This week, we’re revisiting Breaking Amish Season 1 - not for the drama, but for the stories hiding underneath it. Beneath the makeovers and city shocks were moments of real pain, shaped by control and silence.

Sabrina High spent her life believing she was someone she wasn’t. Her adoptive parents, members of the Mennonite community, kept her birth family a secret from her for years. When she arrives in New York and hires a private investigator, she uncovers a web of lies designed to keep her tethered to a life she never chose.

Rebecca Byler shared that as a teenager, her Amish dentist removed all her teeth. It was treated as normal in her world, but the reality raises disturbing questions about bodily autonomy and medical consent within closed communities.

These stories aren’t just reality TV plotlines. They’re a look into how power can hide in plain sight. So what do we call it when tradition becomes control and leaves its members to pick up the traumatic pieces?
