    I think what should be acknowledged is that such situations are complex and are not black and white like we like to think. She had an entire existence in the world she was thrust in and in those years there was the bad but still moments of joy and good. Listening to others who have gone through similar experiences you see that they cannot completely deny the bond that was created against the backdrop of having been kidnapped. This is her story.... this is how she has made it through, has been able to heal and forgive and move on. We cannot tell her how to be or deal with a life we have never lived. This is her life and her story. I am just glad that despite the pain and suffering she is not a victim but a woman who is now thriving and living out her purpose.

    Remember Joyce is the victim in all this. She is the one who went through what she went through. The way she chooses to move ahead with her life is her business. She has decided to embrace all sides of her identity, the good, the bad, the ugly, and yes the names. Stop putting more labels on an already kidnapped, raped, isolated, innocent 5 y/o Joyce who had no role in what became of her life. Some insensitive comments are just whack, she has chosen to live life without regrets. This is not a sob story, its a story of hope and strength. Stop this nonsense of victimizing the victim. Thank you Joyce for telling your story.
