Other people's opinion of you are none of your business. Just open your mouth, say something, do something, you know, even if you know it's going to be drastic, and it's for the good.
Angie Baker's story is one of unimaginable pain and remarkable resilience. Growing up in Lexington, Kentucky, Angie endured horrific sexual abuse at the hands of her uncle from the tender age of 2 to 11. Her mother, who witnessed these assaults, chose silence over protection, adding layers of emotional and physical abuse to Angie's already heavy burden. As a teenager, Angie turned to promiscuity and substance abuse, believing she was beyond redemption.
Her boyfriend forced her into an abortion, further deepening her trauma. In this heartfelt episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Angie opens up about her tumultuous journey and the steps she took towards healing. She discusses confronting her family in her 20s and the misdiagnosis that led to two years of incorrect treatment for schizophrenia. It took 11 attempts to find the right doctor who finally diagnosed her with PTSD in her late 20s.
Angie shares how cutting off contact with her parents initially and then re-establishing boundaries later helped her find peace. Therapy, support groups, and a strong support system played crucial roles in her recovery. Angie emphasizes the importance of education in preventing child abuse and urges survivors to speak out, no matter how drastic it may seem. Her powerful message is clear: healing is possible, and silence must be broken.
Tune in to hear Angie's compelling story and learn about the transformative power of resilience and advocacy.
