Andressa Urach

Andressa began her relationship with Tiago at the age of 15; they were both at high school. After three months of romance they moved in together to his home. Arthur Urach Costa is the only child to be born to the couple. The birth took place on May 19 2004. Andressa was able to move in with her son at her mother's residence. She lost her job after 6 months and determined to take the son of hers to Sao Paulo to seek a new life. But, since she was vain and very driven, her first purpose in moving into Sao Paulo was to be successful and well-known. Andressa Urach describes in her book Morri Para Viver her experiences with sexual abuse as a child. The author was the victim from age 2 to eight of being abused by her adoptive grandfather. It was only possible to get free of the abuse due to her foster mother's catching the abuse and Andressa went back to stay with her mother. She didn't know about the abuse she suffered until Andressa published her book. In interviews with her, she showed that the task was impossible for her before her conversion. Forgiveness of her abusive partner was an idea she considered unattainable. When I was faced with one of my most difficult decisions, I called my abuser who assaulted me sexually. It was not an easy thing to do. It was not easy. After many times of prayer and fasting, I informed him over the phone I had forgiven him. I didn't feel shamed and pleaded with him to forgive me. My request for forgiveness wasn't justified. Mariste Urach, in an article for Globo, describes the story of how she first learned about her daughter's petty abuse. In an interview with Globo, Mariste Urach shares how she reacted when she found out about the harassment suffered from her child.
