I got 3. Onision controversies, Britney Spears memoir, SSSniperwolf (even if i haven't paid attention to the controversy surrounding her), or it could be something light hearted
is it possible for you to make captions available. I love your content but captions are really important for me to be able to fully access what is being said and portrayed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine losing my brother. We're here for you, and take all the time you need to grieve. We will be here for you but don't feel pressured to make content if you feel you can't! Do what you need to for yourself. We love you!
@@blazingstar9638 exactly. I may not be religious but I hope with all my heart that all is well for her and her family. An end is always room for a new beginning.
I lost my younger brother in 2017. He was the youngest of six and I’m the oldest, so you can imagine the pain. On top of that, he was hit by a car who ran away and he was only 18. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and there’s still days where I wake up crying because he was alive in my dream… my mother has never been the same, honestly my whole family dynamic has completely changed. We will never be the same, but there’s a weird solace in knowing that he’ll never be hurt ever again. I always worry about my siblings, so knowing that one of them is completely safe from harm is oddly comforting. We’re not religious so, in our heads, he’s not in heaven watching over us, but he’s in a truly safe space where harm will never come his way, and he’s stuck in the forever place of an 18 year old boy who loved music, dancing and doing things for others.
This mother resents Rosie. She resents that she isn't a 'normal' child. She resents all the care, time and money that she has to put into Rosie however she can use her as a prop for views. More darkly I feel like she puts Rosie into all these situations where she will catch something, obtain an infection of some kind or something will happen that Rosie will die from then she will have a free conscience and be able to milk it for more views and money. And sorry for your loss my dear ❤
I absolutely believe this. Why else would you go camping in freezing temperatures right after your baby had open heart surgery? She doesn't want that sweet girl, she's trying to passively get rid of her.
It’s giving classic narcissist mom….acting like it’s a “joke” or some kind of silly roast/teasing when really it reveals who she thinks of as her “golden child” and who she considers the scapegoat….
not excusing her behavior at all, this video proves she should not have a platform or custody of her kids at all, but that video was taken out of context. It was early on in her pregnancy and she said she didn’t feel pregnancy symptoms for months that it was much different from her first. They were also moving at the time i believe so explains that a bit. I’ve known people who’ve said they forgot they were preg because of similar reasons. She didn’t continuously call Rosie that. Still horrifying nonetheless and I hope those kids get put with a safe and competent family.
Let’s be real: doing it “alone, all by herself” is not what’s going on here. Single moms doing “everything” alone don’t get 2 weeks out of the month child free to galavant all over creation. She’s getting a significant amount of help whether she wants to admit it or not. If she truly had to go it alone it would be a rude awakening for her. How she behaved when she thought no one was looking says it all. Parenthood is a drag and she sees herself as a babysitter rather than a mother. She only claims motherhood where it garners her attention. This is grim. The only ones suffering are her children
As an actual single mom who did everything alone by myself for 3.5 years of my sons life and lived check to check uninsured in a shitty overpriced apartment with appliances older than me, she can go fuck herself. She’s literally rich and has her kids less than 50% of the time.
Take your time, Madison. I lost my mom eight months ago to a long illness (Alzheimers) and it's still so tough; just watching this reminds me of her...I'm a nonambulatory PWD - I have cerebral palsy - and my mom was the best caretaker/support/cheerleader/fighter I could have ever asked for. Thank you for illuminating this, just like you do with all your content. I'm so sorry for your loss - sending you love and healing thoughts.
Losing a family member is like being gutted over and over and then seemingly randomly.. living with a hole in your chest. I’m sorry that was such a graphic description but I think you probably understand… my pops has Huntington’s, it’s similar to Alzheimer’s, I’m lucky to still have him with me but it’s hard and I’m kind of clinging on because i can’t imagine life without him. No matter how his state of mind is.. I wish you the absolute best life, we were both so lucky to have an amazing parent supporting us. It definitely shows when you’re sharing your pain and kindness to others.. Stay beautiful and stay true❤️
I lost my mom this year too. It’s a pain that’s indescribable. I know you’re mom is still cheering you on, a mothers love never goes away ❤Now all we can do is live life as best as we can to honor the joy we know they’d want us to feel.
I understand all too well,@@lindseyjohnson3577- you're so right, just hoping for those clear moments for them AND you. We ARE both really lucky, thank you for sharing your story, and I'm wishing you, your dad and everyone peace and strength as you go through this journey together...know you have a bunch of pixels here sending love. 🥰
I’m a mommy to one little boy and this makes me so sad. Even in her “explanation” videos they just sound so self centered, she was supposed to be giving her account of the park incident and all she talked about was herself 😢 no mention of how scary it was that her little baby was on top of the van, and how bad she should have felt for letting them get into that situation. So wild.
As a disabled person who my mom battled hard for YEARS to get me the proper care and rights that I need, a mom like Acacia angers me SO BAD!! Being disabled is already hard enough with lack of understanding from society, lack of information, tons of bureaucracy and lack of accessibility to proper doctors, a mother should be there for her child
I’m also disabled. And I completely agree. People with disabilities are always going to be here, so I really wish that there could be things made a bit easier for us. And people stop stigmatizing people with them. And Rosie definitely 100% deserves better parents who give her the care that she deserves.
Not disabled, unless you count my narcolepsy, but kids who have disabilities should never be treated like this cause like you said they will always be here, and doesn't make them any less of a person. They deserve a good quality of life and to be treated like a normal freaking person! This type of shit heats me up.
Right? Mental health and trauma are NO excuse to 1- be an asshole 2- be a bad parent. I have AuDHD and was diagnosed with Autism around 20 something but my mother, a single mother who went through DA and FOUGHT TO COME OUT ON TOP(now about to graduate as LPN and I am so so so proud), was UNDIAGNOSED FOR YEARS and she gave me everything I needed AND WAY MORE. She worked her ASS off and protected me as a "gifted kid". I am CHILDLESS AT 27 AND CANNOT EVEN FATHOM DOING THIS TO CHILDREN IN GENERAL LIKE NOT EVEN MY OWN. I am so ANGRY! Sending light and love to those poor babies. THE TRUTH AND LOVE WINS. Every time.
