Heather opens up about the trauma of the foster care system, her sister Nicole’s tragic legacy, and her daily battle with OCD and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. This isn't just a story about trauma; it’s a testament to the human spirit's ability to reclaim its voice. #CultSurvivor #TrueStory #ReligiousAbuse #SurvivingIsh #HeatherFord #FosterCareTrauma #OCDRecovery #EscapingACult #Documentary #InspirationalStories #FetalAlcoholSyndrome https://us.amazon.com/Barbie-Pink-Wall-Secrets-Abuse-ebook/dp/B0GHBX3DKB/ref=sr_1_6?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.B40aV9BxTb7HoES7zJtPedc4u26gb3CG9yEcO2sct43PS2swVqMDg08_d6Pi6j0qETTgYULzgdgPnDCfo0EcqjXVDxRS7CmkKQsBPxLCRs4PHV72TINB1s8R2N_3OW3vHOboSCGQ4WaL1Z26swR4-hXEef1NCusVrh35y0jVZSz4Lh-JGRuvDrJ1bYMQLS3JJ4E8UvRpqi2HHiLQRwYrQDslBVbPY6fPZIy3jiB8Uwg.x8aYmNj01XZ5JyRfzDCbC9jRirEb_HWAAeWT2pun3Sg&dib_tag=se&qid=1770077913&refinements=p_27%3AHeather+Ford&s=digital-text&sr=1-6Support the show
