When Freedom Means Leaving Your Family- with Jessica Willis Fisher

When Freedom Means Leaving Your Family with Jessica Willis Fisher. interview about religion, domestic violence, and family estrangement.
Jessica Willis Fisher was the oldest daughter in a high-control family system, that just so happened to also be famous (TLC, AGT...ect) Behind the gorgeous smiles and stunning talent of this 14 person family- fear, control and every kind of abuse reigned.
When Jessica became able to really face the horrors of what was happening to her, and her family members, she was faced with a seemingly impossible decision. Her memoir captures the immense struggle of her story with striking heart and clarity. We had the honor of interviewing Jessica and hearing from her personally about:
-the nature of the effects of abuse on victims
-the role of responsibility in getting free and staying free
-reframing how we understand committed relationships like marriage
-how everyone plays a part in abuse prevention, awareness and support
-Jessica gives a sneak peak into what she is working on next by way of writing
-and more!
Jessica shares so authentically and powerfully, this episode is a new favorite of ours! Find Jessica on IG @jessicawillisfisher and her website jessicawillisfisher.com/

I have loved you for a long time. I didn’t understand what happen to the group. you guys were the best. After I heard you guys on TV
One morning I cried. I went through the very same thing in my early childhood and into my teens. My story is so much more and even After I was married my daughters were victims. I finally told my sister and her husband and even my husband. It was so hard but my father had to be confronted. My sister went with me and we laid it all out. When we left the house he knew he had been caught. He took his life that night.

She certainly “found her voice.” She is so articulate.

So when you find what you believe is truth, let us know what you believe truth is.
