel, she ain't afraid of nothing and everyday she live she wins. Win all the way girl.
Nope. Extremely tragic event. I feel for the girl, but it's not a valid reason to be pro-death penalty, imo. Even if it's just to prevent innocent people from dying by death penalty, it's reason enough to be against it.
@@Anna133199 If there's no reasonable doubt...... it's on the table. I'm for prison reform, police reform, and I don't think citizens should have weapons of war, but if there's no reasonable doubt it's on the table unless the victims feel strongly against it.
@@anghoppi There's a difference between having no reasonable doubt in the court room and guilt. Just because a jury might be convinced doesn't mean a person actually did it, even if there's prison reform, police reform, etcetera. There are very few cases where it's absolutel 100% certainty because of great camera's, plus admission of guilt, etcetera. So in my view then the question becomes are you willing as a society to let a few innocent people be executed to quench your thirst for revenge?
Absolutely right, but the system will give him life, he will smile and get over by never feeling any remorse or guilt. The system protects perpetrators and victims can only stand by and watch. This is why they are bolder in America than anywhere else in the world!
Even if he was someone that she grew up with/went to school with. The outcome still could've been the same. Its the ones that's closest to you that inflict the most harm.
I really hate this. We go through life daily not knowing how we will go let alone get murdered or have a friend/family member be murdered. Then live the rest of your life without them. It’s just the biggest life change. I really feel for Alexis and I’m so sorry for your loss. Just too tragic and painful. Keep being strong Alexis! And may your family Rest In Peace
Watching her brother dancing or the other ones breaks my heart they looked so happy.. Im sorry baby girl for the loss of your angels, but you will face that man and make him go to prison for good..
HEY ALEXIS I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT CHAIR CRYING AND TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MOTHER AND BROTHER, YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY I'M SO GLAD FOR YOU AND YOUR SISTER, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU ALL
The kid that is also strong is ronnie o'neal the 4th,he saw his father kill his mother and sister and he tried to kill him to but he survived,and he was cross examined by his own father,that choose to be his own attorney,the boy had not seen his father in 3 years he is now 11,but wow a 11 year old that has to live that night all over again and to testify against his father.
She’s one of the strongest people I’ve ever seen and it breaks my heart because she’s a child - she shouldn’t have to be. No child should go through this. No person should go through this. I can’t imagine. Bless her. I know she’s got trauma and the world needs to be patient while she deals with it. I wish her nothing but good things for the rest of her life.
People have to do MUCH better with raising their sons and looking out for the signs. Ridiculous that everyone wants to have a son, wants to have a boy, the daughters are too much work, look at the world we live in again and dare say it’s GIRLS that are too much work. This world is a shitty place because people think men are so simple and easy. Thinking they need no investment in emotional control; emotions are for women right? Smh
This can apply to men and women bc there are crazy men and women too in this world bc crazy and evil doesn’t discriminate based on gender. In general some men and women have to do better in who they to choose date or let come into their lives, be around their kids, and not ignore the signs of crazy or evil when a person shows them who someone truly is. Too many ppl are dating crazy and evil devils who are killing their kids or killing them. Love is not worth being hurt or killed. If your kids don’t like someone sometimes it’s not bc they don’t want you to have anyone it’s only because they see evil or crazy in the other person. Kids spot it way before some adults do bc we can be so blinded by what we think love is and it can blind our perception of what evil or crazy really looks like
@@marysmith7470 Yes but this comment is about how people hope for boys because they aren’t as “emotional” and normally if they have a girl she’s probably going to end up watching her younger siblings and doing all the work.
@@Urmom-ts8gp I’ve never heard anyone want a boy for that reason and I know plenty of ppl who wanted boys to have a male to carry their last name or because they simply wanted a boy. No one I know has ever said they wanted a boy bc they’re less emotional so maybe all the ppl I know are the exception to the rule. I have a son bc I wanted a boy and a daughter bc I wanted a girl. No other reason. Also there are men who have emotions and can get emotional just like a woman can as well as cry (even though they are men and some men can be more emotional than women at times) so I’m not really sure about your statement but ok. Also depending on the age of the child if the child is male and older he’ll end up watching the younger siblings and vice versa
I was abused by a random guy. I understand her fear and Trauma. Its something u never get over when attacked. Took me months to come outside again. Praying for you ❤️😔
This is the thing with dating men, you gotta love your kid's more than these men!!! I have a kid and zero dating life and if I do anything (when I used to)....I kept it out of my home where my son lives. I'm two years plus celibate today and it's no big deal...no one NEEDS that, you gotta choose your kids especially when you've failed to choose a better father for them... you owe it to yourself and them to keep men out of the equation and focus.
That’s a sad outlook. But I understand. However, there are so many happy blended families out here. Don’t let your fear over take your happiness. There are so many more stores if men killing, raping and abusing their own blood children. 🤷🏽♀️
@@ChrissyAnn85 sad maybe but I've seen a whole lot worse than good, I'm not saying if the right man came along I wouldn't be open to it as I have dated good men but they were not where I was at that stage of life ,many women are willing to kiss as many frogs as it takes to get to that elusive prince...all that bringing men into kids lives is not good, date away from the kids and if someone is worth bringing around the kids then do so only then. Most men are not looking for women with kids to wife but there's this assumption that somehow we are desperate and will settle for any joker...no...let a man earn the right to be around your most treasured asset and that's your babies.
