Beautiful story. My eyes were filled with tears. A must listen.
Love hearing everyone’s stories! Recently it’s gotten too political. Go back to the original version without the host commentary for best results.
Some of the stories are interesting and I think the host is nice guy which I appreciate but I can’t stand some of his questions and how he tries to relate/compare things to something he has experienced that is sometimes so far off it’s offensive. Just let the person tell their story and have compassion.
My main question is, why didn’t Victoria seek charges or a confrontation with Uncle Robert? She’s expecting law enforcement or CPS to get her Dad, but what about HER abuser? Makes no sense.
Thank you for sharing all kinds of stories. As a woman I appreciate (and hate) the SA stories and hearing from other women. Love you guys xxx
