The Horror House-Senne 

This is so heart wrenching. She never had a minute of peace, no safe space, no guardian, just predators.

Her voice might be soft and demure, but this girl is a straight up warrior. Amazing resilience and strength to endure what she has. She’s beautiful inside and out and I hope she’s treating herself so kindly in this second part of her life. She is so worthy 🦋

People who weren’t abused don’t understand how it permeates your life, your relationships, your choice in partners and mistrust affecting how many friends you make. It makes your world really small. I wish you all the best. Keep fighting the good fight.

When you close your eyes and listen, you can hear a very fragile, vulnerable and innocent child who remains within this brave lady , feeling everything like it happened yesterday. God bless her.

Her listing off the family members that assaulted her made me…. Nauseous. I’m gonna end up being a crazy mom, literally never leaving my kid alone because of stories like these omg.

Looking back at high school in the 80’s, I ache now for the kids who we considered “weird” or different somehow. Now I know that some of them had miserable, abusive home lives. We never could have imagined what they were going through then. I wish healing and peace for Senne. 🙏

Most important thing I learned from “soft white underbelly” is that everyone has a story and each is interesting and you will learn something. Thanks for opening my mind to this point of view.

This is so deep. She was physically and sexually abused badly for 11 years. But for 7 years her mom emotionally abused her. And that 7 years outweighed the 11 years. She barely cried until she talked about her mom. Wow. 🤯

It doesn’t matter how young she was, her body remembers. The body holds the trauma.

This girl looks younger than my daughter.. all I want to do is protect her. She has been let down her whole life. Some people don’t deserve children.

For some reason when I saw the thumbnail and title, I thought she was going to be discussing her job as a haunted house actor.

I totally understand what she’s saying at the 1 hour mark. My therapists and family keep telling me moving won’t help as much as I think, but I’m so tired of being constantly triggered by my surroundings. I’m so proud of her for getting far away from her family. She is truly a beacon of strength

She said her mother left her with family because she didn't trust strangers yet the family turned out to be worse. She would've been better off with a (normal) babysitter. What a warped family! I hope this girl can find some sort of healing and peace from all the horrific trauma.

I know people are saying just spit it out but for some people they're reliving the trauma all over in there head and they struggle to articulate.

My dad remembers when he was 2 and he was separated from his brother in foster care..my dad is 62 and remembers that vividly 😢 I'm just glad he met my mom and made the family he always wanted

telling your baby girl to stop talking about it is absolutely heartbreaking. I hope you have all the love that you deserve now. i’m rooting for you girlie

So the moral of the story is: don’t leave your kids alone with anyone EVER.

I'm a retired therapist and she presents as the most intelligent and resilient person I have ever seen to have been through more hell than most people will face in a lifetime. All her relatives, especially the mother, don't have a clue as to how much damage they have caused her. Her family is a lost cause and she should never trust them. She is a beautiful precious young woman who has overcome so much! Please don't kill your beautiful life! If family aren't for you walk away. You don't know your own strength until you stand on your own strength! Bless her heart! She has affected me so strongly and just keep putting one foot in front of the other! God bless you 🙏

Senne's story is a testament to the human spirit. To go through so much negativity, so much pain, so much abuse, yet come out on the other side wanting to live, wanting to contribute, wanting to make things better is inspirational. I wish her all the best.

Senne went through all of that horrendous abuse, and she still wants to give. Senne, you are a sweetheart. ❤

The silence between her words is the most silent silence, I 've ever heard... Horrible, to have to live through all of this. I'm so glad, she is so incredibly strong to be here and talk about this.

This is one of the hardest interviews to sit through. The human race is so vile, abusive, and depraved, and it honestly makes me wonder how there is any good that happens in this world. Abuse of animals and children should result in corporal punishment. I pray that you continue to be resilient and focused on healing from your trauma, Senne.

You can tell she's in therapy. She's making sense of what's wrong and right. I'm so happy she's talking about it. It's the only way to heal. What a sweet soul whose lived 30 lives before I was even born and I'm 44. Bravo for graduating college too. I love this girl.

These are the kids I worried about during Covid lockdowns. Stuck at home with the worst of humans.

