She was being controlled, abused, and eventually pimped out by her own boyfriend. He got her hooked on drugs, trafficked her across states, had her beaten and robbed, and even kidnapped her. This is a story about how quickly love can turn into control, how deep manipulation can go, and what it actually takes to get out. Emily made it out—and she’s telling everything.

My Family Stole My Identity

-We're All Insane Plus for Bonus Episodes, Ad-Free Listening, Access to New Show, Guided Mediations: https://wereallinsane.com Growing up in Brazil, things looked pretty normal on the outside—but there were always weird things happening. Letters showing up in her name, people coming to the house asking for her… and none of it made sense at the time. When she was 12, she found out why. Someone in her own family had stolen her identity and created companies in her name, leaving her with a massive amount of debt before she was even a teenager. We talk about what that actually looked like growing up—dealing with legal issues as a kid, having her assets frozen at 18, and spending years trying to fix something she didn’t do.