@@reinasherman8009 if it’s chronic and affects your life enough to impair daily function yes it is a disability, stoma bags and the like are classed as disabilities as well
My daughter is in early intervention and I don't pay anything. When your child is under 3 they are eligible....this is pure neglect and it makes me sick especially being a mother I can't imagine not doing everything I can to provide for my child.
Hi, I am an adult with agenesis of the corpus callosum . Every kid is different. We may not reach milestones quickly, but we still end up most of the time making them . Physical and Speech therapy IS NEEDED. Regardless, Rosie was still a baby and babies need extra care.
So, her shaving her kids head reminded me I had friends that were "too mentally ill" to be allowed to have anything but a bowl cut growing up, even when we were in highschool and they absolutely were more than capable of maintaining their hair. I think that's just an excuse abusive parents use to dehumanize their children with bad haircuts.
I've never been good at taking care of my hair. My mom used to cut it very short as a child and I hated it. She certainly didn't put any effort in finding tools, or low effort ways to take care of my hair. As an adult, I have proved I am able to take care of my hair. I have found ways to take care of my hair with minimal effort. I have a straightener that is literally just a big hot brush that I run through it. And these have existed for a long time. She could have helped me but she didn't. Acacia reminds me a lot of my own mother
@@sejongunniespistolmy First girl is a Nightmare with scalp sensitivity, She used to scream and bite sometimes. After two years I decided to start cutting it shorter, but still long enough that we can tie it in a pony tail or pigtails. I did phantasize about cutting it really short to avoid drama, but She didn't want to and I understood that obvs. She is now 6and we haven't cut the lenghts in a year, She can brush it herself mostly, and now hugs me tight when I do it, to endure it Better. It's not Easy, but it's not the end of the world either. I wouldn't put a straightener trhough her hair, but I tried alllll the brushes and sprays.
"i'm being abused at home so thats why i decided to take my kids to the park and leave my kids alone and unsafe while i go take selfies and play pretend on social media" yea acacia..... that def makes sense
As someone born with a heart condition, I am so grateful my parents treated me with the utmost care and love. My whole family loves me and never let my disabilities impact the way they treat me. I wish Rosie had a better family.
I was born with a heart condition too (Tetrogy of Fallot!) and I’ve had 2 open heart surgeries and after hearing things like how Rosie is treated, it makes me extra grateful for a loving family. Im so glad your family is good to you too! Us zipper club members have to stick together! 🤍
there are various signs of mental health struggles... one that stands out to me is the need to always find a new self- it's this struggle of identity that I know from BPD ... the sexual trauma, the seemingly very harsh cuts in her life, always needing to get validation from an audience, history of selfharm, intense relationships, desperately trying to uphold and image... I know all that from BPD now I'm not a therapist so I won't diagnose her but I want to say I relate! And what helped me is cutting off the exterior validation (aka social media) and going to DBT therapy... geeze I feel like I'm always commenting this BUT SHE NEEDS THERAPY!
Her parenting: abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. Those children, my heart break for, but especially that sweet innocent Rosie, and as a mother, I could throw up- this is insanity. God she’s so horrible and literally has excuses for everything she does. This absolutely is neglectful because it is neglect. I literally do not understand. So sad.
As a disabled person myself, I had my Mum fighting every step of the way for my whole life. She did much of it as a single Mum. I call BS on her being such a poor example of a parent to those wee kid. How sad. And maddening. My Mum would lose her crap if she watched this.
It’s sad to see that Acacia took a good step in taking her kids off the internet but yet creating content still takes priority over them. It actually might be worse in her case if she has to make content without them if she’s gonna walk off into a forest and neglect them to do so. At least when they were on camera she was somewhat paying attention to them. So sad 😞
this comment reminds me of something Ruby Frankie said on camera, that “vlogging makes her a better mom because she can see herself being too harsh and tone it down, holds her accountable” but we all saw how that ended 😬
I’m so sorry to learn about the loss of your brother from the last video. I hope you’re doing as okay as you can ❤ he’ll always be with you, but god it’s awful and I’m so sorry. Really pumped about this part, I watched the last video twice 😂 thank you for your dedication, and please take the time you need to grieve whenever you need to, grief is ugly and weird. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace. You are cared about ❤
@@cruelworldhappymindyou are a very strong young lady sometimes life just throws a curve and I hope you heal day by day. You are such a lovely person❤❤❤ and we all love you
My heart breaks for you. I lost my sister when she was 28. My husband and I raised her daughter as our own. It took me a year to even start feeling some sense of normalcy. Give yourself time. I know how painful it is. Sending much love. 💖
Acacia’s excuse for going to the woods was to go cry. She forgot to mention that she brought her Nintendo with her and took photos for SM. 👀 So 🧢 And what a privilege to have to be negligent towards your children and not lose custody. There are horror stories of children being taken by CPS even when the parent(s) isn’t negligent.
I lost my mother last year the day my son came home from NICU. The grief we feel is evidence of the love they gave us. Do not stop yourself from crying on the floor when it hits you. Sending the largest hug to you. May he rest in peace. 🤍
I was so disappointed bc it’s my birthday today and I had NOTHING to watch… you just made my whole day 😢😅❤ I’m incredibly sorry to hear about your brother- and although I’m just a stranger on the internet and I’m sure my words won’t help, I just wanted to say I know your brother is rooting for you and the continuance of your work that helps many others on your UA-cam channel. It’s hard and honestly this piece of you will likely never heal, but at least you can go on knowing he’s proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story and the stories of others who find struggles in the world. I wish you all the love and support from this stranger on the internet ❤
@@cruelworldhappymind ugh thank you for your comment - I’ve watched you ever since you started your channel I’m kind of fangirling bc you wished me a HBD 🎂 But seriously - you are a wonderful person and I hope you know all of your viewers are right behind you on your healing journey 🫶❤️ you have a whole army of strangers on the internet who support you! I wanted to ask you if you ever cover true crime injustices? If so, I have a topic I’ve been emailing other people in TC space but I haven’t heard anything… I wanted to ask you but I wasn’t sure if you’d cover something like this. It’s just something that desperately needs eyes on it or else I’m terrified of the outcome 😞 it involves some people I knew in high school and I always knew they were bad news. Please let me know if you’re interested and maybe I can email you? And even if you agree to email me it doesn’t mean you have to do it, I promise not to hold you to it!
I was abused and neglected as a kid and it’s harsh but I am not having children because I just know in my heart that I could not emotionally support them in the way that they need and deserve.
