Jordan Turpin Gives Update After Helping Siblings Escape ‘House of Horrors’

Jordan Turpin, who helped her 12 brothers and sisters escape from their abusive home deemed the “House of Horrors,” shared how she is doing four years later.

In an interview with People, Turpin, 23, opened up about her tough year and how she’s been able to get through it.

“Over this last year, I have learned a lot about mental health and everything. It was a really rough year,” she said. “The last few months it’s been really good because I’ve really learned so much about mental health why everything has affected me the way it affected me.”

Turpin’s parents, David and Louise, forced their kids to live in squalor, where they were beaten, starved and shackled to their beds before she escaped through a window on Jan. 14, 2018, according to the New York Post. 

Going to therapy has helped her gain tools to deal with those difficult times.

Turpin shared:

“ coping skills help motivate me to get out of bed. I’ve been sleeping really well, been eating really well. I’ve been eating my three meals a day. I’ve been getting up early, going to bed early. I feel healthy. I feel good.”

Furthermore, the aspiring actress and motivational speaker, per her Instagram bio, who also launched her own merch line called Bravely, explained what she does to get her through her “down days.”

“I get out my journal, and I’ve really just learned to work with my pain. And I have friends and siblings that I can talk to and go to,” she said.

Turpin has also been able to find solace in her four guinea pigs and four dogs, along with her new puppy, Buddy. Earlier this year, she moved into a new home big enough for all of them.
