In this episode Shannan interviews Jocelyn as she shares how she was sexually abused from her mother's boyfriend from the age of 5-11.

She resided in Fort Worth, Texas for a short time until moving to Pittsburg, California. While in Texas, she experienced some of life's struggles. Well, that may be a bit of an understatement. Jocelyn was left home alone with her mother's boyfriend and before long became the victim of a reoccurring crime of child abuse.