Honestly? It’s more admirable to do the self-reflection and realize you don’t have the bandwidth to properly take care of a child than have one because you’re culturally supposed to. We treat children like property and then are surprised when they’re not well-adjusted adults. Good on you for not continuing the cycle
Yes, I was also neglected by my mother and abused by my stepfather when I was a toddler. It's the main reason why I decided to never have kids. My PTSD is really bad, along with other mental health issues. I would never want a child to deal with my mental health and grow up to be an adult who struggles like me. If I had kids in my 20's like everyone wanted me to, they would have lived in a broken home and went through my addiction. I've made a lot of mistakes in life, but deciding to never have children is the best thing I could have done for myself. And I'm sure it's the case for you as well. I'm in my mid 30's and I STILL have people asking me if I'm gonna have kids 😑 it's annoying as hell.
Omg screaming at the fact that you used some clips from my tiktoks! I love your channel! I was gonna do a full deep dive of acacia on tiktok, but her stans kept mass reporting my account and I didn’t want it to get deleted 😭
I am so sorry about losing your brother. I'm an only child but I could not even imagine! *I actually just lost my aunt myself at 4am last Sunday.* 🥺😔 You are and always have been BEYOND strong, emotionally and mentally. You should be proud of yourself. The fact you are even still working while "working" through the grief proves even moreso of who you are: a very strong MOTHER. Your daughter will be so proud of you and admire you as the rest of us do. Take care, Madison. 💙
@cruelworldhappymind oh , wow. thankyou so much. 🩵💙 she was sick for a while , on the lung transplant waiting list , and somehow still managed to be the one happy , making US , the family , feel strong. If there's a heaven up there , I hope she is doing the same for your brother. 🥹🩵 And she was very funny, so he'll be laughing 🤭🥲
@simplynautica3233 thankyou. 🩵💙 now me reading THAT was sweet. 😊 i hope i can feel her too. she always knew how to make you laugh & smile no matter what mood. 🥲😔 thankyou again for taking the time to read this , and commenting. 🩵💙
This woman is really something else! I had a family member who ended up needing to get her daughter different therapies because she had a muscular issue. It wasn’t cerebral palsy, but it was something similar. She got her daughter in speech, occupational, and physical therapys really early, and I really think it had an extremely positive impact. And this is a family member who at the time had pretty low income. In my opinion, what Acacia did is absolutely neglectful. Also, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish you the best, and I hope you have a lot of support during this time. as someone who has also lost someone, I know that it takes time, and I hope you have comfort while you are healing.
Edit: I rewatched for about the third time and the feeding tube didn’t go in until after the surgery so nevermind. I was born disabled and had a feeding tube for a long time. My mom said we went on exactly one trip when I had to tube, left early and then never did it again due to how difficult it was to manage. I wasn’t allowed to stay with family or anything because they couldn’t feed me properly. If I had to guess, Rosie’s weight loss is a result of improper management of her tube.
I've known this Acacia girl for far too long. She's neglected one of her kids in the past. She was young, naive, and still had to chase after her dreams in life. In her early 20s she became a mom, but I have a feeling she may have regretted not taking the time to make such a huge and impactful decision that would likewise drastically change the whole course of he life.
She wasn’t in her 20s when she became a mother, she got pregnant when she was 18. After years of severely neglecting and giving away several pets. These poor children never had a chance
Also, as someone who was a very special needs child, both my mom and i having chronic illnesses, it would DESTROY us to be "adventuring" not even a week after a surgery/procedure. I , myself , just earlier this year was put into a medically induced coma for 1O days , suffering from another extreme bout of pneumonia. Was on life support , nasal feeding tube for a week , IVs in my neck , etc. It is November O1st and I *STILL* am having trouble breathing and my stamina is poor. Can you imagine a toddler , who just had *OPEN HEART SURGERY* "GOING CAMPING?!?!" 😢 Please someone save that poor child! All of them, actually! 🥺
@@sukiBambina aww , thankyou, mi amor. 🩵💙 i'm trying to get there. i'm on at-home oxygen but using it less and less and can walk and carry "heavy" things much more than i could. that was so sweet for you to leave this comment and you just made my entire say. ☺️😊 thankyou, love. 🩵
Super lame that in the "i am here to stay" apology(?) she didn't even acknowledge that she did anything wrong, even if she felt she had an excuse for it. Her not taking accountability makes me think she doesn't and won't care if anything happens. She's not actively trying to take care of her kids better imo. I don't want to assume the worst but part of me really thinks that if something bad happened to one of her kids, she would just milk it for content even if she didn't care at all.
What acacia doesn’t say speaks louder than what she does say. Acacias lack of consideration for her own children in her explanation/non-apology video tells you all you need to know about how little she cares about her children. I just hope they are in the care of someone who actually loves them and takes care of them. She never deserved those kids and they always deserved better than the mother they got.
I lost my older brother when I was 14, the intro definitely hit hard. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤Take care of yourself, I know it's so hard to be there for your family after such a thing
I lost my older brother when I was 14 as well.. Such a life altering experience for that to happen during those formative years. Take care, you are not alone ❤
Acacia reminds me so much of my stepdaughter’s mom. Manipulating situations to make herself the victim to not take accountability for her actions. Also, I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s so difficult to process and grieve the loss of such a close loved one. Wishing you the best 💕
Being a mom myself, this whole situation makes me absolutely sick for the children! They didn’t ask for all Acacia’s problems but they do deserve to be loved and PROPERLY cared for. If she can’t give them that then she needs to do the right thing and get help for their sake.
You probably won’t see this, but I am a grief/trauma therapist. I hope you have someone you can talk to about your brother. It sounds like he was deeply loved by you. Let yourself grieve when you need; there is no timeline or normal expression for this. You will find ways to honor him and his memory and it will help you heal. ❤ I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
Madison, my heart goes out to you. When I lost my dad, I felt that “is this real” feeling so hard as well. Please know that you are so deeply appreciated, respected, and just so inspiring with the amazing content that you obviously spend SO much time and effort to produce. Your realness, humanity, and truly caring nature comes through in all of your work. I have so enjoyed watching your channel grow over the years. Thank you so so SO much, you are proof that kind humans still do exist in this world.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my younger brother last year and the pain is unlike anything I've ever felt before. I can imagine what you're going through and how your feeling.
