Two of the 13 children of the California house of horrors couple have given emotional victim impact statements as their parents were sentenced for torturing them for years.
Their statements in court on Friday is the first time the children have spoken publicly since the arrest of their parents David and Louise Turpin in January 2018.
David, 57, and Louise, 50, watched on in tears as their children related the nightmares about being chained and beaten.
'My parents took my whole life from me but now I'm taking my life back,' one of their daughters said.
'I'm in college now and living independently.
'I'm a fighter, I'm strong and I'm shooting through life like a rocket.'
The couple also addressed the court and apologized for harming their 13 children.
The couple pleaded guilty in February to 14 felony counts of abusing and imprisoning their children in their home in Perris, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles.
David Turpin, 57, and his wife Louise, 50, will be sentenced to at least 25 years in prison on Friday
Their sentencing marks the culmination of a horrific case that has played out publicly for almost 16 months after being shrouded in secrecy for decades.
The years of abuse only came to light in January 2018 when David and Louise's 17-year-old daughter Jordan jumped from a window of their filthy home and called 911 on a barely workable cellphone.
The brave teenager's phone call resulted in the 13 Turpin children being freed and landed their parents behind bars.
Following their arrests in January last year, horrific details began to emerge of the extent of torture, abuse and neglect that the children - aged between two and 29 at the time - had endured.
The 13 siblings have remained out of the public eye as their parents' case unfolded in court and they learned to adapt to normal life outside the confines of the house of horrors.
The abuse and neglect was so severe it stunted their children's growth, led to muscle wasting and left two of their daughters unable to bear children.
Before the 17-year-old managed to escape from the home, the Turpin family had lived largely out of view.
David had been an engineer for Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, while his wife Louise was listed as a housewife in a 2011 bankruptcy filing.

They were rarely allowed outside but went out on Halloween and traveled as a family to Disneyland and Las Vegas where David and Louise renewed their wedding vows on multiple occasions
Their home was neatly kept on the outside and neighbors rarely saw the children outside the home.
But what was happening on the inside was a different story.
In the chilling 911 call placed by the 17-year-old daughter, she informed the dispatcher that she and her siblings were being abused and that their home was so filthy she sometimes struggled to breath.
The call lasted for 20 minutes because the girl struggled to work out her address because she had not been outside alone before.
'Okay, I live in a family of 15 people and my parents are abusive. They abuse us and my two little sisters right now are chained up. There's 13 kids and then a mother and a father,' she said in the 911 audio.
She went on to reveal that two of her sisters and one of her brothers were tied to their beds with chains.
When asked for details about her location, the girl said: 'I've never been out. I don't go out much so I don't know anything about the streets or anything.'
The dispatcher then asked if anyone in the