My god this girls voice cuts into my soul. She sounds so fragile but her words are indestructible

Everything that happened to you was not your fault or your brothers. Your parents should be in prison for what they put you through.Anyone that touched you as a child should be punished. You're a beautiful young woman, and I am so proud of you for telling your story. I'm so sorry for all you have been through. I wish you the best in life. God bless you.🦋

her voice is like a little girls so much pain and vulnerability, so much trauma in her family. she has so much potential and has a sweet heart. i pray for her to have her best life

I have never wanted to hug someone more than Senne. I am pray that you have the best that life can offer in Hawaii. Keep speaking your truth

You hear one thing she says and you think “it can’t get worst”….. yet it does. I wish this young woman nothing but the best and a future filled with endless brightness.

remember; horrible horrible people walk among us. they are your friends, your coworkers and your relatives.

This is not fair, her story broke my heart. Her voice so delicate and her trembling so innocent but so damaged that she did not choose. I hope she thrives and breaks her tragedy. She is so beautiful and brave and courageous. Thank you for letting her tell her story. I hope she felt any amount of relief and simply just cared about. I care.

Thank you for being patient with her and allowing her to tell her story. My heart goes out to her. It takes so much courage to share something so personal and traumatic. And her level of self awareness tells me that there is so much hope of her being able to continue to heal and work through all the traumas and create a much better life for herself as an adult than the one that was forced on her as a child. I believe in you, Senne!

Senne - I grew up with an abusive Asian mother and I agree with you that the mental abuse is worse than the rest. It feels like your real brain has been hijacked by the rewiring that occurred before you even knew it was happening. I understand, and I’m so so sorry you’re living with this. Please read or listen to “What My Bones Know” by Stephanie Foo if you haven’t yet. I’m still struggling, but it did help. I love you sister, and I really wish you the best in your quest to recover your real self back from your personal tyrant. Please remember: don’t let people tell you there’s nothing wrong with you. There is, but it really and truly is not your fault.

So powerful to hear her say that the mental abuse was worse than the physical abuse. My heart goes out to this young lady because I know her pain. I had to stuff my feelings down for my mentally abusive/narcissistic mother, and it still affects me to this day.

My story is very similar to your story. I wasade a 5150 when I was 30 yrs old from a suicide attempt. I wrote a poem when I was 16 called Only when I cry. It goes- I look at life without feelings, time just passing by. Life is like an untold story with my feelings stuffed inside. I cant express my feelings, I don't know why I even try. The only time someone listens to me is only when I cry. Is life really worth living, most days I want to die. The only time I have reason to live is only when I cry. I was hospitalized 4 times. In my 40s I dated a narcissist and my life got so much worse. To include being choked unconscious, body slammed on the floor etc. The police had to kick my door in to arrest him. Guns drawn and police dogs. But in that time I finally learned how to love myself. Now I'm 52 and finally have peace in my life and 2 small dogs that I love dearly. Thank you for sharing your story ❤

I'm the same age as you Senne, and also grew up in an Asian household. It's strange growing up and realizing how toxic your parents were (and in some cases still are), when our culture teaches us to respect them despite how they treat us. I'm also still learning to deal with the mental trauma my mom inflicted on me. I too am learning to rewire my brain as an adult. I'm learning to feel proud of myself, to let myself feel emotions and to cope with them healthily, to love myself, etc. I hope you are doing well each day. You deserve so much love and happiness.

I know this isn’t realistic but I wish there was a test to confirm parents were fit to bring a child into the world and could do regular check ins for the first few years to confirm health, safety and proper housing. Maybe even continued parenting classes. Wishful thinking. 😢 thank you for having the courage to share Senne.

Dear Father in heaven, this sweet soul didn’t deserve any of this trauma, may she heal.

As someone born and raised in Hawai'i. Her able to make it through so much trama, she'd really fit in with alot of the great locals of the islands. There's alot of people that would bring her in as family and treat her with the respect she deserves. Much love and aloha to this brave young lady ❤️

She’s adorable, she deserves some good fortune and happiness … she’ll be a great teacher!

