    Robin is so strong. I was choking back tears listening to her on the 911 call. Even at 10 yrs old, she was more composed and articulate than me at almost 40. Poor girl lost her entire family, her whole life in an instant. I truly can't imagine. The officer who stayed by her side and fed her animals with her is an absolute gem. He is def in the right line of work. If anyone deserves to be sentenced to death, it's Levi King.

    Robin, I used to constantly bounce my legs. I used to zone out. I used to have my heart beat out of my chest when I thought about or talked about my trauma. I used to not trust. What changed? I finally was in a place in my life where I felt safe enough emotionally that I could go to "Trauma Counseling". Trauma Counseling is very different from regular counseling or psychiatry. My trauma counselor was Dr. Sgt. Denny Conroy, St Paul, MN. He was both a police officer and a trained trauma counselor. I spent 4 years bit by bit, as I felt strength to do it, talking about what happened; healing bit by bit as I talked it out of me. Healing with a safe person who got me. All of those symptoms of trauma are gone now. It is extremely painful and you have to feel ready emotionally to tackle trauma counseling, but it is worth it! I hate people telling me I am a survivor. I did survive but I am so much more than just a survivor. God bless, Robin.

I didn't realise that I had PTSD until by accident I was sent to a great psy many years later, who was experienced in trauma counseling. It was the best thing I did. I went on to be an alpinist, trekker, successful in my work - just didn't have kids for obvious reasons but am now a happy mom and Granny to an African family. God bless Robin - she's a very strong young lady and kudos to the police who were there for her.

      Your comment was sooo insightful!! I’m glad she has the support system she has in her life!! I hope your message gets to her somehow, someway. She said she only trusts law enforcement, perhaps she could get in contact with who helped you or someone retired in her circle could be there with her to walk through it. It’s unfortunate that she’s not ready to face the pain of the trauma yet, because it’s painful to see her struggle as you observed. Because once she does, and she gets some relief, a little healing, and some tools, I can really see her helping children all over the world if she wants. She could be driven to a career in law enforcement, if she so chooses. My greatest hope for her is healing. Because, I’d love for her to be set free from the pain, so she can move forward, help others and do exactly what that officer said he wants to live to see!!!

    Was mentally,physically, and emotionally tortured by someone I called my dad. I didn't learn until later the same had happened to him. I broke the cycle, for this I live in peace and will also die with peace in my heart for not continuing that fear of him waking me up at 1 in the morning.
    This makes me a very harsh person, and very easy to anger.
    Somehow I have chosen to use that for good.
    I choose to be kind and caring and wait for the day of my calling whenever someone is in distress I'll be there for anyone.

(if other countries most likely given him a death sentence easily).

      That’s not true. Solid therapy can improve one’s mental outlook. Trauma manifests in humans with startlingly similar outcomes. These are treatable and the processes have helped countless people overcome their trauma. Sure, you are correct that life is sometimes scary. That’s unavoidable and worse for some people. Having your family annihilated in front of you is as bad as it gets. That should not be a life sentence for this young woman. She can and hopefully will learn some coping skills to overcome all that burdens her. The fact that she so vehemently declares she doesn’t need therapy is a great indicator that she likely does. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she someday engages in self destructive behaviors if she doesn’t confront her darkest emotions. Either way, I wish her well and hope her life is long and prosperous.

My papa thrown empty bottle to him(thief), got hurt and ran. He has no gun during that incident which we were thank of but the taken money from the shop was taken with him. It happened 3am when everybody was asleep. I think the thief (knows us) because he knows where to go around the house.

I’m not saying someone with bipolar disorder can’t be violent, but if they are, they tend to be violent by nature.

    She is so strong. I know this episode is old, but I do hope that she has changed her stance on mental healthcare. Treatment is not being weak or being pitied. She goes on to say that she doesnt need to speak to a professional, but then talks about how she has a list of “superstitions” that she has to complete before feeling safe. That is not true healing. She has done IMMENSE healing on her own, but you also need professional guidance. Just my opinion as someone who has lost both parents and was resistant to treatment. The “tough it out” mentality is not the badge of honor that you think it is

    Bless y’all for staying close❣️ Robin, the tragic, horrific way you lost your mom, stepdad, & brother - no one can duplicate your grief, loss, & all that go with them. Everyone has his/ her own way of processing, & I think everyday is another day on the road to healing.
    I think we don’t really “get over” these losses, but it’s on the journey where we grow stronger, wiser. I know others who have or hours where they look deeper into everything, & “why” becomes so redundant they feel silly or sometimes almost angry because there may not be an answer, or that the answer may be further down the road on the journey.
    I’d say you’ve got some mighty awesome folks who love you & want the very best for you! I know you’re making your heavenly family proud too!

    This is the only episode that has brought tears to my eyes. My heart shatters for the little girl who experienced the loss of her family. But my heart also is proud of how strong of a young woman she has become. God bless you darling
