Three women who were held in a Cleveland home for a decade broke their silence Tuesday, issuing a YouTube video thanking the public for their encouragement and financial support.

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight said that the support of their families, friends, and the public is helping them rebuild their lives after what Berry called "this ordeal" and what Knight called "hell."

"I may have been through hell and back, but I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and my head held high," Knight said. "I will not let the situation define who I am. I will define the situation. I don't want to be consumed by hatred."

Here is the video.

They have been through a lot.

Six months from now, I hope they don't feel used again and every one would understand if they had never made any statements.  I hope their money is in trust too.

God bless them. They all seem very positive. From that alone I feel positive about the future for these ladies.
