When a man close to Kirielle’s family began smothering her with unreciprocated attention at 16, he, her church, and her family conditioned her to believe he was her only choice. After succumbing to marriage, she tumbled into a cycle of depression, manipulation, and assault.

Losing her grandparents was a pivotal moment in Chihiro’s life. Beginning college and seeking her place in the world amidst this grieving was the ideal setting for an older classmate at her school to draw her in and enmesh her in a cycle of grooming. This was the precursor to abuse that would escalate so quickly it caught Chihiro completely off guard. She describes the dichotomy of being tethered to someone who promotes a charismatic, caring, and idyllic public facade while simultaneously controlling her every move and stripping her of even her freedom to grieve — ultimately culminating in a violent sexual assault. Chihiro shares her story with heartbreaking clarity and detail — reclaiming herself as she offers other survivors the gift of understanding.This is a podcast by We Are HER — a nonprofit dedicated to providing community to survivors by helping them become Healed, Empowered, and Restored. If you haven’t already, please review us on iTunes.

Brooke had a good job in retail after moving to the glamour of Las Vegas, but before she knew it a handsome, charismatic man was dazzling her with flashy cars and a glimpse at a new kind of life she’d never imagined.
