"I'm not sure anything impacts the life more than your protector being your perpetrator," Beth said. "In other words, my father was the person on earth that I could trust the least."
Beth adds that her father, in order to ensure that she didn't let anyone know about the ongoing abuse, mentioned she had to keep quiet for the safety of the family, including her mother.
"What he did say over and over, was that we had to protect my mom because she was not stable," she said. "So, he used that. So, there was like, ‘I'm not only going to split up my entire family, but I'm gonna cause my mother to kill herself."

Beth Moore also mentioned past hardships she has faced in her 45-year marriage in relation to her husband's battle with mental illness.