She's like a broken bird, but the bird is an eagle, there is strength and resilience despite the broken wings. I wish nothing but happiness and goodness for the rest of her life❤

She is such a sweet and beautiful person. I feel so sorry. I am 70 years old and went through a very dramatic childhood. I just want to tell her: never ever give up! You are a sweetheart and you don’t deserve what they did to you. I would never ever have told everything so free as you did. You are very brave! Sending love to you from far away!

She has such a soft and beautiful voice. I’m glad she is able to use her voice to share her story. I wish her the best.

I worked with the Department of Children & Families for years. Some of the stories are absolutely horrific. Yet, I was always continuously impressed with the resiliency and strength children showed. And it was so beautiful when they finally experienced someone who cared about them and you saw them thrive.

As a social worker I really appreciate these videos. This is the kind of trauma I hear everyday from my clients. Trauma affects almost everyone in this world. My heart goes out to every child who has experienced a traumatic event. I hope the girl in the video, and any child who has experienced such hell on this earth thrives as an adult and is able to heal and not continue the cycle. No child deserves this! ☹️

This poor girl is deeply struggling and so overwhelmed 😢 ❤

What a sick family .They all need to be arrested

I’m in actual tears. Her explaining the abuse from her dad brings me so many flashbacks.

She has done well to stay sober having suffered so much trauma. I hope she finds love and prosperity ❤. Thanks Mark.

Having the fortitude to tell your story to the entire world is something to be admired. This girl is a warrior.

Thank you Mark! These interviews are very healing for me and would like to hear more. Being Asian, I understand her trauma and have also rejected my ethnic background completely. Thank you for letting her speak at her pace. A lot of us have a hard time verbalizing because we were taught not to feel. I am very proud of Senne and wish the best for her!

Senne, if this interview brings you anything, let it bring you the awareness that you are loved, that you are valued, and that you are not alone in the suffering. Thank you for sharing your story, and may you find peace in your heart someday. I know it doesn’t come easy. Please don’t give up.❤

When I look at this girl I saw a warrior on the outside and a hurting child on the inside. Her timid voice, studdered and hesitant speaking, almost like she's still scared. I can't imagine her childhood. But to see she's turned out to be a beautiful, strong, resilient woman, so proud of her! She deserves all the happiness this life has to offer. ❤

I really hope you're taking precautions before, during and after these interviews. I'm serious. Don't leave someone like this, a survivor of the most horrific of human behavior.... to walk out of your care feeling as if they are exactly 8 years old again... All the time you take through this interview... I pray that you are taking time after to empower, embrace, heal and support 🙏🏼

The way you make your guests feel safe to talk and don't force them to stay on traumatic topics if they feel uncomfortable, is heartwarming.

A few words to describe this young woman. Resilant, strong, warrior, beautiful, hopful, scarred, encouraging, heartbroken, courageous. Sending positive vibes to you and hugs from Brooklyn, NY

Kudos to Mark for giving her the time she wanted and needed. She had intent and wasn't going to be rushed along. This woman has been through a lot, and what comes out the other side of it will be amazing.

Thank you Senne for telling your story. I love how you lit up at the end talking about the children you're helping. You have found your calling and have the experiences to help better understand these kids. Thank you Thank you for helping others!

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with you!! You are so strong and a survivor!! You’re amazing!!

I have never wanted to reach thru a screen and hug someone so much. I cried thru this whole video. I’m so sorry u went thru all this and I’m proud of u for being so strong 💜

Yes it’s possible to remember something in that age … I was 2,5 years old when my mom left me forever with a bunch of dolls to play… that moment when I realized that I was alone … I am 52 today … i remember everything in that room, everything 😢😢😢

Dismissing her memories from when she was that young is wild. My very first memory is from when I was about 8 months old. I didn’t walk yet. It wasn’t an abusive memory, but I did have a traumatic childhood so maybe kids that went through severe trauma have that ability to go way back. As someone said, the body remembers.

