Andressa Urach

Andressa Urach, then 15 years of age, started dating Tiago Costa. After dating for three months they moved in together to his home. The couple was blessed with an unmarried baby boy, Arthur Urach Costa born on May 19, 2005. After divorce, the couple split in 2008, following six years of marriage. Andressa moved to the home of her mother along with her son. After six months of separation, she was fired and chose to send her son back to father in order to pursue a life of greater opportunity with her son in Sao Paulo. Being vain as well as a highly self-confident woman, the principal motive for her leaving her home in the South in order to move to Sao Paulo, was in an attempt to achieve fame and fortune. Andressa Urach writes in her memoir Morri Para Viver about the sexual abuse she suffered from her foster father which occurred between the ages of 2 and 8. It was only possible to get rid of all this since her foster grandmother was the one to catch the abuse and Andressa went back to stay with her mother, who did not know about the abuse she endured until Andressa published her book. Andressa said that prior to when she experienced a spiritual awakening she was unable to accept the forgiveness of her abuser. My decision was the most difficult of my entire life. I contacted my former lover who I had victimized sexually by. It was not an easy thing to take on. While I didn't feel guilty, I asked for his forgiveness via phone after a number of prayers. This was a straightforward demand. I did not justify my actions. Mariste Urach, in a piece for Globo tells her story of what she did when she learned of her daughter's harassment. She went to the city of Rio Grande do Sul where the pedophile was a resident to seek the revenge.
