Sex Trafficked by Her Adoptive Mother And Pastor’s Wife: Triana’s Courageous Escape

"She was the minister’s wife. I was her adopted daughter. No one believed me, until my body forced me to remember."

In this shattering episode of The Angela Rose Show, Triana, chronic illness warrior, and founder of Broken Pieces Art Studio, reveals how her adoptive mother, a Dunkard Brethren pastor’s wife, trafficked her as a child while the church covered the crimes.

🔍 With extraordinary courage, Triana shares:

•Being adopted out of prison into a high-control religious family, and how “spiritual grooming” masked her abuse

•Trafficked around ages 5 to 8, including physical violence by her mother, she dissociated to survive

•Baptized in terror in a freezing creek at age 8 (to wash her sins) as the hellfire preaching and damnation left her with no other choice

•The near-fatal car accident at age 3 that left her with nerve damage, only to be dismissed as attention-seeking 

•Church records documenting bruises on children... and why no one was ever charged

•How escape through marriage and motherhood unleashed suppressed memories, and how her art (like her crystal butterfly resin designs) reclaims the beauty stolen from her

This is more than a survivor story. It's a reckoning, an unflinching exposé of how religious systems enable predators, and the extraordinary strength it takes to rise from the wreckage.

🛑 Trigger Warning: This episode contains raw descriptions of sexual abuse, child trafficking, spiritual manipulation, racism, suicidal ideation, and psychological violence. Please listen with care.