My bio mother disappeared when I was a little under two, and I have many memories of her. People my whole life told me I was probably just using my imagination and thinking it was real but when I finally met her again as an adult I asked her and each one she confirmed was a memory, good and bad. I also remember when she disappeared, I remember the fear and the pain I felt then and for years. I remember her showing me a map while sitting on her lap and her showing me where I was and where she was going (other side of the country) and I remember crying, and her telling me it wouldn’t be for a long long time and not to worry… she was gone the next morning. So yeah, trauma DOES sear memories into your head, even at 1-2 years old. Anyone saying it’s impossible should be grateful they didn’t have a trauma at that young of an age. It affects you your entire life.

This is not even questionably the most gut wrenching videos I have EVER seen in my life. I’m 32 years old and I have seen a lot. Thank god my mother was annoyingly over protective and protected me from any harm as much as she could.. I couldn’t imagine being alive living and being able to tell this story to a stranger yet alone the world.. I hope she is okay and thrives in her life. Truly a warrior. ❤️❤️❤️

There was violence in my home as an infant. My brother (age12) would put me under a small table and hang blankets all around. I remember looking up at the bottom of that table and seeing the brackets on the legs underneath. I was removed at 18 months, so I know these memories are that early. By brother was my champion and protector.

Despite the brutality and abuse and neglect, she grew up with, she’s grown to to be a lovely and sweet young woman. ❤

Such a gentle timid soul my heart goes out to her

My heart literally breaks for her. I think I cried every time she did. It’s so unfair what she went through. I’m angry for her; she deserved so much better. I want her to heal, feel loved and be happy. I pray for these things for her.

Brave young woman. Senne you did not deserve so much harm, your strength is incredible. Surrounding you with love. ❤️

Senne is so so brave. She deserves all the happiness in the world. Thank you for being so respectful when interviewing her. Your style of interview is incredibly unique and makes for vulnerable people to feel comfortable to open up.

Senne's resilience is incredible. I hope she knows how many are rooting for her to continue and thrive in her healing journey. To go through all of that and to clearly still be so kind is a testament to her strength.

There's a light that shines in this woman...they didn't break her Soul,I've no clue how but they didn't xxx

I’m sitting here crying .. My heart is breaking for this woman. Protect your children 😢

People are brave enough to share harrowing experiences that may help other victims, and people in the comments are "her voice..I cant..spit it out" etc. This attitude is why abuse still exists. People only want to listen or take her seriously if she presents in a way they approve of. Idiots

The context of her explaining her culture and where she’s from notates that she’s Hmong. Unfortunately, there are some concepts of our culture that we are still struggling with. Whether it’s generational trauma from the War into immigrating into our country, there is no excuse for sexual abuse. Finally, these things in our culture are being spoken about. Go you Senne, thank you being strong and being able to speak to on behalf of your own ability. Txoj quaj os mos, peb hmoob tseem hlub koj os.

the strength shown by senne is humbling. through adversity such strength but retaining her kindness. i wish you all the best in this world. thank you for your story and thank you for the work you do now

I hope the right person see’s this and guides Senne into a counseling role. She is amazing and could help so many others out including herself. What a beautiful person…

Very endearing woman, sweetheart. Takes a lot of bravery to share her story. You deserved better. I hope you find peace, stability and support from people who truly care about you. ❤

This young woman is so brave and so full of grit as she learns how to recover and move forward. Never give up!

Her experience living with her mother is exactly what I went through as a kid. Outside my siblings, I’ve never heard someone tell this similar of a trauma story. She only skims the surface of what was going on, which tells me she’s still really struggling, but the pain in her voice, describing being forced to cope with other people’s dysfunctions, and discovering later on the true gravity of those experiences. It’s so relatable. I don’t think people understand how truly horrible and maddening it actually is. It’s relentless, you can’t escape, and it becomes the only thing you know, you’re no longer like other people. Even her health problems are related to the stress/neglect (I have similar issues that’ve improved with therapy and retraining my nervous system). In the end you’re left alienated and dysfunctional yourself, especially because we’re talking about the 90’s and early 2000’s, when no one understood or cared about this kind of thing. Unlike her though, I became violent in my teens and fought back, so I feel for her not finding her voice earlier, but in a way it’s better, because fighting back involves things you don’t want to have to face later. It’s a hopeless situation to be in at the time regardless, but there’s lines you don’t come back from, I’m glad she was spared that. She has a long road ahead on her recovery journey and I wish her the best.

