Amy Holly Campbell: A Journey from Pain to Strength
I hated the thought of this person hurting other children and family.
What happens when a loving home turns into a battleground? Amy Holly Campbell from Leeds, United Kingdom, opens up about her tumultuous childhood in this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now'. Amy's story begins with a loving mother and an abusive father who would often beat both her and her mother. The situation escalated when her mother fell into the wrong crowd, leading to heavy drinking and drug use.
At just nine years old, Amy faced not only physical abuse but also the emotional torment of being told she was unwanted. To make matters worse, she discovered that the man she thought was her father wasn't her biological parent, and he disowned her soon after revealing this devastating truth. Despite these harrowing experiences, Amy found the courage to speak out against her abuser. She couldn't bear the thought of him hurting others and decided to take a stand.
Her story is a poignant reminder of the importance of breaking the silence and seeking help.

With trauma-informed hosts and respected advocates from the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), this episode offers not just a story of survival but also a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar struggles.