I lost my older sister in 2018. We share the same birthday, 16yrs apart. I'm finally able to talk about it but I still HATE our birthday, it's so hard!! Just drags on my soul. I wish you both the best hun.
Your words about your brother broke my heart. I'm going through grief process myself and I admire your strength. Your brother, wherever he is, is so proud of you!
its so awful. neglect is awful- i was neglected, and there is no competition between the children and the neglect they all are experiencing simultaneously, but rosie.. its especially awful. i have a disabled older sister, and although still neglected my parents made sure she was in different therapies, groups, and activities. acacia has absolutely robbed rosie. as stated in the video, early intervention makes such a difference. where would rosie be? it’s so incredibly unfair that acacia, who was in a position to truly provide for rosie, just… didn’t, all while showing obvious distain for her. we don’t know where rosie could have been, but when living with disabilities, any little thing to make life a bit easier to live is valuable and acacia completely robbed her of so many of the “could’ve-s”
i used to always defend acacia and her parenting when rosie was born, when creators like sloan were making tons of videos about her. i can't believe i was so invested that i looked past all the bs, the bad parenting, the neglect.. i hope her children are thriving now that they're offline. i still can't believe that park/van situation happened. it makes me feel sick to see that baby on top of a CAR with acacia nowhere in sight, not even to mention rosie being left on the blanket roadside. legitimately unbelievable. imagine being those babies and growing up to see how your childhood neglect became an internet scandal..
Not only that, but how slowly acacia was walking out of the forest. No sense of urgency she likely didn’t even see her kid on top of the roof. It’s a miracle he didn’t fall off and crack his skull open. Had she walked back any minute later that may have been the case.
@@teresitaperegrina3741 the most casual “hey what are you doing” to him as if he were playing on a jungle gym or something, you’re right when you say absolutely no urgency on her part
I’m sorry but how could you defend her very poor parenting of her second child? Not trying to attack you or anything just curious of how this could be. Didn’t you think it was wild how she’d dress up her oldest daughter appropriately for cold weather while her second disabled daughter wore very little?
I lost my mom this year too- don’t lose yourself in work in order not to feel the grief. You deserve to honor your pain, and you’re so strong for handling this while having your own family to stay strong for. I know I don’t know you, but I love your content and I’d be so proud of you if you were my family. He’s definitely still with you, cheering on your success. Just like all of us are! Take your time, and we will support whatever you do.
There's more?! Thank you, Madison! You are one of my absolute favorites on this platform. EDIT: My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. Please give yourself grace.
I lost my uncle unexpectedly this month, and just celebrated the one year anniversary of my aunts death. I am so, so sorry for your loss I can only imagine a fraction of your pain. I appreciate your content, thank you for finding the strength to do this.
It is heartbreaking to hear what Rosie has to go through. I truly hope she gets taken care of, by someone else. This little girl deserves better parents. How could you let your *own* child live like this?
Madison I’m sorry about your brother. I’m hugging you in my heart and praying for peace and comfort during this time. Thank you for making such well-produced content. I truly can’t imagine how much time goes into it!
A girl my sister went to school with used to pride herself as a “milf” then she lost custody of her daughter. She deleted all pics of her daughter and started an OF. She deletes any comments of people asking how her daughter is.
We will see her kids on the news except it will be the police searching for a missing child or finding one of them dead. I hope not but i see it coming if the courts dont step in asap. I am so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier but just take it one day at a time hun. ❤ Sending you love & support 💕
That whole comment of "is this what the world is coming to?" Is so stupid. That was one situation of a neglectful parent. There have always been neglectful parents. It's not a "Gen z" problem ffs. And I'm a millenial not Gen z.
I hate that the world blames everything on gen z when most of us don’t even have kids. It’s actually older generations that have children just bc it was “just a thing you do when you get married” and turn to neglecting and or abusing their kids bc their parents neglected /abused them as kids. So they just thought it was a healthy parenting style.
I’m so glad you mentioned not wanting to speculate too heavily on Rosie’s medical needs! I have so many issues with Acacia and her parenting for obvious reasons, but a close friend of mine as well as her now 4 year old daughter both have Alagille syndrome. It always bothers me when people blame Acacia for Rosie’s low weight when, yes it COULD be Acacia but my friends daughter is now 4 years old and still wearing age 12 month clothes, she’s also often on medication that makes her weight fluctuate drastically; it happens! Her mum is her biggest advocate, being someone with the same condition and although Acacia could be a problem, i don’t think that’s a definite… I just hate seeing people who know little to nothing about the condition make such huge claims when in reality, we know nothing. There’s so many things to call Acacia out for, but this always bothers me. Again, thank you for not going too heavy on that subject, sending you so much love during this hard time. You’re so so loved 🤍
I think there are some people who would blame acacia for her weight because she said in a blog that she & her ex went against their doctors recommendation of a feeding tube in order to try a special diet. They had her doing the special diet for quite a long time, a year at least, with no progress. Then she went into the hospital for emergency heart surgery & gained weight during the hospital stay. When the hospital stay ended, that’s when they went on the camping trip immediately
I really appreciate the 'internet acquintances' part of your intro. Because we don't really know each other, and I haven't watched all your vids, though quite a few. It's a lovely way to not work towards anything parasocial.
Hey, I wasn’t really sure if it was my place to share, but when I was 21 I went through an extremely similar experience and lost my brothers and I just want to say that whatever way you grieve is the right way. If that means you’re posting more than usual as a distraction, or if it means you go into a shell for a month or three or a year. Whatever you need to do to cope with this is totally understandable, as long as you’re actively processing and healing. Never feel like you’re taking up too much space with your grief, because honestly you don’t understand what I went through with my grief, and nobody understands what you’re going through with your grief. Lean as much as you can on your support system, lean as much as you want on your supporters. You’re so strong, and you’re going to persevere to a new normal one day, but you’re allowed to be strong and in grief. Stay strong 💕
Growing up in an abusive house has been one of the biggest factors as to why I don't want to have kids. I'm afraid I would pass on to them the same shit that happened to me.
