Part 3/9:
For Julia, sharing her past has been a difficult endeavor. The trauma of her upbringing, characterized by hidden abuses and manipulation, took years of healing and acknowledgment.

Her story illuminates the suffocating environment she endured—living under the regime her father had created, with strict daily routines that included prayers, spiritual readings, and health rituals, often at the expense of her personal freedom.
