My life as the unwanted child, abuse by my uncle, navigating life to finding myself | Lydia Wanjiru

- When Lydia’s uncle abused her, the whole family knew but their biggest concern was keeping the secret in the family and making sure the outside world knew nothing about it.
They would also later make Lydia the maid of the extended family, put her through hell and make sure she never belonged
Her life as an orphan would break her but later on, she found her way and she is still here. Still rising and still thriving
So, how did she rebuild her life
Here is Lynn Ngugi with today’s episode of LNS Rebuilding series

I will contact her coz i feel the need to pour my heart to her,i went through so much when i was young too 😢
Much love as always my mentor ❤️. You inspire me
Hey Lynn. This is a very sober conversation. Invite me on that round table .you are looking for 2 more people. count me as 1 person.
Pole gal for what you went thro.
Thank you for rebuilding ourselves.
You talked about undertaking criminology, u still can, it's never too late to learn.
Where is the link to her other interview? Kindly put it here , asante.
She is such a strong lady. I was raised by my mum's sister and that woman and her children were God sent, I even forgot I was an orphan 😂😂😂😂. The love, the care I remember in high school I used to have extra shopping new uniforms every term and my school fees was paid per year in advance. Though she passed on I still feel the love from my cousins, I really thank God for them.
They must've been sent from heaven direct
@@forevertreasures
Very true, unbelievable, thank God for that ❤❤
😊😊
Wow
Wow this is a beautiful testimony
Stop making orphans maids after their parents die.
If you can't be a shoulder for them to lean on? Let them go!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes very true. Sadly that's happens
Well said 👏
That's very well said , one thing I know when you take up this orphans God opens the door you never lack , I am a witness of this as I took my cousins in they are my Son's age mates and I never lacked a single thing they ever wanted , today they both grown up, graduated and working.
💯
Today I just came across this story &it took me back 😭 to my painful past.. growing up as an orphan then a man just shows up during my wedding preparations as my"dad"...married for over 10 yrs called barren...worked as a housemaid at the age of 8 till now... it's not easy but this didn't stop me from going back to school coz I dropped at class 4&did my KCPE&KCSE as an adult...now blessed with a a beautiful baby girl.. separated from a naccisist husband..re_building myself...one day I'll sit on that couch to inspire global..God is faithful..AM A FEARLESS WOMAN WITH A DIFFERENT STORY AM VUGUTZA THE BLACK QUEEN.
Hugs dear
Wow❤I cant wait to hear your story
God is indeed great!
Enyewe umekapitia
Wow❤. God is great. Looking forward to hearing your story.
Better living wth a poor parent than rich relatives 😢😢😢
I think is better living with a KIND person, rich or poor. I was raised by a poor parent who was sooooo unkind sema double the tragedy 😂. Today I gravitate more towards kind people rich or poor
@@luxurioushomendecorpalace1708 wooow and you made it congratulations 👏 and I hope you forgave them
Cruel people are just very very poor people... Regardless of how much money they have...
GUYS PLEASE NIPITIENI GOT SOMETHING NEW ❤❤
They are beasts in form of human bodies
& because of this interview I am going to be helping a young lady who has 2 small girls & she's suffering a lot raising them.
Wow❤ blessings
Kindly go ahead cz God will reward you❤❤
Just because you carry it so well doesn't mean it's not heavy😢 Lydia you are a strong woman❤
Strong girl you are, Lydia! I feel you and wish you the very best in your life, God knows your destiny. On a separate note however, i wish you can consider advising Orphans who take advantage of their situation and live on handouts - as in, they deliberately refuse to be independent regardless of the help they get. I am handling such a case. I think I'll reach out to you. Once again, God is watching, you are loved!
I live with my late sister's son and may God help me to give him all the love he needs,..will never be mean to him.. he will always be my first son.
I don't why it's so hard for people to understand that kids shouldn't be treated in a bad way coz they don't choose to be born as "unwanted"
I wish people would get to understand this simple concept. No child is unwanted and every child is a gift from God and some hold destinies for those who mistreat them like we always see from the story of Joseph in the bible.
