Living By Their Rules Pt.2 with Chasya

In this compelling episode, Chasya opens up about her life within a strict Hasidic Jewish community, shedding light on the hidden abuses and rigid gender roles that shaped her upbringing. She bravely shares her experiences of religious oppression, spiritual abuse, and the extreme control imposed on women. From a young age, Chasya was forced to adhere to deeply ingrained traditions, all while questioning the validity of the rules that governed her life. As she navigated the challenges of breaking free from the religious sect, she faced the harsh realities of isolation, guilt, and emotional trauma. Her story offers a rare, inside perspective on the struggles of those attempting to escape religious extremism and reclaim their independence.

Chasya's journey is not just about survival but also about healing from religious trauma and finding personal growth outside of her oppressive upbringing. As she reflects on her escape, she discusses the psychological toll of religious indoctrination, the fight to dismantle patriarchal structures, and her path toward self-liberation. Through resilience and strength, Chasya overcame the isolation and abuse she faced, ultimately breaking free from the chains of religious control. Her powerful testimony reveals the courage it takes to challenge an entire belief system, offering inspiration to anyone struggling with spiritual abuse or extreme religious environments.

Chasya was born the 4th out of 8 children. It would have been 13 children had her mother not have 5 miscarriages that spared an additional 5 innocent children being born to a cult-like life.

Growing up Chasya right away didn’t fit in. There are no exceptions when born into the ultra religious sect. She was expected to follow her traditions, and the 613 commandments that come with the religion she was told she was so lucky and privileged to be a part of. Chasya didn’t buy into all the restrictions and no you can’t do that to 98% of the things that Chasya desired. Chasya wanted so badly to be an American and do what Americans do. Chasya wanted to be seen as a human being not another bar code stamped on her forehead saying she was something she didn’t ask for nor did she desire.

Her youth was unbearable - she already started to live a double life -seeing how much beatings I endured for reasons that would blow a normal persons mind-she- secretly bringing a change of clothing into her friends car and began to dabble in escaping any way that she could. Soon she wouldn’t have to escape because it became clear she wasn’t going to be accepted anymore in her family’s circle anyways - and she was to be sent away at 14.

After school years were over Chasya returned back to the cult but she already tasted freedom & tasted escapism and there was no going back. She barely left her bedroom.

Chasya needs the public’s help- we are alone ex-communicated from our family and friends. We are BEGGING - for help and mercy from the public so Chasya can have better living conditions suited for her daughter and herself.
