    This song came out during very dark time in my life. I won't say what, but it was brutal and broke me completely. I remember playing this song repeatedly and crying. It was like a plea for someone to care enough to help. Gradually, it became an anthem of strength and overcoming what had happened.

      @@p.j.morris633 Thank you for sharing your story and kind words to me. I'm sorry for your loss and all you had to deal with.
      I dealt with domestic violence. As my counselor told me, the abuse was every form of it that there is, including rape. It took me many years to finally escape it. Prior to that, there was abuse from a parent for most of my childhood. In total, 36 years of it. I have C-PTSD and anxiety. I am doing better, especially at night or in public, if my dog is with me. I've had a dog ever since I got away from my abuser. I'm old enough that I grew up in a time when abuse was seen as "what happens behind closed doors, stays behind closed doors." It simply wasn't discussed. That leaves a person feeling alone and isolated. Especially when the abuser is well liked by others. No one wants to believe they are capable of what they had done. I felt dirty, ashamed, and unworthy of love. I was made to believe it was my fault and I deserved it. It has taken years to process it all in my mind and accept that I wasn't the problem. This song seemed to say many of the things that I couldn't find the words for. As time went on, it became an anthem of strength and survival.

    A BIG "THANK YOU" To "Big & Rich", for this song! I was the victim of a brutal rape, & sodomy, when I was a virgin at age 18. It CHANGED my WHOLE life! Survivor's don't need judgement. They need SUPPORT! This is a song meant for healing...the only song written, in my opinion, that clearly shows support for those who were victim's, as well as show the humanity of "some" decent, and empathetic people. The fact that 2 MEN sing this song, well; It quite frankly makes it even more beautiful, and healing. As a songwriter, myself, I can enjoy and respect life-changing lyrics....ty, for writing, and singing this song....because so many of us need to be heard....our cries may never truly stop, but it's nice to know that someone, or some thing, can help the hurt fade away...if for just a few minutes....

    I have so much respect for Big & Rich and musicians who use their talents to build awareness & education about abuse. As a survivor of child abuse & a dyfunctional family of Incest denial---it is with songs like this that I find comfort when I am weak over my own issues to heal & that I also am given strength to advocate about child abuse prevention to others. Abuse is real. Abuse is destructive. Abuse is a sad reality for too many. Thank you Big & Rich for sharing a great song of substance!

      The reason is because it’s too personal and people out there don’t want personal. Maybe somewhere in them this happened and rather than face it they ignore it and even criticize others for facing their pain when they cannot. Those haters are the ones we must understand the most. The one’s talking are on their road to a better life. Those attacking are hiding and want everyone to think there is nothing hidden in them that they can’t bring out or some don’t even remember. That’s their defensive pattern. Attack and hide. The ones who are testifying here have that hope we all need. The negative have lost hope a long time ago and can only feel safe when attacking others who they consider weak. They that hold that pain in are the ones who can hurt or lash out so others will feel their pain. All and I mean all who turn to the darkness have a story that in their lives changed them. Some have such pain and hatred the only thing they know is to cause pain. There the cycle of pain never stops. Some don’t want help. Some cry out for help. Some just give up. It depends on the inner strength of each of us. There is were our free will comes in. Do we make ourselves better or do we continue that chain of giving pain usually to the ones that means the most to us. It’s up to us. You pray for help and guidance this is also thought of as a weakness. But we must find the strength we have to help us when it’s our worst. The hatters understand the words of songs like this but the words are too close to their real truths. So they must project this as a weakness. Or they will have to face their own fears and hatred.

    Physically/mentally abused for years by my ex spouse… until 2005. This song became my prayer, my mantra … it was as if someone out there said: “We see you… we hear you”… in a time when you just didn’t talk about the bruises/the broken bones… thank God that has changed at least some… it’s not the taboo subject that no one -(even law enforcement in small towns) wants to get involved in so it was often dismissed with a slap on the wrist..& the victim was made to feel as if she/he was making a huge deal over nothing… bless all who are going through this.. there is hope, there is help…

That abuse went on until I was 17. I went years not saying a word because I thought I would be blamed for what they did to me. I never told a soul until I was 30 yrs old.

    I am a 59 yr. old male. I was raped by my older cousin at 12. I still battle the demons, but God has put a lot of good people in my life to help me.I don't have to use booze or heroin anymore to ease the pain, but watching this hurts bad. Having parents who never supported me was hard. Come out of the darkness into the light and begin healing.

    I knew back in spring of 1997 the Holy Water of baptism was going to start the healing. It got me to the point I was willing to admit that I had a problem, and alcohol wasn't a solution for the problem. I spent from 15 to 30 being a victim. Since June 6, 1998 I've been progressing on the survivor path. These days I can hold my head up with dignity and turn the mess into a message.