I completely agree. I don’t have any kids & even I am cautious about who I let into my live. I watch enough true crime to know you can’t trust every guy you meet. A lot of them are dangerous.
I truly feel for this young lady. This was so horrible. God bless her and her family. I'm so glad she is able to help bring justice for her mom and brother. They didn't deserve that.
I'm so sorry for your loss Alexis. I pray that you feel no guilt. You saved yourself & your baby sister. You are a hero. There was literally nothing you could've done to prevent this. You hold your head up high.🙏🏼🕊️💖💞💞
I wish I could be your friend 💛 the whole world isn’t evil, I pray you get tons of love and happiness through your life! I’m sorry you went through this!!!!! God Bless you strong women
The PTSD will never go away. I dont like to sleep alone and I sleep with the lights on. I wake up terrified that someone has gained entry to my house while I'm asleep. Honestly, It doesn't get better, it just becomes manageable.
I saw a video of her a year ago when she still had stitches in her head. She looks so much happier, she's fighting. She's so beautiful! I pray she finds herself and has a bright future ahead of her.
So happy she's doing better and is being a strong person, that's what her family would've wanted. The mothers bf looks like a damn elf, don't worry girl, he will get what he deserves in prison.
Awe, God bless you sweetheart! Thank you for being so strong for both your Mom and your brother! That coward has absolutely no power over you anymore! Your strength is rewarding and trust me, you will get even stronger as time passes. Let the wonderful memories of your loved ones bring such warmth to your heart. My condolences to you and your baby sister. I am praying for you and her.
Alexis, I felt every emotion you had when I watched your interview, and my heart broke for you 😪 You're one heck of a strong young lady, and I wish the best for you in your life, as you truly deserve the world sweetheart 💞
SHE IS A DEFINITION OF A SURVIVAL 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 May God almighty continue to strengthen her and make her traumatized soul not to be broken by what she went through the night she lost her brother and mother ❤️
Im praying for you beautiful young lady that. God is with you that he keeps you strong when you start to feel weak through your court trial, put that monster away for life for your brother, and mother may they both rest in peace.
Cannot imagine the pain Alexis is enduring. I wish nothing but blessings for Alexis from this moment on out. Nobody deserves to live through something like this. God bless her.
I'm so happy she still has her father! I have no doubt she will get only stronger from this unfortunate situation. I know she won't see this, but take it one day at a time, pray, and let God take the wheel. All the best on recovery. ❤🙏🇨🇦
That's why for females with children.....if things dont work out with your ex husband or baby daddy, please stay single or date, but keep these men away from your house and kids!!!
Terrible advice. Not all step fathers or boyfriends are this bad. My (step) Dad is great I’m glad my mom married him. I’m closer to his family than my fathers family.
@@genj1184 it’s actually not a rarity. Lol “her own selfish needs”. Smh wake up the world isn’t all morbid. I guess my entire family is just rare. 🤷🏽♀️ My family in general embraces each other. lol have uncles and aunts who’ve remarried and have included their extra kids as their own. In fact ex spouses travel with each other with their new spouses to our family reunions. Our motto is once you’re family you’re always family. We just had dignity and respect for each other. So my mom just picked the right person. He was also her college sweetheart. They dated way before I was even a thought. They parted ways because she ended up transferring to a different school. 16yrs later they reconnected. I shouldn’t have to give my parents whole background to explain that there are some good people out there you just have to have discernment. 🤷🏽♀️
@@Jaded42O what are the stats since personal experiences (which statistics are based off btw) don’t matter? Is it the stats or are people just dumb for not considering people’s backgrounds when getting with them. Sorry it seems like you all had a sh!ty upbringing. 🤷🏽♀️
Alexis Taylor, may God continue to strengthen you each day of your life. You have gone through a terrible situation. I pray that God will grant you Grace and comfort in this time. God bless you for being strong for you and your family.🙏🏽🙏🏽
She is truly a remarkable young lady with alot of ambition to be great in every aspect of her life. She has literally took that pain to be great. I love it. Undefeated by that monster who called his self a man.
This young woman is Biracial, struggle, strife and one black parent does not a black queen, make. She can even be Your queen (& may she be blessed, hereafter)... But she is not black
She’s so strong, beautiful & resilient!! God bless you, sweetheart. I wish I could adopt her as my baby sister - I live in AZ too 🌵 You’ve got this, babygirl! We’re all supporting you, princess 👑 You’re a warrior & your strength is beyond measure 🙏🏻 Let that personality of yours shine babygirl & take ALL the time you need to grieve. ♥️ 🕊 God bless, beautiful soul.
She will live with her trauma and trauma can manifest to physical disease. She needs to do meditation, prayer and reiki healing due to her panic attack and anxiety. These factors are bad for the body's nervous system. Poor girl. I hope she and pray that she heals. How can anyone be so cruel and violent especially to a child, people that do this have no empathy and are absent of love. So sad....
@@Get2KnowJesus1 I have prayed to God, but even Jesus in the bible mentioned meditation, there are verses that mention this, we need to sit alone in silence and look from within, we need to be the center of the storm in the chaos that surrounds us or else the storm will consume and destroy us because we allow it to. We cannot stop the evil that surrounds us, but we need to use spiritual instruction given to us to counteract our traumas.
By looking at the comments not one black man who gave in level of comfort on this topic. Black men hold yourself accountable because this shit is happening to much. Tired of hearing the bm keeping the kids away. See what happens when you leave home to do you!