Hugs momma❤❤
Team LNN, good morning 🌄
She's so real and authentic . All my love goes to her . We never know someone until you sit with them . May she keep winning.
This is me in my own family.
13 yrs moving on strongly. No grudge but can never associate I love my longest journey of child trauma and self me, my kids and the world ❤
So sad really
I like the way Lynn makes her guests feel free and confident, she's a good listener and very attentive. .Hi five Lydia ✋
❤❤❤❤
I feel like sometimes Lynn must interven, I min to make the audience also understand it better, because on this story I felt like there waz a mixture of everything, she will tell the part & never finish she is already on the other one, then again she is going back jiki jiki she is on the other side, I hope am making sense
Thanks
I agree love her blogs
Let her know that she is loved and appreciated ❤
Just because you see somebody smiles and carrys on doesn't mean it's easy guys 😢😢
People are really carrying heavy heart out here but they've chose to be happy 😊 😃
😢😢😢
@@ednakerry8035 sorry if you among them
That's true we opt to focus on the positive side🥺🥺🥺
@@salomewainaina3728 and the society isn't ready for such kind of traumatic conversations...
@@oguta_254 we just heal silently and move
Kulelewa na relatives imefanya everyday, I ask God to add me years ndio nilee watoi wangu🙏🙏
Ata mimi
My prayer as well
That line...'you owe no one a thank you!' Only orphans and those who were raised up by well-wishers understand the depth of this statement!
Very well put. No child asks for their parents to die or neglect them. Better still no child goes asking to be raised, they are children, they find themselves and live through whatever it is they find themselves in. I have not heard a parent tell their children to go thank them for raising them. Because being a parent to a child is a responsibility and not a favour to the child. So for those raising children that are not theirs,do it whole heartedly expecting nothing in return than the blessings of God.
😢😢😢true😢😢😢
I dearly understand...being an orphan since age 3..taken through schooling on an orphanage😢..being left and hated by your own blood due that you're educated but being unemployed!! Well it's just hard!
@@florencemuchoki3009well said....
@@edwinsakon sorry 😔
Her face is faceing❤❤ she is a real queen❤
I love the part when Lynn says "you can start from talking from where you are comfortable" Lynn i love your interviewing skills so respectful of your clients
Finished high school with lyd. I'm soo proud of her God is truly faithful. She's a testimony ❤
Growing up as an orphan is not an easy thing😭😭😭The trauma and everything you go through sometimes you even question yourself if God really exist. May God continue strengthening all orphans.
It's true
Lydia you're so real! You will do great! My favorite part of this story is your high school teacher turned mom (Lois). May God bless her left and right. May her children always find help whenever they need it. I grew up as the scapegoat in a narcissistic family dynamic, the black sheep, unloved by single mom. But the joy of the Lord is my strength.
Shame on all the relatives who mistreated her. See her life now. There is a God in heaven.
Hugs gal ❤
Proud of you, Lydia
What an emotional and painful story... amazing how you are conquering it all. 👌
I honestly love Lydia, she is such a vibe. You are so strong and have beaten many odds, so much respect for you.
❤
She's so amazing. All the best Lydia in all your endeavors.
I just love Lydia so much. She's real and truthful to herself. She's truly destined for greatness. Lydia your great days are still ahead❤
Amen
There are toxic relatives out here. I went through a lot back in 2020 because of these people called Uncle and Aunt. I thank God I am a live today and peaceful. People should normalize talking about it, and SAYING NO TO THEM IS NOT A CRIME because peace of mind is our health! THANK YOU LYNN FOR WHAT YOU DO.
So sorry for what you went through.
💯
2018 was my worst moment
Thanks so much Lynn for bringing this wonderful lady. Lydia is really great. I love her courage to handle challenges. She's just a vibe.
Am so fond of Lydia coz she is so authentic I love her content and am so sorry for what you've gone through but who is God look at you, you're glowing and prosperity ❤
"The people we owe a thank you can be a point of trauma for you"
This here!!!!!is something that pricks me deeper than words can explain,I know this so well.
And I chose my son and I and I'll do it over and over again.