I felt bad for her in the beginning. I empathized with how hard it is being a solo mom. But seeing the evidence against her speaks volumes. She is clearly incapable of putting her children first, and will create whatever narrative she needs in order to support her manipulation
She just seems perpetually 16. She clearly doesn't even have the maturity to understand the commitment of caring for a pet, let alone the reality of raising children. She just seems like a teenager playing dolls, it's truly terrifying to me that she has three kids
She acts like her children are pets. She hat like 10 cats and 6 dogs and other animals in her life and got rid of them one or two years after getting them. And now her family fantasy got boring and she got rid of her kids
Oh my goodness Madison I am so deeply sorry for your loss! The love of a sibling is one like no other. Grief is an incredible burden to bear, and you deserve to go about it in whatever way you need to. If that means it would be helpful for you to continue making videos, so be it. If that means you need to take a break from UA-cam, so be it. Your community is absolutely behind you in whatever you need to do for your well-being during this time. If you need to step away and take some personal time, I don’t think a single one of us would hold it against you or think you left us or anything. Take care of yourself, we love you, and we support you ✨💖
So sorry for your loss. Lost my brother in law at 24 and my father to un-aliving and it never gets easier. Gotta keep moving forward being mindful they're watching over me and living life like they were unable to 💔. Side note: so happy you popped back up on my feed. Stupid YT algorithm made you and alot of others disappear. I was watching you when you hardly had any subscribers and were filming in your dining room/kitchen. So happy you don't exploit your child like so many tend to do. Keep going girl! You're awesome.
As a future OT I’m so glad you mentioned therapy services for Rosie. That’s something insurance could cover and Rosie and Acacia could both benefit from. OTs can also provide caregiver education to Acacia for her to learn all she needs to provide Rosie a safe, healthy quality of life. It’s really a shame to see this occurring when so much should be done to protect these kids :(
So wait, she went to cry about her situation, but also just so happened to take a selfie where she didn’t look teary whatsoever and which had significant setup? Alright.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your brother - I can't even fathom how rough it must be. Take as much time as needed to grieve, we'll be around regardless. ❤
I lost my brother to a car accident a few years ago and it still feels like yesterday. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it's hard to get through and I appreciate you sharing your story.
I got a feeling that the censorship in these videos is getting out of hand. Censoring the "trigger" words for the sake of the algorithm mostly doesn't work anyway, so what's the point? The videos with topics of rape, abuse, etc, doesn't get the same ads, no matter if you censor the words or not. It's just making the video really hard to listen to, because every other word is cut in the middle like if the audio was lagging.
I am so very sorry for your loss. My brother and I are very close as well, and the thought of him or any of my friends and family leaving this earth terrifies the absolute crap out of me. It cannot be easy one bit, although I can't imagine what you're going through ❤ Sending so much love and support your way. Love you ❤
She is the perfect example of a character you learn about in writers class. The villain is never purely bad, and the hero is never purely a saint, for then it'd be boring to read about. Nobody is 100% good or bad. She can be a victim and a villain at the same time. In fact, the two faces probably gave her even more views and income boost.
Thank you SO much for uploading while going through this difficult time, it truly does not go unnoticed. However, take some time to process things and grieve, we’ll still be here whenever you bless us with a new video ❤️❤️❤️
As someone who got out of an abusive household and away from my abusive mother, I felt the deepest empathy for her when I found out about her situation from your first video on her. However, I also foresaw this happening; her becoming the mirror image of the same monsters that put her in the spot she's in. Even in your other video, even though she was the victim she was still showing signs of narcissism manifesting and there wasn't any serious mention of therapy or psychiatric help. People with unresolved childhood trauma (and this is especially true for women because of how emotional trauma manifests in them) very often reenact the same trauma on their kids unless they're treated for that trauma first. This was simply a predestined conclusion.
We are so sorry for your great loss. Please don't feel pressured to do more than feels natural. Though there is ultimately healing (as a part of the process) through your passion and career built on making a better space on YT, there is a time when momentum comes back. Your healing must come first. It's not self-indulgent, but a necessity. 💐🌺🌸⚘
I’m so sorry. I lost my brother 10 years ago. The pain will lessen, but the hole in your heart will never heal. And thank you for taking charge of your experiences and creating excellent content. ❤❤❤
Although in hindsight calling Rosie “the forgotten baby” is awful, I do want people to understand that it was when she was pregnant and I think often times second children, especially if the pregnancy is going smoothly especially in the beginning, you can still be so focused on your first child’s needs that you sometimes forget you’re pregnant. Again, not excusing neglecting Rosie after birth, but at the time, that phrasing was not a red flag for me. And sometimes I dislike taking things like that and using it in the narrative after the fact even if it’s another bullet point in hindsight because I think people who are good parents should be able to joke around like that without feeling bad about it. Does that make sense? Trying to be nuanced here
I tend to think ppl like this always expose themselves & tell on themselves. We often wrte it off as just a joke but often after some time we see that it hits too close to home. The writing is on the wall but we get to close to read what it says.
I feel so enraged and disgusted. I want to vomit. There is no excuse for making her babies suffer so much. I hate the pain of innocence. I would never dream of treating my son this way. What kind of mother could do that? May they be taken from her and they be able to stay together in a more suitable safe home away from her and her family. I hope she loses her online platforms as well. All children deserve good parents, but not all parents deserve to have children.
When people suddenly decide to “open up” about certain things that garner sympathy when they’re called out for horrible things they’ve done, and they use those stories to gloss over confronting what THEY DID, I don’t really care what they have to say. When people cry for themselves and when it benefits them, they don’t deserve sympathy. We need to not just “believe everyone” who makes a claim and cries about it, we need to use our critical thinking and instincts bc the worst people of society are also victims at some point, and they also absolutely use the sympathy of others to escape accountability and manipulate others. She’s a mom, no situation she’s in excuses behaving that way. She’s full of it.
I just want to add I remember watching those “apology” videos if you want to call it that, and thinking are those children’s toys she’s fiddling with? Up until that point she hasn’t had a hint or a clue that she has kids then all of a sudden she’s sitting playing with a kids toy as she talks about the park incident… I noticed that right away and honestly I found it so weird and maybe even manipulative
I assumed they were her “fidget toys” as she loves to claim her “ ‘tism “ when she gets called out. She brings out her list of diagnoses so ppl can pity her. It did seem calculated “look at me needing the fidget toy as i talk about my trauma”.
