(69,014 posts)Soon Yi was beaten by her birth mother. So she was fertile ground for further abuse.
I was googling for confirmation of Soon Yi saying Mia treated the adopteds as indentured servants and her born children as humans One link was to Data Lounge, a venerable gay gossip site. (I'd link but I'm on my tablet and I haven't mastered copy paste. Google Soon Yi indentured and it should show up.)
Seems 2 books were written, one by Mia and one by the nanny. Both describe Mia hitting Soon Yi, but the nanny says Mia caused the bruises on Soon Yi's face by hitting her with a phone. The kind they had 20 years ago. Also a chair.
DOES ANYONE HERE BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MIA HIT ONE OF HER ADOPTED CHILDREN? Does physical violence just emerge in a crisis if you have NEVER used it?
Everything I have ever seen or heard of Mia's relationship with her hoard of children shrieked abuse to me. Same bloody behaviors. Cutting. Shoplifting. Fervent impassioned defense of the abuser. Nothing felt right about it. And I didn't know anything about bruises so visible that people were commenting on them.
