I Chose the Wilderness Over Captivity: A Grandma's True Story

Texas Panhandle. Living on the Blue Ridge Ranch in Eagle Pass, I was trapped in a cycle of control and cruelty. This episode covers my struggle for survival as a young orphan, the pain of being treated like an animal to be broken, and the profound moment of liberation I shared with the black Quarter Horse, Thunder. This is a story about unbroken spirit, finding courage, and the moment I finally left the darkness behind to claim my own life.