My heart aches for your loss. I hope that those around you are providing you with the love, care, and support that you need and deserve through this. We love your videos and I have so much respect that you want to keep creating through your grief, just remember to always put your own mental health before us. We will wait and support you if you need a break at any time. 💛
Glad to hear you're doing your best. Losing someone is hard. I lost my dad just over a week ago, and I'm still reeling. Nothing makes sense, nothing feels right, and nothing will ever be the same. If you have any advice for someone else who is grieving, I would be grateful to hear it.
I was speechless when you said poor Rosie weighed 11lbs at one year of age. That’s literally the weight of a one-month old baby. I don’t understand why CPS didn’t step in, especially as she was gaining weight at the hospital? That’s just unreal to me. Thank you for discussing this important case. I didn’t know this creator at all, but I don’t watch family vlog channels as I refuse to support the exploitation of innocent children. I’m so sorry for the loss of your little brother. I can’t even begin to imagine how you’re feeling right now. Please take all the time you need to heal ❤
dealing with a loss of such a close family member at such a young age... madison, take all the time you need to grieve and heal. i wish you nothing but the best
I lost my brother 3 weeks ago and I feel like I was meant to come across this video. I’m so sorry that you are experiencing what I am right now. I have never felt a pain comparable to this. Hearing how much you loved your brother and loving each other through trauma made me feel a little less alone. So thank you for sharing your grief with us ❤
Thank you for becoming my new favorite channel recently. Your views and voice are extremely powerful. You know how to use your platform correctly and do not abuse it. It’s so refreshing to watch someone who just actually cares and has a heart. Thank you for everything you do.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. As an older sister, I started tearing up at your tears. May he rest in peace, and May you heal in peace. His memory will never be lost.
As a mom myself, the park incident angered me on so many levels, who would just leave their kids unattended like that and especially a baby who has a disability?! 😡
Someone who couldn’t be bothered with her kids anymore that’s who. I don’t think she wants to be a mom anymore if that’s the case she needs to call CPS on herself
Oh Madison. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in May and you're right. It doesn't feel real. And sometimes it's just really really hard. I'm proud of you for choosing to not let the grief consume you because I know that's not always the easiest choice. Your brother would be proud of you for carrying on this legacy. But if you ever need a break, take the break. I know we don't chat like in the discord days but I still very much love your content and care about your own well being because you're truly a great genuine person I'm lucky to have stumbled upon in 2020! Now I'm actually going to watch the rest of this video bc I already know it's damn good! ❤
Crying with you baby ❤ I lost my youngest brother almost 3 years ago and it's so hard not to become consumed. We appreciate you and your content. Best wishes💕
It is very sad to see that Acacia, after suffering in her childhood, decided to inflict that pain on her children as well 😞 I am also so sorry for your loss ❤️ Take care of yourseld and if you need to take time away, that is completely understandable ❤ no one truly understands the bond between siblings like the siblings do that is for sure and my heart aches for you ❤
I’m so sorry for the loss of your younger brother. I’m crying as I write this and I just hope you know how much your content means to me and how thankful I am you are continuing to post videos. As a bigger sister my self I imagine what you must be going through and my tears shed are for that reason. We love you, or I love you and I’m sure your brother loves you so much. May you have his love and the love you have for him in your heart and carry it with you always 💜
I’m so sorry for your loss. It takes time to heal from the loss of a loved one, especially one you’ve shared experiences with that no one else could understand. That creates a special connection. I’m sending you my deepest sympathies and support. I lost my sister a year ago this coming Thanksgiving. My sister was 7 years older than me and she saved me from an abusive family member when I was in grade school, as well as helped encourage me in my early recovery from RX drug addiction. I have 15 years of recovery now. At the time my sister had been in AA and had 20+ years of sobriety, when she stopped going to meetings and started drinking again within a year of stopping meetings. She was back to her old drinking habits within weeks and she ultimately died from complications related to alcoholism. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s painful. As for Acacia, she lives in the same town as my 21 year old daughter who is a university student there. My daughter and I checked her neighborhood within a 5 mile radius for predators who are on the registry for sexual offenders. There’s quite a few. I can’t imagine letting my child out of my sight at a public place. When our daughter was little, I was always within her line of sight and vice versa when we went to the park, kids play rooms (Bouncy Castle places), Chuck E. Cheese, or her dance class. I could easily be there for her within seconds. There’s no excuse for her behavior at the park.
God I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Losing your family is so difficult, I lost my cousin a few years ago and we were so close and I miss her every day. Sending you so much love
I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing one of my little brothers. Take care of yourself and give yourself time and sympathy, don't try to rush yourself.
I've been watching your videos for awhile now but this one hit me like a brick wall. Talking about your younger brother brought me to tears. I grew up in a destructive cult and my older brother died at such a young age because my family was involved in a very harmful group. You make such great videos and I hope you keep up the good works you are producing.
Sorry for the second comment but for some reason it wouldn't let me edit the first. What no one is pointing out is the fact that she was not in the tree line crying- she was taking pictures of her boobs and playing on her switch while posting on her social media. Not a tear on that little face. Somebody needs to take those kids. Yesterday. Hopefully once the social worker sees through her BS, that's exactly what will happen.
While I lost my mom this year, I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. Know that you are allowed to take time for yourself to heal and reflect if that’s what you need. ❤
Thank you to Brittni and Irene for sharing their stories, and being incredible humans!! What videos would you like to see next?
SSSniperWolf fiasco
I got 3. Onision controversies, Britney Spears memoir, SSSniperwolf (even if i haven't paid attention to the controversy surrounding her), or it could be something light hearted
You fighting back tears has me in tears 😭💔
andrew tate >:( ugh
is it possible for you to make captions available. I love your content but captions are really important for me to be able to fully access what is being said and portrayed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine losing my brother. We're here for you, and take all the time you need to grieve. We will be here for you but don't feel pressured to make content if you feel you can't! Do what you need to for yourself. We love you!
Oh gosh😢 keep her and her family in your prayers 🙏❤️🥺
@@blazingstar9638 exactly. I may not be religious but I hope with all my heart that all is well for her and her family. An end is always room for a new beginning.