Peace matters
😢
I tell you.
This is my take home as well. VERY VERY POWERFUL STATEMENT!
Behind a powerful and successful woman there's is a story that motivated them to be better .
I'm glad to see her again in this show.I just like her 💙she's such a VIBE!
And the way this girl is always happy on tiktok love her stories
She hides a lot that's what i have realised now am her follower to
Saaaamee😢❤
I don't understand Swahili but I still got the message. She had a rough childhood but it's not where you started but where you end. I'm very impressed of the young lady she became. Kudos to her❤
I love this lady...have learnt to stand for myself. I love your spirit, I love your energy ♥️♥️♥️♥️ ....Lyn you are doing great work too👏👏👏
She's a vibe I tell you. I just love her positive attitude. Her story is similar to my late mother whom I wish she went through therapy coz her story really affected her. It's true Lydia therapy is important. ❤
Why always people have that mindset that kids without parents are supposed to be treated like nothing yet they know nothing about what the future has for them may blessings follow you Lydia and i like what you said that "you forgave them but let the distance be maintained "
❤
I love this Lady, Lydia God lifted you from Grass to Grace.Much love❤❤❤❤
This talk has taught me how to deal with toxic relatives.Thanks Lydia
True
Lydia You mean you been through hell like this but you don't seem too but God's love, Grace and Favor is so sufficient in your life girl, am just in love with your energy, Lynn your rebuilding series always are teaching on someone can pick up their broken pieces and rebuild themselves again.
I love her content on tiktok. I'm just saddened by what people do to others and what she went through in the hands of those who should have loved and protected her.😢
What's her name in tiktok
Am Lydia's fun kwa tiktok ans av never thought that behind this beautiful face and soul we see on our screens has gone through so much in her younger self era. May you shine and those who never wanted to associate with you will start looking for you.
This girl is just amazing!! Coming from such a background and creating herself anew...thumps up lydiah👍👍💯💯
God bless those teachers who step in as parents....
Thankyou Lynn for bringing back lydia we really looked upto seeing her again her reality makes us to know that time heals without jeopardisment❤❤
Psalm 121 is my portion from the time I was young. I was also unwanted child in my family. Getting married to a family, who also rejected me so much also. I understand lidya's story well.
In time's of problems, i could only look to God for help and no relatives.
I thank God, He is the only friend who can never leave you. He is the only present help in sometimes of trouble's.
People with great destinies go through so much in life...
Lydia receive hugs from us. We love you so much, and Jesus Christ love's you so much ooh.
Funny enough I'm Wanjiru, I also don't know my right birthday, I had to cook the date's birth for me to get a messenger Job in NCCK
❤
Have also gone through too much,but my trust is in God only and true ,when you go through all these it means that your destiny is great,I have encountered God and I will never change my Faith in God forever and ever
I relate 🫂🫂love en light namesake❤p
This thing of being unwanted child happened to my father when he remembers even today he cries a lot but were a in journey of shining to encourage him.
I think many children who are shining are such children.
Be blessed
If resilience was a person, am proud of you Lydia. Forward ever, backward never.
This is one of the most inspiring interviews I've watched. Wow!
Lydia you are not alone...all the best. You are who you are because of your past...you are a vibe and nothing should ever stop you. You are beautiful inside out.
What a story! May God enlarge your territory Lydia❤
I can relate with some things that relatives do. We thank God for Lydia...she has encouraged herself every day and has achieved a lot.
I have always held respect for this lady .sending love and hugs.
Thank you Lynn for the translation, this is really beneficial for us who are not Kenyans. Truly appreciate it now we can follow the conversations even better
Lydia, thank you for sharing. For being vulnerable and authentic
Thank you Lynn for the authentic stories with real people
I never understand why relatives makes it soo hard to just help with no issues
U agree to help just help
This gal is brave
My take away home is "I don't owe anyone a thank you"tats deep ,not many people will understand that
May God continue blessing this beautiful gal
Lydia, you are an inspiration and you’re a blessing.
