Never cried so hard over a video

I'm a BIG baby and cry all the time!

I couldn't finish watching it.

very moving video It is hard to understand unless you've been there cause the pain never goes away not even when the parent dies

Very true Vivian

Heart wrenching

You took the words out of my mouth, Debbie.

I agree.. very very sad and heartbreaking!

Oh my that was very sad!! Had me in tears.

It's heartbreaking in a way I can't describe

Oh my...I am sitting hear crying also....It just makes me want to reach out and give her a big hug..Thanks for sharing....

i cannot watch, just the flat pic is sad enough, too sad for words

The tears are there...I understand her anger and fury. It is impossible to forget. To forgive is unimaginable. Yes, we are survivors. and yes, it stays with us for ever...My heart goes out to Brianna...and to all who have suffered.

You said it best...

It is impossible to forget. To forgive is unimaginable.

sad, very sad

and why is it that the system seems to take kids away from homes that don't need to be taken away and leave alone the children that really need to be removed?

Best I can come up with is our system is screwed up.

I thank God I have had to go thru any thing like that. My heart goes out to her 

I am glad you didn't either

Yuck!  I can't stand this stuff.  I love you.  I get so upset.  I think this is the one thing we left and right agree on beside animal abuse.  {{{Hugs}}}

I think so too Carol

This is very moving Renee.  But this was also done beautifully and anyone who has been there can very much relate.  I am not a victim of child abuse but a victim and a survivor all the same.   There is never any excuse for any kind of abuse, child, domestic, rape etc.   We have to stop hurting one another.  Thanks for sharing.

She did do a beautiful job.  She said so much in this video and did so well at it.  I am so glad she commented to me and asked me to watch it, even though it was so hard to watch.

I just cannot watch all of this............I cannot....it's too, too upsetting.

beautifully done,yet soooo sad!

Thank God I never had to go through this sort of abuse or any abuse from my two Parents.  My heart bleeds for those who suffer in this manner each and every day.

I am so sorry.

I am so glad you didn't either Esther

I really can't watch this kind of thing. Abuse of any kind is just too much for me to bear.

Even though I was never "physically" abused. The taunts and name calling of my youth still brand me to this day.

By kids? Ever stop to think why those kids did it? While there is no excuse maybe they was one of us survivors? They learned from their parents?

thank god this never happened to me

Yes thank God

The words, the music, the pictures, the drawings all maker her point so well.  I couldn't not watch all of it.  It drew me in, I could feel her pain.  I will never be able to understand how especially a parent could do such a thing to their own child.  It's heartbreakingly painful to watch but necessary for people to understand.

Barbara even I as a survivor don't understand. I found myself asking over and over why James' bio or as I call her egg donor done what she did to him.  How can you not love that life you carried?  I don't only hurt for myself but him as well. 

It was very moving but also very inspirational.  Despite what she has been through this girl demonstrates that she is going to survive.

Don't she? She is a true survivor

Briana is an admirable, strong woman.  Survivors all need to realize that the abuse was NOT due to our unworthiness, but the actions of cruel people with no self-esteem.  Cowards and bullies, their only way to feel powerful is to take advantage of helpless children.  May God have mercy.

I cry these tears for all who had to survive this kind of abuse and those who are still in that situation. I tried hard to make a difference in some children's lives and found that the system truly is screwed up and I couldn't change it. It still breaks my heart that there were those I couldn't save. Peace

That is sad and heart breaking.

Though I was never abused, my heart goes out to those who have. This is a heart wrenching video, very well done. Thank you for sharing this Renee.

"Maybe one day when I am done crying, I can learn to love again."

That's a very powerful statement and so true. I think being a survivor myself. I married way to young and had a child because I was looking for love, which I did not find.

It said a lot in that statement that is for sure.

I can't watch this.  I will just take your word for it.

This is heartbreaking. Thanks for posting to Fugitives from Ignorance, Conformity, and Peer Pressure

Very sad.

ok, I reckon my computer is  as tired as i am, will comeback tommorrow and see if it will play for me then, as I cannot get it to play, I have had trouble all day today wtih my computer or Gathers new downgrade, sorry, I couldnt watch, but wil be back tommorrow tocheck it out, big hugs to you lady!!!!

It is a sad one but one all must watch

I couldn't bare to finish it.  I wish there was a magic switch we could flip to make it all go away.
