The 36-year-old noted there was not a lot of repercussion for what had happened to her.

“Nobody did anything.”

I guess my mom did do what she could, she admitted before becoming visibly emotional.
She just wanted to move and leave.
She didnt want to deal with it.
She didnt want to talk about it, but she did want to get us out.
And were also in a position of not feeling capable or also feeling helpless," Hough said.
And so, I think now that weve had these conversations, theyve also said those things.
She said they eventually “reconnected” amidher divorce from Brooks Laichin 2020.
And that was the most healing time for us.
Listen to Hough share her story in the video above.