Wow Lydia is definitely a fighter and has overcome so many odds. Thanks Lynn for bringing her. Please post the link of the video referred to in the interview 🙏🏼 ❤👏👏👏👏👍👌
Lydia's story is so sad and inspiring.....besides the challenges she never gave up and true she is destined for greater good love her narration.Move on and let God do His wonders
The lawyer who was on the previous show was so hard/ insensitive to her. The lawyer needs to know that there is a reason why people make such choices in their lives. She should have be more empathetic and sympathetic with hers You are a winner my dear!!❤
Yes. Life experiences shape you
Sorry for the typos. The lawyer needs to be emotionally intelligent. Her legal knowledge and analysis was not called for. Lydia you are a winner and you will go beyond your past. I am glad that you have set firm and clear boundaries to those people who hurt you. Which is a lesson to everyone dealing with toxic relatives and friends. ❤️💕
I noticed that too
May God continue blessing you Lydia. Your story is so similar to my story, I FEEL you. I have struggled so much to reconcile this childhood trauma with all my current achievements and somehow I always come up short!! Why? B’se I’ve never had the courage to share it with anyone like you have. You are the voice of the voiceless!! God bless you again!! And to Lynn, you are a blessing!! Thank you for the work you are doing. Thank you!!
I resonate ❤
I noticed her beauty and strength. Thank you Lydia for reminding me that I got no excuse. I need to unlearn and intentional relearn.
❤
Why am I crying even before I hear the whole story..hugs girl, you are going far
She is a queen.the relatives could see it wanted to drag but God failed them❤❤
I have alot to relate with Lydiah's story,but i thank God for the relatives from my mum's side. No riches but the kindness and support they showed me was overwhelming since i was 3yrs. To my dad's side," i owe you nothing, let's keep the distance"
Went to the same primary school. Lydia you are such a strong girl 💪
Lydia, you are a victor! You story is a bomb. So many facets into it that touches the orphans, the rich relas and God who guides.
Sad how people mistreat other people's kids inthe name of supporting them😢as if they've paid anything special to have an opportunity to raise their own... anyway...God cares ... we're proud of whom you have become girl.the sky ain't the limit.keep going.
A challenge to everyone of us,strive to be better humans.
One day I asked someone why they were so kind to some kids who had lost their parents,her response sunk deep,she said she has always strived to be better cos she knows if one day she died and God allowed them to see how their kids were being treated here on earth, they'd only want to see them treated kindly. I feel it's a worth challenge
Many hugs for Lydia❤️❤️she's real authentic sooo beautiful God bless her
Finally the episode I have been waiting
I just love her skin when am listening to her videos thats the first thing i notice...pole for her indeed everyone has a storo na hakai
Lydia is authentic, beautiful and honest. Just like you Lynn, this girl is real genuine and a wife material. Lynn and Lydia keep the fire burning. Whatever you go through in your life's journey is a lesson learned not a cause to give up. I affirm the two of you 100% and pray that if its your wish to get married, may God direct you to the right partners in Jesus name.
Peace of mind means a lot. Great take-away. 💯
This girl is it. She has overcome a lot and still standing. She knows the concept of forgiveness, to heal yourself, not carrying the offenders along with you in life and not inviting them back into your life. Kudos girl 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
What a an intellectual lady. Yes, school is important because we have to be learned but educated people like Lydia are not that common in the current world. The knowledge, attitude, values and skills she has are taking her places. The sky is the limit and the so called graduates will be part of her staff. TRUST ME, SHE IS A CHILD OF GOD.
As adults we need to make conscious decisions on who and what we choose to associate with. Toxic relationships are the number one cause of negative mental health. So I agree with you 100 % that those relatives should maintain a reasonable distance from you and be steadfast with that. Keep on holding to God and "throw your anxiety on him because he CARES for you" - 1 Peter 5:7
Thanks Lynn once again :)
When you dont have parents, you are on your own... Though kuna good relatives ,but they will never be the same as your mother
wow this gal has a clean and kind hear-ted , industrious ,beautiful, smart the list is endless. She has really brought out the plight of orphans and other children from less privilege families who are mistreated and assaulted by relatives in the name of being assisted. May she continue soaring high and proofing the naysayers that everything is possible under the sun . waiting for her show to air soon
Wow!! An amazing lady here ...my mum's namesake❤❤❤❤❤❤❤you go gal🎉🎉🎉
Lynn you have an amazing show and I look forward to it every day. Thank you for being you and for bringing authentic content. Lydia you are a strong woman and like Lynn said, you are destined for greatness. Lynn receive your flowers all the way from Lusaka Zambia, I love you.