I lost my younger brother in 2017. He was the youngest of six and I’m the oldest, so you can imagine the pain. On top of that, he was hit by a car who ran away and he was only 18. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and there’s still days where I wake up crying because he was alive in my dream… my mother has never been the same, honestly my whole family dynamic has completely changed. We will never be the same, but there’s a weird solace in knowing that he’ll never be hurt ever again. I always worry about my siblings, so knowing that one of them is completely safe from harm is oddly comforting. We’re not religious so, in our heads, he’s not in heaven watching over us, but he’s in a truly safe space where harm will never come his way, and he’s stuck in the forever place of an 18 year old boy who loved music, dancing and doing things for others.
🙌🏾
Agreed, sending so much love ❤
This mother resents Rosie. She resents that she isn't a 'normal' child. She resents all the care, time and money that she has to put into Rosie however she can use her as a prop for views.
More darkly I feel like she puts Rosie into all these situations where she will catch something, obtain an infection of some kind or something will happen that Rosie will die from then she will have a free conscience and be able to milk it for more views and money.
And sorry for your loss my dear ❤
It’s truly so upsetting to see, the pattern is undeniable at this point. And thank you love 💜
I’ve thought that from day one. She definitely wants something to happen to Rosie and be free of the “burden”
I absolutely believe this. Why else would you go camping in freezing temperatures right after your baby had open heart surgery? She doesn't want that sweet girl, she's trying to passively get rid of her.
…….That second paragraph might be a little insane….
I'm not saying you're right, I'm just saying I also had that thought, especially when she left her daughter with mobility issues beside the road.
The fact that she keeps calling Rosie the "forgotten baby" is SO upsetting 😡💔
I know. She probably thinks it’s funny but I absolutely hate it
She's even acknowledging that she doesn't take care of her as well but thinks it's funny ???
@@Brettzky9991 Yeah. By saying that, she’s self aware but clearly doesn’t do anything to make sure Rosie is okay
It’s giving classic narcissist mom….acting like it’s a “joke” or some kind of silly roast/teasing when really it reveals who she thinks of as her “golden child” and who she considers the scapegoat….
not excusing her behavior at all, this video proves she should not have a platform or custody of her kids at all, but that video was taken out of context. It was early on in her pregnancy and she said she didn’t feel pregnancy symptoms for months that it was much different from her first. They were also moving at the time i believe so explains that a bit. I’ve known people who’ve said they forgot they were preg because of similar reasons. She didn’t continuously call Rosie that. Still horrifying nonetheless and I hope those kids get put with a safe and competent family.
Let’s be real: doing it “alone, all by herself” is not what’s going on here. Single moms doing “everything” alone don’t get 2 weeks out of the month child free to galavant all over creation. She’s getting a significant amount of help whether she wants to admit it or not. If she truly had to go it alone it would be a rude awakening for her. How she behaved when she thought no one was looking says it all. Parenthood is a drag and she sees herself as a babysitter rather than a mother. She only claims motherhood where it garners her attention. This is grim. The only ones suffering are her children
As an actual single mom who did everything alone by myself for 3.5 years of my sons life and lived check to check uninsured in a shitty overpriced apartment with appliances older than me, she can go fuck herself. She’s literally rich and has her kids less than 50% of the time.
Take your time, Madison. I lost my mom eight months ago to a long illness (Alzheimers) and it's still so tough; just watching this reminds me of her...I'm a nonambulatory PWD - I have cerebral palsy - and my mom was the best caretaker/support/cheerleader/fighter I could have ever asked for. Thank you for illuminating this, just like you do with all your content. I'm so sorry for your loss - sending you love and healing thoughts.
Hope you’re doing okay @chrissyeff ❤️ I’m sorry for your loss ❤️
Thank you so so much,@@nicolewoolford5240- we all take it day by day.
Losing a family member is like being gutted over and over and then seemingly randomly.. living with a hole in your chest. I’m sorry that was such a graphic description but I think you probably understand… my pops has Huntington’s, it’s similar to Alzheimer’s, I’m lucky to still have him with me but it’s hard and I’m kind of clinging on because i can’t imagine life without him. No matter how his state of mind is..
I wish you the absolute best life, we were both so lucky to have an amazing parent supporting us. It definitely shows when you’re sharing your pain and kindness to others.. Stay beautiful and stay true❤️
I lost my mom this year too. It’s a pain that’s indescribable. I know you’re mom is still cheering you on, a mothers love never goes away ❤Now all we can do is live life as best as we can to honor the joy we know they’d want us to feel.
I understand all too well,@@lindseyjohnson3577- you're so right, just hoping for those clear moments for them AND you. We ARE both really lucky, thank you for sharing your story, and I'm wishing you, your dad and everyone peace and strength as you go through this journey together...know you have a bunch of pixels here sending love. 🥰
I’m a mommy to one little boy and this makes me so sad. Even in her “explanation” videos they just sound so self centered, she was supposed to be giving her account of the park incident and all she talked about was herself 😢 no mention of how scary it was that her little baby was on top of the van, and how bad she should have felt for letting them get into that situation. So wild.
Taking accountability for your actions? Being a good person? What’s that when you can lie?
😪😪
As a disabled person who my mom battled hard for YEARS to get me the proper care and rights that I need, a mom like Acacia angers me SO BAD!!
Being disabled is already hard enough with lack of understanding from society, lack of information, tons of bureaucracy and lack of accessibility to proper doctors, a mother should be there for her child
I’m also disabled. And I completely agree. People with disabilities are always going to be here, so I really wish that there could be things made a bit easier for us. And people stop stigmatizing people with them. And Rosie definitely 100% deserves better parents who give her the care that she deserves.
Not disabled, unless you count my narcolepsy, but kids who have disabilities should never be treated like this cause like you said they will always be here, and doesn't make them any less of a person. They deserve a good quality of life and to be treated like a normal freaking person!
This type of shit heats me up.
@@reinasherman8009I'm physically disabled and I'd argue narcolepsy can be disabling if it's severe enough to impair your life
Right? Mental health and trauma are NO excuse to 1- be an asshole 2- be a bad parent. I have AuDHD and was diagnosed with Autism around 20 something but my mother, a single mother who went through DA and FOUGHT TO COME OUT ON TOP(now about to graduate as LPN and I am so so so proud), was UNDIAGNOSED FOR YEARS and she gave me everything I needed AND WAY MORE. She worked her ASS off and protected me as a "gifted kid". I am CHILDLESS AT 27 AND CANNOT EVEN FATHOM DOING THIS TO CHILDREN IN GENERAL LIKE NOT EVEN MY OWN. I am so ANGRY! Sending light and love to those poor babies. THE TRUTH AND LOVE WINS. Every time.
