Figuring Out Her New Reality

But soon enough, Kach began to realize that what she believed was going to be a new life filled with the love and care she so desired, was nothing like her actual reality. While in Hose’s home, he had given her a can to use a toilet, and she was never allowed to leave her room. Once or twice a week, in the wee hours of the night, Hose would allow her to tip toe downstairs so that she could shower, but that was about all the “freedom” she was allowed. He also stood watch, making sure that no one in the house would hear Kach while she washed herself.

Locked Up And Away From The World

While kept upstairs and locked inside the room, Kach began to miss her family despite how flawed they may have been. She says that she shared her feelings with Hose, saying, “At first when I would say, ‘I want to leave. I miss my family. I want to go home,’ he would threaten my life and then my family’s life,” causing her to be afraid of what he might do if she attempted to escape.
