Her mother is definitely is a criminal. There’s been cases where the mother have been charged with child endangerment for failing to act after knowledge of the abuse & rightfully so. Children deserve to be loved & protected. It’s horrible that so many have their innocence robbed from them at such a young age. 😢

I was raised by a very violent mother and it's a surreal experience to look at your mother and see a criminal sitting there eating her dinner, holding a conversation with someone, or gardening. My mother also would say that God has forgiven and forgotten "if" she has done anything wrong.

Gisele, I'm sorry that your mom didn't honor her role in your life. You're incredibly astute, well-spoken, and valid. You are miles ahead of many people with similar backgrounds because you've called out the wrongs and are determined to do better. You will stop the pattern of abuse and be fiercely protective of any future kids you might have. You're determined and resilient (in all things, there are better days and rougher days). You didn't ask for the abuse. Let those doubts go. Be well. ❤️

Dear Giselle, I honestly feel like I’m hearing a splitting image of my life. I’m a male from Chicago that joined the navy as a hospital corpsman and felt like the whole time of my childhood I lived with a mother that was mentally and emotionally abusive to me. Idk if you read the comments but stories like this reminds me of reasons to take care of myself. I cope with my stress by going to the gym and spending time with my people but this story was so inspiring and made me sad but happy it’s people out here that are experiencing things I’m experiencing but also let’s me know to stay positive and keep going. I’m done rambling but this video was so inspiring

Yes, it was very interesting to me to hear her reasoning for going into the navy. I have never heard that sentiment before, I have never served in the military myself, but it made so much sense and answered a lot of questions for why others may share her experience. That part, with her childhood, definitely was interesting part of this interview. I wish you well moving forward and thank you for all you have done. Words sometimes don't seem to be enough.

What a fantastic human being. I grew up in a really loving 2 parent family with a wonderful sister also and all have been supportive my whole life and even with all that nuturing and stability as a foundation I've STILL found adulthood a real challenge and battled depression a lot of the time. How she could go through all she's been through as a child with all this abuse from the people that are supposed to love and keep you safe and come out of that to be such a positive, productive and highly empathetic adult is truly incredible to me. This was an inspirational video in many ways not just a heart breaking one.

@@adyo92 I don't live in America, I've never even been. I still don't really understand your angle with me. I said I had a stable family life growing up, I didn't say anything about our financial situation but now you seem to have assumed I come from a wealthy family. I don't. But even if I did I don't agree with your point at all, the too poor for navel gazing and therefore no depression doesn't square at all with reality. Because there are rampant drug abuse issues in 3rd world and developing countries and also people taking their own lives. Teenagers on yabba in Thailand or street kids sniffing glue in Venezuela doesn't speak to me of places magically devoid of depressed people. Coco Lee just commited suicide here in Hong Kong a few weeks back. On paper she had it all - certainly financially she did - but she'd been battling depression for a long time before taking her own life. Depression seems to have a strong genetic component (certainly in our family it does, my grandfather was a manual worker who worked all his life in a very physically demanding job but he ended up getting electro shock therapy in what was then called the loony bin) Anyway I'm not going to argue with you about this as I think there's no point. Believe what you like.

Having endured similar abuse as a child, I learned to forgive at the ripe old age of 30. I learned to protect myself. I became prone to violence. I was always engaging in relief drinking and drugging. I went to prison twice. I finally sobered up and applied spiritual concepts to my life. Here I now sit as a dying man whose wasted years haunt me. The stress of my past has taken its toll. But I stand firm in the truth of the matter is now I'm responsible to myself and the world around me to stay sober and react to life in a way that is socially acceptable. Good job girl!

Childhood trauma is what a lot of skid row residents have in common, It's a huge part of why I ended up down there. That's what 6yrs in a Catholic school in the late 70s early 80's can do to a kid. It was only when I understood that the "abuse"didn't control me,it was me controlling me,I could never change what happened,just learn and educate others about it. Counselling is a must,and learning to not be a victim,but a survivor is essential.

Thanks, Giselle. I truly empathize. My experience is similar except my Dad (thankfully) was not around at all and I actually filed charges 20 years later. The abuse was 30 years ago for me and my mom is still married to him (despite being convicted) and the hardest part today is dealing with the loss of the image of the mother I so badly wanted and needed her to be. Is crazy as it sounds I'm grateful that I somehow found comfort in my own misery vs trying to run, hide, numb the feelings with drugs/alcohol. As dysfunctional and distressing as my childhood was, I learned to be self aware and play everything safe. That's probably why I've stayed out of trouble. Sounds like we have that in common as well. Although, it does have some pitfalls, that survival instinct has probably kept me alive and on track for this long. Best of luck to you, sweet girl. ❤

Gisele's story really resonated with me and I'm thankful she's shared it with us. I had similar experiences but it was my father. Gisele has incredible self-awareness for someone of her age. I'm glad she's made the strong choice to be NC with her mom. One thing that stood out to me is that she seems to acknowledge that her mother basically abandoned her, but she hasn't fully acknowledged her mother's role as participant in her abuse. The mother wound hits different. I hope she continues to stay in therapy and that she and her sister can support each other. I am over 10 years NC and it's one of the best things I've done for my life, but I've had so many moments of self-doubt.. I wish Gisele much strength and clarity as she continues to peel the onion. 💪♥

Giselle, thank you for your interview and for being so open. I think your speaking out about your childhood will help many others who have experienced similar situations. Your strength and self awareness is truly remarkable. Others have mentioned this in the comments as well and I fully agree that you are a bright light in the darkness. Your spirit is very strong and you are a survivor. I pray that you fully heal from the scars you carry and that you have nothing but love, happiness and good health from this point forward. Keep shining that light! 💖 🙏

As a therapist I know how strong these self doubts are and sometimes it is really heartbreaking when there are these beautiful smart and wonderful people sitting in your therapy still having to face all this shit that their parents or other people they trusted did to them. But change is always possible. It is hard and a lot of work but it is worth it.
