Jamie..thank you for telling your story. You helped me more than you will ever know. I'm 70 and have been through so much and finally I'm really grasping that what you are saying is so true. It's a blessing for me and I hope you sharing will be a blessing for you too. You know when Journey was alive I would watch yours and Leaders video and that beautiful little angel gave me a pep talk every day. I relate to animals much better than I do humans and it was like she was just tellingme that if she kept going so could I. That was why I asked for the picture of Journey. I am so very sorry that any of us have to experience violence. Its cruel and demeaning and frightening and aweful. For most of my life I have thought that what I have gone through was all my fault. That I was so flawed I deserved what ever I got. I couldn't understand why God even put me on this earth . And I know that's not true now. It never was. I come from a dysfunctional family that doesn't know what love and compassion are. And I can't hold that against any of them but I can pray for and love them from afar. Thank you dear young lady..you are strong and compassionate and generous and kind. An incredible, beautiful young lady for all of us to love

As I sat here and watched, there were several moments where your anxiety was clearly rising, and Dixie absolutely sensed it, stopped what she was doing, and connected with you...this is what I love about horses. Their situational awareness is what keeps them alive. It is also why they are useful in therapy. Thanks for sharing your story, Jamie. You are so fortunate to have a "Dixie" in your life. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎

You are truly living a purpose driven life and while living in your purpose God will allow you to utilize your talents and your gifts. My prayer for the lady who is currently in the abusive relationship who story you shared is that she is able to connect SAFELY with the support and help she may need to make a safe exit from the relationship. I will be praying for her daily. Love you all!

Oh my heart when Dixie realized you were crying. She loves you as much as you love her. You are much more than that “man”wanted you to be, you always were! God bless the lady at the Sprint store. There is a reason these animals are drawn to you, Jami. They know you are a survivor too! You are such a blessing to them and to us. The problem with trauma is that it creeps up on you at the most surprising time. If you’re anything like me, you get nervous when things go well because you are always expecting the other shoe to drop. There is never a wrong time to tell your story. Thank you for sharing and for showing us you are more amazing than we already thought ♥️.

I can relate to what you are saying. I’ve been abused in so many of my relationships and I always thought that was normal in relationships but once I got out of that relationship with everything I had in me. I finally got the courage to just get up and leave him with just the clothes on my back and nothing on my feet at all. I just drove to my moms house to try to forget what I was in this nasty relationship. I like that you shared this with us. I now have bipolar disorder and I was scared of any relationship. Today I’m in a different kind of relationship and I couldn’t be happier with my boyfriend he treats me with respect and takes great care of me along with his boys. He loves me for me not for anything else. He says it to me every day and more then once a day and calls me every few hours. You gave me the courage to tell my mom what has happened in my last relationship where this guy put some kind of drug into me for weeks. Come to find out he could of killed me. I love all theses videos you and Lester and LE and Jake and paw paw put out. Keep your head up. I’ll keep you in my prayers

Everytime someone shares their pain, someone else realizes it's okay to do the same. The more that's shared the more healing that's felt. It may take a lifetime, but this resonates with so many. Having the courage to rip the bandaids off, starts loosing the adhesive on another. You having the ability to say this on a platform was brave but also wise. It's uncanny how your phrase "we are all survivors of something " is the exact right thing to say. Thank you for your honesty and courage. We love you.

Jami, many of us survivors picked up on a few things over the years being with you. None of us were prepared for the whole truth, as it's always horrible. As one who has experienced different degrees of abuse, from different men in my life, I am always thankful for the survivors to be able to live to tell their own life events. With every sharing of a survival success, yes- surviving is a success- hopefully it encourages others to get away to become a survivor. My prayers are with those who haven't found their way out. It's hard for many reasons: money, children, lack of support of all kinds, and the verbal and/or physical abuse. Every person is worthy of a life without the abuser no matter what that abuser says! Jami thank you for your bravery and self worth then and now. Much love and respect to you! Yes, Dixie knows. She is very much in tune with you. As are many of the babies are!❤️💕💞💓💗💖💝💘💌 You always have been my Shero and even more now for your message.

This 74 year old woman listened to your story with tears pouring down my face for the girl I was and with sadness (and anger) that it happened to you. 40 years of therapy and sometimes Triggers come and bite me in the butt (pardon the old Roy Rogers reference)! But Dixie's crunching and munching was so soothing I realized ( as you shared) that there are many ways to "turn over" that pain. Animals ( I have 4 fish), talking, writing and my latest-drawing. And humor is the best of all! Bless you and all the babies for giving us plenty😁

I have always felt you had such a special and tender spirit, you are a survivor and it shows in the compassion you have not only with the animals but also with Lester. I read somewhere recently that that we need to unpack the pain/baggage we have been carrying around in order to leave it behind, Thank you for trusting us to share in you journey of healing.