Thanks for bringing her back . I love you Lydia so real so authentic,no faking it. Blessings in your days ,months and years ahead
😢😢
Lydia is such an inspiration from tiktok to Lynn ngugi show nakuoenda sana.
Sobbed for Lydia😢, being so vulnerable as a child and adults disappointing her. I never take for granted to grow around good, well-mannered and honorable men-uncles and dad. They expected me to have great accomplishments and they never made me feel less as a woman. This kind is rare ❤
You're one of the luckiest then.
@@melaniewanjiru2829 I know. Sad that I had to deal the deplorable type in my adult years which made me realize not all men are like the men I grew up around 💔
The story has taken me soo far .I have also sobbed aki😢😢
What an inspiration!!!!! you are not you've never been alone....leave out the titles....you have a superior title,,,the title of God who is father to the orphans 🙏 keep going
Lydia is a strong woman for real ❣️, everyone has a story to tell 😢may God bless you 🙏 more
OMG lydiah i never knew you went through so much,when we were at khalids you were so jovial happy soul. Thankyou for training me back then at kaldis ❤.
I have been through everything Lydia has been through. We are the strongest people and destined for greatness
Me too see where we are
Me as an orphan i know how it feels, i pray so to God to keep me alive for my son to see him as grown up man
Lydia was my manager in a town restaurant back in 2019,a great lady, this made me cry, a strong lady she is
This lady Lydia is strong and a true definition of God exist ❤️
Omg I've never met anyone tell their story that was almost 90% my childhood experience. You never heal from such trauma. You learn to accept and cope with the pain and do the best out of all the experience. Cut every one out of my life and that is the best freedom and peace I could ever have done for myself. Keep keeping your head up and don't let your past define your future @lynn thanks for this platform and space
I am so sorry you went through all this hun. I am glad people are realizing nit all family is family. Healing to you ma’ you look great and you will go far.
Lynn Ngugi keep on keeping on! Lydiah Wanjiru keep flourishing mommy ❤
Wow....This is so inspiring Lyd.....As Lynn said you're destined for greatness...May God lead, bless and fulfill all your heart desires ❣
I could write a whole book about my life. I feel her pain too, am also the black sheep of my family, since am way of age, no husband, no kids, nothing to show for any of what others have. I gave my life to Christ and He kees reminding me to be still. He will use mg life as a manual for them to read. He is still working on me and molding me. My time is coming
I wish you all the best❤
Amen ❤
Sending my love and prayers
Oh Lydia is here 👏👏 I'm here to listen to her toxic relatives can really drain you
@@dorcaswanjiru-rs1tm yes you will dust yourself and stay fro somewhere love and light ❤️❤️

The love I have for this girl ooh my .. no problem is permanent 🙏I wish one day I will have a safe space to also to open up , someone who will not judge me ...our future is brighter
Lydia you are an inspiration to many i really admired you from the last pannel you are authentic and keep scoring high gal.... i really do admire you🥰🥰🥰... the more i watch your channel the more greatful i am coz i have both parents i used to have esteem issues because of my big body my childhood was not good always blaming my mum because i was fat and she was fat too now am 30 and me looking back i realise that i was just hallucinating and its a blessing from God to have both parents who are still married at my age... some of us take things and people for granted...
One of the very first tiktok accounts I ever followed. She kept me sane during vovid pandemic. Very intelligent and full of humor, truth and life. I didn't know she was carrying a best seller for a story. Girl, you have moved me. There is a verse that says, they overcame by the power of their testimonies. Shine! We are right behind you.
Ps
Your skin has always baffled me. So beautiful and always glowing.

I want Lydia to start her own channel. I can listen to her talking forever ❤
