*Trigger warning: A lot of sexual assault. Also, a lot physical violence and abuse. Forced miscarriages.*
Welcome back. For part two Madison details their lives inside 2207 Seymour Avenue after all three of them had been kidnapped. Castro manipulates the women into fighting with each other. They have to survive physical and sexual assault, as well as their own thoughts. This part spans over the course of the nine years they lived inside that home after Gina was taken. They beat the odds every single day and persisted to survive, and after this part you'll be in awe of their strength. They deal with anger, family deaths, miscarriages, and the birth of a child in captivity. If you have stomach this part, part 3 starts out very emotional at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Taryn is a little quiet in this one. We are still adjusting to the distance from our new mics and a setting got turned off that records us separately so I wasn't able to bump her up
