What has Mikayla Matthews said about being abused?
Mikayla has been open about the fact that she was sexually abused in her youth, and that she moved out of her mother’s house at age 15 because she felt her mom silenced and dismissed her experience. “I think I got pregnant literally a year, almost a year exactly after I moved out of my house at 15,” she told People. “And then I'm jumping into now being a mom and raising a kid at 16, 17. I think all that was traumatizing…”
She reveals in the show’s upcoming third season how her sexual trauma has affected her marriage to Jace. “I feel like our sexual relationship has been struggling for a while now,” she says in a sneak peek provided to Parade. “Jace goes out of his way for all my needs. Even though he can bring it up so gently, it almost feels like an attack on me because I know that this is my issue.”
She goes on to say that, despite her progress in therapy, she has a lot of hangups around intimacy. “I feel like it’s starting to become a really big issue in our marriage now,” she says. “Jace is so amazing at taking care of my needs, and I feel really guilty that I can’t do that for him. And I feel like we’re both kind of at this crossroad of we don’t know how to move forward right now.”
What medical conditions does Mikayla from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives struggle with?
Mikayla has bravely shared her battle with chronic illness throughout the show. She has dealt with molluscum contagiosum, thrush and excema, which all affect her skin. Last year, Mikayla took to Instagram during National Eczema Week and shared more about her journey. "The 'confidence' I have in my skin now comes from a place of healing that inner child in me who was so insecure about something that was out of her control," she wrote. While she also struggles with an autoimmune disease, her specific diagnosis has not yet been shared on the show.
