Today Jan explores stage 4 of the 6 stages of grooming which is 'Isolating the child'. This can take many forms, but one of the ways that seems to be consistent is using secrets as a way of putting a wedge between the child and what support system they have. Another way in which this stage is carried out and can actually be seen as a parent is the manipulator taking on duties/tasks that you would generally perform, so remember to ask yourself "Would I do this for another person?". All that and more in today's episode.Everyone at The Jan Broberg Show and The Jan Broberg Foundation Believes, Listens and Supports All Survivors.  If you would like to be considered for our “365 Days of Grooming and Manipulation Series”, send your written story to jan@janbroberg.org.

Today, Jan is joined by Abigail Alvarado who is here to tell her harrowing story. Starting at age 9, Abigail and her siblings were removed from the crack house they called home by Child Protective Services (CPS). After a short stay in a shelter, their uncle took them in and shortly thereafter adopted them. Not long after is when the progressive nightmare began. Starting with the same old story of grooming into molestation into sexual abuse while the mother figure doesn't believe her claims, but then after nearly 7 years of constant abuse and brainwashing is where the story takes a hard turn: forced surrogacy. Having 3 children over the next 6-7 years, Abigail watched in horror as her children are raised to believe she is their older sister and giving their love to a pair of sadistic rapists who now have her trapped, or her children will be their next victims. Enter Rudy, a year of secretive on again off again connections, and finally the dam bursts, she tells him her story, and he believes her. Beyond that, he believes in her and offers his assistance if she can manage to escape with her children, which she does. 24 and free she begins a new life with the man she has grown to love and trust. Happily ever after does exist it turns out.Buy her book: I Am Abigail: A Texas Woman's Childhood Nightmare—and Her Escape From Hell as a Sex Slave/SurvivorFollow Abigail On Instagram: Abigailalvarado_survivorThis episode is sponsored by Betterhelp Online Therapy.