She is incredibly brave to tell us her story and she doesn't need you shitting all over it. If you don't care about this stuff, then gtfo. We don't need your negativity making us feel worse about the things that have happened to us. So pull your head out of your ass and have some respect

    This song means a lot to me and really hits home... December 20th 2011 I was raped at gun point walking home from a babysitting job.... The pain, embarrassment, and shame I felt was so overwhelming. For weeks all I could do was try to drink away the memory but nothing seemed to be strong enough to drown the pain. My rapist was arrested that night and eventually he ended up being released from jail.... They didn't have enough evidence on him to convict him.... Every night I cried and screamed asking God why didn't he let the rapist shoot me, why would he let something like this happen. I ended up partying drinking, and eventually got pregnant about 3 months later. It was shortly after I found out I was pregnant I first heard this song and it slowly helped me heal along with the beautiful life I was carrying inside me. Since then I've met an amazing man who became my husband and we now have 1 child together another on the way and he's the only father my daughter knows. Plus I gained a handsome stepson when we got married... All 3 kids are happy to welcome a baby brother into their lives as are we and I've been able to move on from that horrible night.

    Two things that I have noticed with this song. 1) It no longer hides the abuse that females go thru at the hands of family members and it brings that dark hidden shame that they feel and the song says its ok to talk about it and receive healing inside where its most needed and yes some men have gone thru sexual abuse as a child as well and need support, hope, love and healing just like ladies do as well and 2) Rich is a natural tenor when he sings with Kenny since he is almost always an octave higher then Kenny..

    I've listened to this song four times already today. I've read all of your comments, your stories, your forgiveness, your hate, and your willingness to move on. I'll tell you now no matter how far in the healing process you are, you are strong, and you are a fighter. I've been through my share of pain in this life as well. I was sexually assaulted ten times starting at the age of five, when I was six my parent's divorced, and now most if not all of my family has ladt me. So I too know what it feels like, how courageous and brave of all of you to share your stories, and have each others backs.

    I grew up thinking that abuse was normal. My mom was abused by my biological father and he started sexually and emotionally abusing me at about 7. He went to jail when I was 10. When I was about 13 my mom married my stepdad and I finally realized that not all men would hurt me. He's wonderful to all of us. At 13 I became friends with a guy who abused me. I dated his best friend when I was 14 and they both abused me physically. I started dating the friend (like the young, love-blinded little girl I was) about a year after breaking up with the first guy. The friend got worse and worse but I stayed with him for almost 2 years. Now I'm 19 and still struggle every day with my past. I've contemplated ending my life many times in the past several years but every time I remind myself that I have so much to live for. I have 4 younger siblings, 2 handsome nephews and a beautiful niece looking up to me. No matter what you've been through God will help you through and make you stronger. Just remember that there's somebody looking up to you as well as somebody keeping watch over you.

      This kind of abuse affects every minute of your life from the time it happens. There is no statue of limitations for murder. but a statue of limitations of seven years from the time it happened. What if you don't realize it for 40 years? This is insane. there should be no limitations! Try to seek justice and ask for some sort of recompense for your suffering. God knows how awful it's been. I am sorry. Yes, this song says it all.

A memory you can never forget but you can learn to go on and live with it with someone who does understand and will help you heal... Use this experience to reach out to other girls who have dealt with the same thing... There are a lot of them out there.... Maybe your story will help them in healing as well... I wish you the best.

      @revacohen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's also possible to be traumatized without realizing it. I don't know if anyone would consider this to be "stealing my innocence," but I was molested at 15. I got into a car with a man I didn't know. While he drove me home, just as I asked, he kept touching me in a manner I didn't like, and he made me kiss him. I was traumatized by that for many years. If a man approached me on the street, I'd panic because I'd think he was going to assault me. Or if I had to be alone with a man, I'd be uncomfortable. I didn't realize for many years that it wasn't normal to be reacting like this, and I finally realized that what happened to be at 15 was the reason.

      Teresa Torres you are so right on that. Everyone gets mad at time's and want to knock something else including me but they don't, when you cross the line it's time to seek help.

    You can get stuck in the negative and the pain, so easily. You just need to dig down deep and then you can pull yourself back up. Not to say the pain isn’t always there. Myself I smile and push my way through it. Sometimes are worse than others but my point is you can live through it without becoming bitter

    Ironically, I first heard this song on a TH-cam video someone made in dedication to something else. When watching this video, I found myself crying a little bit. I can truly relate to it. I can remember when I was young, what I wanted more than anything was for someone to hold me and tell me I was wonderful.

    Why doesn't this song have more views? I'm not really a country fan. But the first time I heard this my knees literally buckled. I swear our society is getting more corrupt and shallow by the frickin moment. This is so amazingly moving!