This story could go on forever, and I don't talk about it much. You're a woman that has shared a heart break that will be able to help others. One day when you feel more comfortable I would love to see you reach out and talk about how people can get help to leave the situation. I admire you in so many ways. Animals are amazing when they try to comfort us when they realize we are hurting. Dixie is truly a God send for you. Take care.

For once in your life let it out! All of it! Cry until you're exhausted and tou couldn't cry another tear if you stubbed your baby toe. Cry out the anger, cry out the pain, cry out any frustration you might still be harboring. Cry unashamedly for yourself and cry for everyone who is hurting . because God gave us crying as a release so We can start to heal

When we share our stories, not only do we get healing by releasing and affirmation, but we soon find that we have the ability to empower others who have our are living with abuse.

He never asked me where it went. Now I am a bull moose for other women in the same situation you and I were in. They pound on my door and them and the kids can come in, and I have stood up to their husbands. I even stood up to an abusive cop. I won for me and I won for them.

We're really good at that. I didn't want it to be the way it was (abused and raped by my boyfriend) so I acted "as if all was perfect with me" to cope I guess. And there are angels among us.

Jami - I admire you so much, and after watching this video - I'm even more amazed and proud of you. As many have mentioned, I couldn't believe Dixie's reaction when the tone of your voice changed with sadness. She stopped eating so suddenly and looked at you and then walked up to you to check on how you were doing. It was beautiful each time she did it. The love and compassion she was showing you was so touching. She definitely has your back. It's a refection of you and your love for her. I wish you never had to go through such difficult and nightmarish events. Kudos to you

Wow thank you Jami for having the strength to open up and tell us your story! It has me in tears as I listen because I was also in a physically and mental abusive relationship for over 5 yrs and it has had a long lasting effect on my life. Hearing the raw emotion coming through your voice to me is healing in a way for me because I always felt alone. We all feel alone at times but we are never alone we women always have each other. Love y'all. And again thank you for sharing this part of your life with us.

My sweet friend, Jami...what a brave moment, and woman to woman, I have been in your shoes. Just know that the process IS WHAT IT IS! Never give yourself a hard time when going through the "process". It gets better, but there are days, triggers, that bring things up. Allow it...spend that day in that moment guilt free. Then, just like you already do each and every day, realize that your life now...ALL OF OUR LOVE FOR YOU...is what defines! Huge cyber hug from a Texan transplanted into Tennessee for that very reason. We are all survivors of something

Thats right Jamie, make sure its the last time. If someone is mean to you even just a little, get them out of your life ASAP. Too many people get away with that stuff. Shut them out, run away from them fast! Slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, Hop on the bus, Gus, Don't need to discuss much, Just get yourself free. You cant change them, evil will always be evil. Sociopaths are all over they're even in your family, double check make sure. Then shut them out.

You are a brave ass woman, I say that not thinking what you've been through, although that was hugely brave of you, it's you speaking about it. When we go through trauma, it's like we have no other choice but to go through it and deal with it, but talking about it and being open about it, it's your choice. You're choosing to share this and that's what makes you have balls of steel. Did you also notice, you got more upset when you recalled the kindness you received? Having kindness in those moments mean everything and we hold onto that for the rest of our time on this earth. Just shows how important kindness can be. My hat goes off to you and I thank you for sharing. Go be proud of yourself, you know that all of us here are. Brave, strong ass woman.. amazing 💪💗

Jami 🤍🕊🤍 it's a long, hard journey and the effects never go completely away, as much as we'd like them to. I'm proud of you for speaking up. My mom is a DV survivor. I was only 3 when she left, but I have vivid memories, including him choking her nearly to death. This was 50 years ago and lately I find myself wondering if it's gotten any better....I don't think it has. It makes me sad and angry that, as a society, we haven't prioritized the elimination of domestic violence enough to effectively eradicate it. It's so stupid since the impacts and costs to society are staggering, let alone caring about the individuals going through it. I challenge everyone reading this to write your representatives and ask what they are doing to stop DV (city, county, state, federal). We need to start demanding this be addressed. If ALL survivors of domestic violence, rape, incest, sexual and emotional abuse demand change, I think the sheer number of voices speaking up would be shocking. Thank you Jami for adding your voice. Even if you don't always feel like it, you're amazing ✨

I'm going through that myself. I was sexually abused everyday by my brother. My parents didn't say a word because he had money. They blamed me. My parents were verbally abusive and the mental abuse has scarred me to the core of who I am. They would physically abuse me as well. I would put myself in suicidal situations such as sleeping in a old rotting building on our property to hopefully being bit by a snake or a poisonous spider. They didn't even wonder where I was sleeping. I just wanted to die. Even though I was dying inside. I just wanted my pain to go away. This happened from 1963 to 1966. There was no one to talk to about this. Things were just shoved under the carpet back then. Personally I think that is why I'm still alive because I fought through this when I left home when I was 15 and never went back. Physical abuse, mental and verbally abuse leaves very deep scars on your heart. But the scars have taught me so many lessons. I'm not alone and those scars are my 'VICTORY' wounds. I still have triggers too, but ISS has saved me from myself and I love Lester Jami, LE, Jake, and all the Morrows so much. They all have unconditional love and that is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much Morrow Family.

