I Ruined Your Life, Now Help Me Save Mine

Filed under: Human Nature, Just Outrageous! — Posted by FoxyNews on January 30th, 2006


A mom who subjected her daughters to the most horrific abuse imaginable is now calling out to them to donate a kidney to save her own life.

After suffering through sexual abuse, satanic murders, cannibalism, and other disgusting forms of abuse at the hands of their mother and her boyfriend, the girls were taken away from their mother and adopted by other families. Now that these three girls are grown, the mother and her family are desperate to find them. The mother suffers from a kidney disease, and her daughters may be a match for a donation. The sisters of the mother, however, have not even been tested to see if they would be a match.

One wonders why these daughters would even consider saving the life of the woman who made their own lives hell.

    Bear in mind that a LOT of stanic ‘abuse’ claims found using hypno therapy and such were later totally discredited as utter fiction, from tales of entire day-cares moonlighting as satanic slaughterhouses (utterly implausible, not to mention totally unsubstantiated) to more mundane cases like this one.

    That said, if she DID do those things to those girls, I think a painful slow death like total renal failure is mild compared to what she deserves.

  2. Homosapien#1212131313131 Says:

    Just remember that the mother had gone through sexual abuse as a child too. All this talk of retribution, of vengance of “renal failure” is typical mob mentality take over.
    If these girls want real power over their past then it is not through wrath, anger or hatred. But through compassion, pity and self respect. I would rather save the life of someone, no matter what they had done to me, then let them die, knwoing i had a chance to save them.

    “I would rather save the life of someone, no matter what they had done to me, then let them die, knwoing i had a chance to save them.”

    I think that’s easy to say from where we sit as observers. There’s no way we could know how these girls are feeling, nor can we (or should we) pass judgement on them either way. This would be an intensely personal decision, and frankly, one I’m grateful I’m not in the position to have to make.

  4. Troll Says:

    Sucks to be her ( the mother that is ) If, in fact the abuse is true, then WHY would you want to
    risk your own well being to help someone that should have been in prison for the rest of her life ?
    The way I look at it, I would rather have my organs rot in the grave with me, than give someone like
    that a new lease on life. No, before you all wanna lynch me for that, the individual in question would
    no more be my mother than the refrigerator in my kitchen is. To get respect you must give respect,
    and this whole attitude to help those that have absolutely no socially redeeming value is a bunch of
    bull. The woman has other family, check with them, unless of course she has alienated them with
    her Satanic values. To the Devil His own, I am sure they have have a wonderful eternity together.
    After all SHE is his servant, and she will get just what she deserves !

  5. Wintermute Says:

    Homosapien… I have to disagree.

    I never bought that “live and let live” bullcrap, I think it’s just an excuse for not doing justice hear and now. “An eye for an eye” only blinds those that do evil.

    In short, I belive in retribution, and if she is a child molester, I still think a slow death is worse than what she deserves, which would preferably include hot irons and ball-peen hammers. Those girls are getting a chance for vengance our society rarely affords, and wrongly so.

  6. Jake Says:

    I agree with wintermute.

    The golden rule doesn’t work. It just creates a big cycle/ If someone treats you bad, then working the golden rule, you should treat them bad right back at them right? Wrong! Then someone just comes to you and says “treat others the way you would like to be treated.”

    Being nice is not always the answer. What would the world be like today if we were nice with Hitler.

    The girls should be the ones to decide, WITHOUT any outside interference or judgement.
    It is nobody’s business but theirs.
    Personally, I would really have to dig deep down and let my concience guide me….depending on whether the story is true about the abuse that is.
