Dehumanisation

Unwanted and homeless from day one: Social services found Jennie a new home. Tragically she was enslaved into a brutal regime of horrific abuse, extreme neglect, loss and degrading humiliation with foster parents.

 

It continued behind closed doors in a seemingly well-respected household for twenty-three years. The foster family trafficked her to other sickening perpetrators of organised abuse rings. The death of both foster parents did not stop the hideous abuse, which continued for decades as they hunted down Jennie and her son despite moving thirty-six times.

 

Jennie developed DID Dissociative Identity Disorder to survive after suffering such severe trauma.

 

All Jennie knew was shocking betrayal – including what she discovered from her social service records years later.

 

How she and her son survived is unfathomable, but Jennie’s remarkable resilience shines through as she refuses to give up.

 

 “The Stabards were excused from the previous allegation of abusing children in their care.”

“Noted that Faith and Jennie are possibly being sexually abused by the Stabards. If we were to investigate this, our problem would be, who would care for these misfits in society.”

“It is in the best interest to stay where they are as it is regarded they will not have any long-term problems as to the result of the abuse.”

“These Children are lucky to be placed in a home setting with experienced foster carers.”

THE INVISIBLE GIRL

You can read my full story here, from when I was ten years old and what happened to me. I was admitted to a psychiatric unit at fifteen and continued to suffer throughout my adult life with feelings of self-hatred, fear, darkness and not knowing who I was. I used addictions to help me to cope on the outside when the inside was chaotic. I finally found my healing and had a burning desire to share this with the universe to give love, hope and inspiration to others in pain.

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass
