Nikki DeLoach is pulling back the curtain on her traumatic childhood, including her experience with abuse and the toll it took on her mental and physical health as a teen. "There was physical abuse in my childhood but it was the sexual abuse that really honestly just made me want to disappear," DeLoach, 46, shared during the Thursday, December 11, episode of "Books That Changed My Life" YouTube series. The Hallmark actress explained that Glennon Doyle's Untamed was pivotal in her growth as a woman, partly because it mirrored the harder times she experienced as a child.