Jami you described my life almost to a T. I'm 78 now and I still have the memories of it all. My father was physically abusive, My foster father molested me for the three years I was there. The courts put me back with my father but he had changed and didn't hit and kick me. I did want acceptance from boys and men so I did what they wanted. I was married at. 17 and divorced by 21. When I remarried, he was very abusive like my father. One day when when he was at work, I packed up my kids and our belongings and moved to a different state. Two years later I married again this time to a wonderful man, sadly he died three years later. This time I didn't marry for 10 years. Now I have been married for 36 years and very happy 😁😊❤️

Hi! I can relate to you. I also have a chronic illness and have become a recluse-most days. When I am able to pull myself together and go somewhere I put on a smile and no one knows how bad I hurt, how I was in tears just hours before due to debilitating stomach pains. I am fortunate to have a supportive family, but I’ve lost most of my friends, and I haven’t been able to work as a nurse for 5 years now, so slowly everyone fades away.I try to stay positive, and most days I can, but other times the despair of what my life has become is overwhelming. I’m thankful for Jami and Lester and ISS for bringing a little bit of reprieve from my reality.

I've been there...I was verbally abused by 2 of my sisters growing up. Then married a man that did the same thing to me. The verbal abuse and constantly being told that I was worthless and everything was my fault. After trying to make it better for so very long, I got the courage and strength with GOD to divorce him. Depression, PTSD and lack of self worth has been my way of life for 18 yrs now. I know what you mean by triggers... Loud male voices, either in a group or by itself, has me cowering. I pray someday that I'll find a kind and caring man like your Lester. Being able to trust a man again is a hard to do. Thank you for sharing your heart with me. 💕

I'm glad your journey of healing bought you to the sanctuary. Lester and his sons are blessed to have you in their lives, as us Ima Survivor family are. Watching you Jami tend to a sick or injured "little" or "big" with such intense compassion, always made me wonder what was triggered behind your eyes. You evidently understand their feelings the most of pain/fear and vulnerability. It's only being on this earth long enough, you discover people even in your everyday life who have suffered from abuse. I was floored one day a work colleague told me about her abuse at the hands of a family member. I was proud they felt able to tell their story even though she was in her 60's and proud she felt she wanted to tell me. I'm also proud of you Jami, even if this is the wrong term or sentiment. Wishing you much love and support xxx

Your story is also my story and thousands of others , you are not alone. I was raped at 19 by a so called friend , even reporting him to authorities got me know where , and more lost than ever. They said my past relationships would be brought up in court. I decided to always tell people even strangers about it , that was my therapy. I did nothing wrong and I wasn't going to let it kill me. Thank you Jami for sharing so you too can heal , not to be totally over the terrible event but realizing you can start to see you are never ever alone . Keep telling your story , keep getting it out so others can see they too are not alone. We got this, we are more powerful than our " ghosta" . They can't haunt us if we keep telling " OUR STORY" 💞

Thank you for sharing your story Jamie. My mom whom I lost on the 4th of Nov to cancer, was a survivor of abuse from multiple men and I was the child who watched it happen. Along with my little brother. We slept with bats by our beds and knives under our pillows. I watched some pretty gruesome things happen to my mom. I am glad you had the courage to get out of your situation when you did and hurt that he came back. My mom coped many ways but drugs was one of her main methods. So I was left to be sexually abused by not only relatives but also her drug friends and one friend of the family 5 or 6 people from age 6 to 15. I understand the pains the triggers and the PTSD that comes from all aspects of your story. I am 42 now and at 8 years old I vowed to not be like my mom which when you grew up like I did it's a hard vow to keep. I kept my vow, no drugs and no man has ever put his hands on me. That does not stop the triggers though, I hear a rumble at night and I'm reaching under my pillow. I sleep so light when I do sleep unless I am in a place I feel completely safe. Even though I am married to a wonderful man and have children of my own who have never seen the horror I went through, I only feel safe when the alarm kicks on.

This incomprehensible trauma leaves a big wound but you have won over these aggressors. You found joy, success, self-confidence and moved forward with compassion instead of hate and self-destruction. I know that victims feel shame but this belongs fully to the aggressor. I’m a survivor of emotional abuse. For 21 years I lived on eggshells, was ridiculed, threatened, thrown things, intimidated physically and verbally, treated like the domestic help. I left my abuser 9 years ago and have also found my happiness.

I'll take some anxiety sprinkled in a lot of great and healthy days versus the constant state of fear I was in a few years ago. I found Lester's page during a massive and scary transition in my life and the "everyones a survivor of something" hit deep in my soul and made me feel less alone. I accepted help from a village of strangers and now I have a job helping other women and children coming out of tough situations. Its such a full circle moment for me. There is help out here but you HAVE to take the first step and allow good people to lift you back up.