How can she be so sweet after everything that she has been through? I went through some of this but not even close to the hell she has endured. I am so jaded and guarded. Bless her heart!!! 💞

After hearing these type of stories, I appreciate my parents more every day. I’ve never experienced sexual abuse & had a good childhood. I cannot comprehend these things happening to children. God bless Senne. 🙏

As a person diagnosed with PTSD and bpd, among other diagnosis, I feel almost unworthy of my mental health challenges after watching this interview. I have had quite a rough life, but my childhood was rainbows and unicorns different than Senne. If you do read this, Senne, I want you to know that you are valid. the things done to you are not your fault. You are also worthy of love and healing. Please stay strong.

OMG Senne , The light of your soul shines extremely bright, you are way stronger person than you will ever realise. Your story is such an inspiration to each and every one of us. i am soo happy to hear you are finding some recovery from your trauma. you come across as such a kind soul....... God Bless you and i wish you all the happiness the world has to offer x

My mothers' heart is completely broken for you. I want to scream and rage hearing your story. No child should ever know abuse. what you endured is an annihilation of the spirit. What you went through as a a child is beyond criminal. I just want to embrace your heart and give you so much love. My daughter is my life. Every moment of her life from birth was spent trying to protect her from the abuse I experienced. She is 19 now and ended up being abused by a friend when she was 13. It still haunts her. I cannot imagine the demons you have had to slay to feel even remotely safe. I am praying that your life ahead be filled with an abundance of love, health, and prosperity. Know that so many here are praying for you. ❤❤❤

Remember this is not your fault, Senne. I wish you all the strength, peace and calmness to find your own way in your life.

This young lady is amazing, the things she has been through and is still standing. Bravo warrior!

My kids and i struggled but we were never lacking in love. How can people be so cruel.

The fact that she found a way out after all these terrible experiences is a testament to how strong she is. and how ironic that she sabotages herself by feeling powerless. The healing process takes time🌸 I hope she continues to be a light for herself and those around her.

The children she works with must be so fortunate to have somebody patient, protective, and clearly empathetic. Thank you for sharing your story of resiliency ❤️

Her demeanor and the way that she talks is so innocent and beautiful. I really believe her life is only going to get better from here on. She seems like such a beautiful soul - she will be able to help a lot of people with her story. This interview's gonna stick with me for a while. Best of luck Senne! You are truly an inspiration. ☺☺

My stomach started to hurt early in the video. I will have to come back to this later, and watch in stages. The level of abuse radiates from this exquisite young woman's eyes and posture, and I feel heart-wrenched in advance. She needs someone to be there for her who deserves her trust and won't betray it. I so hope she finds that. She needs the right life-long hand to hold.

The level of sexual abuse and neglect in her extended family is astounding. I am glad she is able to talk about it and process it. I wonder how many of her cousins did not turn out so well.

I just want to wrap my arms around this young girl and tell her how much she’s loved.

What an eloquently told story, so difficult to tell. Thanks Senne for sharing this - you are an amazingly strong woman and I'm so glad you have found the self compassion you deserve. They will be lucky kids to have you having their back. Any experience can be used for positive - you will have so much to offer due to your own experiences

I'm pretty sure her family is Hmong. There are huge social issues in that community with child marriage, abduction, forced marriages, etc. it's horrible. I hope she continues to heal.

I can't get over this lady's story and horrific life experiences. No one should have to go through this. Im lost for words...... I'm in awe at her courage, resilience and maturity and sincerely wish her all the best with the fresh start and the journey of healing she has embarked on. She deserves inner peace and joy in her life.

This was a hard video to get through because I have a very similar life story. I moved to the netherlands instead of hawaii though lol. Senne if you're reading this I have so much empathy and love for you, you're not alone in your feelings or experiences at all. Thank you for doing this interview, I'm still trying to recover and it's helpful for me to see someone that I can relate to.

I am amazed that this beautiful (inside and out) young woman turned out so articulate and so strong and brave to share her story! She has endured enough abuse for several life times. I hope the rest of her life is comfortable, safe and full of abundance and love.

Wow. I feel her. She’s so beautiful. I hope she lives out the rest of her life happily. She deserves it.
