57. 2:43mother does not give up according to her
58. 2:46therapist Rebecca Bailey who specializes
59. 2:48in family
60. 2:50reunification that memory ja's memory of
61. 2:53her mother may have been the life raft
62. 2:57that helped her survive what saved her
63. 3:00was a early on relationship with her
64. 3:04mother that allowed her to go into
65. 3:06something with a strong sense of self
66. 3:09Rebecca Bailey the therapist says that
67. 3:11just as there is post-traumatic stress
68. 3:13there can be post-traumatic growth in
69. 3:16those years JC dugar had trauma enough
70. 3:19for many lifetimes at 13 she was
71. 3:22pregnant and twice would give birth no
72. 3:25medical care in the squalled backyard
73. 3:29but even though she was still a child
74. 3:32she knew those babies her daughters were
75. 3:35her life I felt like I wasn't alone
76. 3:42anymore had
77. 3:44somebody that was
78. 3:50mine I wasn't alone and I have a second
79. 3:54person to love and to love
80. 3:57me and maybe another
81. 4:00little piece of my mom to hang on to
82. 4:03after 6 years being locked inside away
83. 4:06from Sun away from the sky her captors
84. 4:09increasingly confident unbolted a door
85. 4:12and allowed her to walk out into the
86. 4:14yard you planted little flowers yeah I
87. 4:18like the garden my colleague ABC's Chris
88. 4:21Cuomo also spoke to Rebecca Bailey how
89. 4:24much of what you think Jai had inside
90. 4:27her
91. 4:28naturally worked to her benefit in this
92. 4:30situation I believe firmly that the core
93. 4:34that her mother fostered in this child
94. 4:37got her through I mean there's no
95. 4:38question on top of it her ability to
96. 4:41learn from the environment and adapt and
97. 4:45adjust is another another piece of it
98. 4:49and the mother still fighting on holding
99. 4:52rumage sales to try to get money to pay
100. 4:54for private detectives alone except for
101. 4:57a few friends who quit their job to try
102. 5:00to help her what did it take for a mom
103. 5:03to keep the hope alive for all those
104. 5:05years
105. 5:07fortitude she did what she had to do and
106. 5:13did it in I mean there is no part of
107. 5:17Terry proin in my mind that believed
108. 5:21that this child was not going to come
109. 5:22home
110. 5:25and being the great doctor I am that it
111. 5:29stumps me as well and even though her
112. 5:33memory of her mother was betraying her
113. 5:36her heart did not wanted to see her more
114. 5:39than anything and worried you'd forget
115. 5:43worried I'd forget what she looked like
116. 5:45her what she sounded
117. 5:48like would she forget me though after 18
118. 5:52years of Torment it was too painful to
119. 5:55look up at the Moon oddly the night
120. 5:57before she would be rescued she looked
121. 6:00at the sky you really believe that
122. 6:03others could have gone through
123. 6:06this and held on as you
124. 6:10did I think they could have yeah I don't
125. 6:13feel like I did anything special I just
126. 6:15did what I needed to
127. 6:19do held on to see my mom again you
128. 6:24know
