Like A Satanic Ritual: Dad & His FRIENDS Did THIS to Me

Did this story make you as furious as it did me? I was shaking afterwards. Anyway, to address some comments, the title is currently 'satanic' because I didn't want to write Sikh or Punjabi - I didn't think it was relevant, because she said her family distanced themselves from the rest of the community. The only word then that came to mind was Satanic. I don't mean it in the sense of devil-worshipping...because this case is far worse than something Satan could come up with. Love to you all, thank you for the kind words, I am sure Nina feels that support. Andrew

I just wish all these twisted abusers could be legally held accountable. Makes me so angry.

My brother was raped and molested by clergy at Catholic boarding school. It made him go schizophrenic. It happened between the ages of 9 to 13. He struggled to recover but he couldn't. He committed suicide on August 5, 1977. It's been 46 years, but I still cry and miss him so much. Now I know why he couldn't recover. Thank you Nina. I miss my brother and mourn all our missed time and holidays that we could have shared. It's so sad that evil triumphs so often. He was such a beautiful person and didn't deserve this as Nina didn't deserve it. A lot of these religions are cults.

I am the mother of 14-year old twin girls. Never in my life have I wanted to reach out and hug someone, stroke her hair and just let her cry on my shoulder more than this brave lady. I was in tears listening to this. I simply cannot understand how anyone can do this to anyone else, let alone a parent to their own child.

I’m shocked that people who would know her family and those people are not exposing the names of these evil individuals

As someone who was born as a wanted girl baby, this is so freaking mind-blowing and shocking. I mean I knew about the preference for boy babies, but people have to realize that you don't get any people without girls. Girls need to be valued! So heartbreaking!!!

What a warrior. Forged in fire. Can you imagine how much anguish this took prior to it being even formed into words. Then to speak it out loud? Astonishing. She even seems to be manifesting love, it's radiating from her. Wow. Sending Loving energy...

I had a difficult time watching this. I had to do it in sections. I am a survivor of child abuse, physical, sexual, and emotional. I do not share my story unless I feel intensely convicted to share it with someone. but you have shared your story with so many. you are brave, kind, and beautiful in every way. thank you for reliving this as many times as you have.

Andrew, this is the first interview I've seen from you that made me cry. My heart goes out to her. No one should ever have to experience so much torture and suffering. No one.

The image of how this beautiful woman was treated as a child is a nightmare. I am incredibly impressed with the person she has become in spite of the abuse and neglect. Nina, I celebrate you and the impact you have on the world ❤

In the Philippines, girls are taken cared of and protected. And, in our sociology class, the Filipino family is classified as a matriarchal family. I am so sad and disgustedhow Nina was treated by her own family. May she have a blessed and happy life.

How can a father do this to their own daughter? 😢 And the mother just closed her eyes and pretend nothing happened?

Nina, as a counselor, I have worked with adult women who have had similar stories about abuse from their fathers/uncles while mom stood by. I agree with your comments that it sounds like these "mothers" are threatened by pretty daughters, but I can't wrap my head around the lack of the parents love and protection of their offspring. I can't understand how a parent/mother/father could abuse their own daughters. My heart breaks hearing your story..I have no words. Just know, you and some of my past clients, are the strongest women I have ever had the privilege of knowing/hearing the story. God bless you as your journey improves.

This is not just a Punjabi issue. This has happened to many women, also many of my own family, and cousins. We are Canadian. From British, Scottish, and Irish decent. The women and children were not anything but owned. I grew up knowing never to be alone. I know how hard this is for this amazing woman to talk about, and tell her story.

This is one of the worst stories of abuse I have heard. Nina you are amazing to have survived that hellish childhood 😢💜

I was abused by family and teachers and took so long to overcome this but still it is always with me and yet my story is nothing compared to Nina. God bless you for your courage, I love you in the right way and you are pretty.

This lady is absolutely amazing. I am humbled by her bravery to share her story. And to help others.

I had seen her telling the whole story and believe me, it is much worse than this. She is resilience itself. Absolutely beautiful human being. As a survivor of domestic violence myself, I thought my own story was horrible enough. I was wrong.

Omg I’m so so sorry Nina that you were subjected to such brutality, I read a book when I was a young girl it was about a young girl who was from a Punjabi family same story as yours , unwanted girl, slave ,raped beaten poisoned in her own home was forced into a marriage and her treatment continued until ,like you ,she escaped with broken bones ,black swollen face ,broken skin, she eventually escaped ,found a refuge eventually married a man who loved her, she spent her life helping other girls to escape their family. This book broke my heart and later as I grew and trained as a nurse I was always aware of the Indian / Punjabi girls I came across who were reluctant to talk or explain their injuries, I quickly realised how little doctors or police helped these girls and refused to get involved . I moved away after my marriage but I did help one girl I met and she got away , it was terrifying and I wonder even now if she managed to totally escape ❤

I'm so sorry, so sorry, Nina. I can't stop crying. How can someone do something like this to another human being?!
