On Instagram, the 29-year-old mom encourages her followers to let their voices be heard and create a community where they can all heal together.

“I want you to know that you are not ignored,” she wrote on Instagram on Saturday, October 17.

“Your stories, tears, and anger are heard. I hear it, even if no one else does. I hope I'm shedding some light on the fact that abuse is not always obvious. It's not always spoken about.

“It's most often happening in the hands of those you trust. It's also most often buried --- not to be spoken of again --- to haunt the victim in thoughts.”

Sarah said that sharing her past made her realize that she's stronger than she thought. That revelation even freed her from what she's been running away from for years.

“Saying it out loud made me realize I didn't want to be the victim anymore,” she declared.

“I didn't want to hide or let it define me no longer. I've buried my past for a long time.”

Sarah added, “I know I can't help every single one of you by changing the past, but we can hopefully build a community that will help each other heal.”

She ended the note with “#AkoDin,” the Filipino translation of the #MeToo movement.

As I write this message, more pained souls come my way. I want you to know that you are not ignored. Your stories, tears and anger are heard. I hear it, even if no one else does. I hope I'm shedding some light on the fact that abuse is not always obvious. It's not always spoken about. It's most often happening in the hands of those you trust. It's also most often buried - not to be spoken of again - just to haunt the victim in thoughts. Saying it out loud made me realise I didn't want to be the victim anymore. I didn't want to hide or let it define me no longer. I've buried my past for a long time.. I know I can't help every single one of you by changing the past, but we can hopefully build a community that will help each other heal. #AkoDin #BreakTheStigma

Sarah Wurtzbach aired her frustrations toward her sister Pia Wurtzbach and their mother Cheryl Alonzo-Tyndall last Monday, October 12.

While she has already apologized for her outburst and has patched things up with her sister, she reiterated that her actions were brought by years of keeping the “pain from within.”