@@reinasherman8009 if it’s chronic and affects your life enough to impair daily function yes it is a disability, stoma bags and the like are classed as disabilities as well
My daughter is in early intervention and I don't pay anything. When your child is under 3 they are eligible....this is pure neglect and it makes me sick especially being a mother I can't imagine not doing everything I can to provide for my child.
Hi, I am an adult with agenesis of the corpus callosum . Every kid is different. We may not reach milestones quickly, but we still end up most of the time making them . Physical and Speech therapy IS NEEDED. Regardless, Rosie was still a baby and babies need extra care.
Thank you for sharing! I cannot speak to the experience, I can only speak to what I learn online so your knowledge and experience is invaluable 🤍
Rosie is 5 years old…
So, her shaving her kids head reminded me I had friends that were "too mentally ill" to be allowed to have anything but a bowl cut growing up, even when we were in highschool and they absolutely were more than capable of maintaining their hair. I think that's just an excuse abusive parents use to dehumanize their children with bad haircuts.
I've never been good at taking care of my hair. My mom used to cut it very short as a child and I hated it. She certainly didn't put any effort in finding tools, or low effort ways to take care of my hair. As an adult, I have proved I am able to take care of my hair. I have found ways to take care of my hair with minimal effort. I have a straightener that is literally just a big hot brush that I run through it. And these have existed for a long time. She could have helped me but she didn't. Acacia reminds me a lot of my own mother
Reminds me of the poor little girl who was so obviously abused before she went missing - Summer Wells
@@sejongunniespistolmy First girl is a Nightmare with scalp sensitivity, She used to scream and bite sometimes. After two years I decided to start cutting it shorter, but still long enough that we can tie it in a pony tail or pigtails. I did phantasize about cutting it really short to avoid drama, but She didn't want to and I understood that obvs. She is now 6and we haven't cut the lenghts in a year, She can brush it herself mostly, and now hugs me tight when I do it, to endure it Better. It's not Easy, but it's not the end of the world either. I wouldn't put a straightener trhough her hair, but I tried alllll the brushes and sprays.
"i'm being abused at home so thats why i decided to take my kids to the park and leave my kids alone and unsafe while i go take selfies and play pretend on social media" yea acacia..... that def makes sense
As someone born with a heart condition, I am so grateful my parents treated me with the utmost care and love. My whole family loves me and never let my disabilities impact the way they treat me. I wish Rosie had a better family.
I was born with a heart condition too (Tetrogy of Fallot!) and I’ve had 2 open heart surgeries and after hearing things like how Rosie is treated, it makes me extra grateful for a loving family. Im so glad your family is good to you too! Us zipper club members have to stick together! 🤍
@@jordanalmond3458 Yeah! Happy you have a loving family. Zipper Club members for life! 👍
there are various signs of mental health struggles... one that stands out to me is the need to always find a new self- it's this struggle of identity that I know from BPD ... the sexual trauma, the seemingly very harsh cuts in her life, always needing to get validation from an audience, history of selfharm, intense relationships, desperately trying to uphold and image... I know all that from BPD
now I'm not a therapist so I won't diagnose her but I want to say I relate!
And what helped me is cutting off the exterior validation (aka social media) and going to DBT therapy... geeze I feel like I'm always commenting this BUT SHE NEEDS THERAPY!
Her parenting: abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. Those children, my heart break for, but especially that sweet innocent Rosie, and as a mother, I could throw up- this is insanity. God she’s so horrible and literally has excuses for everything she does. This absolutely is neglectful because it is neglect. I literally do not understand. So sad.
As a disabled person myself, I had my Mum fighting every step of the way for my whole life. She did much of it as a single Mum. I call BS on her being such a poor example of a parent to those wee kid. How sad. And maddening. My Mum would lose her crap if she watched this.
It’s sad to see that Acacia took a good step in taking her kids off the internet but yet creating content still takes priority over them. It actually might be worse in her case if she has to make content without them if she’s gonna walk off into a forest and neglect them to do so. At least when they were on camera she was somewhat paying attention to them. So sad 😞
this comment reminds me of something Ruby Frankie said on camera, that “vlogging makes her a better mom because she can see herself being too harsh and tone it down, holds her accountable” but we all saw how that ended 😬
Absolutely, at least she had to pretend to be a caring mother when she films them for content
I’m so sorry to learn about the loss of your brother from the last video. I hope you’re doing as okay as you can ❤ he’ll always be with you, but god it’s awful and I’m so sorry.
Really pumped about this part, I watched the last video twice 😂 thank you for your dedication, and please take the time you need to grieve whenever you need to, grief is ugly and weird. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace. You are cared about ❤
Thank you love 🥺💜💜 it is the strangest experience I have ever gone through, but it means the world to me to have all the support. 🙏 thank you.
@@cruelworldhappymindGod bless you❤❤❤❤❤
@@cruelworldhappymind hang in there you beautiful soul. 🖤
@@cruelworldhappymindyou are a very strong young lady sometimes life just throws a curve and I hope you heal day by day. You are such a lovely person❤❤❤ and we all love you
She seemingly has the resources to afford child care or a nanny to help her if she truly just feels overwhelmed and alone to take care of her kids??
That’s the thing . She doesn’t wanna spend anymore money on them than she has to.
My heart breaks for you. I lost my sister when she was 28. My husband and I raised her daughter as our own. It took me a year to even start feeling some sense of normalcy. Give yourself time. I know how painful it is. Sending much love. 💖
Acacia’s excuse for going to the woods was to go cry. She forgot to mention that she brought her Nintendo with her and took photos for SM. 👀 So 🧢 And what a privilege to have to be negligent towards your children and not lose custody. There are horror stories of children being taken by CPS even when the parent(s) isn’t negligent.
Sounds like a pity ploy. But yes, in many ways Acacia is much more privileged than the average person.
@@lordfreerealestate8302I think it’s bc she’s white and pretty
I lost my mother last year the day my son came home from NICU.
The grief we feel is evidence of the love they gave us. Do not stop yourself from crying on the floor when it hits you. Sending the largest hug to you.
May he rest in peace. 🤍
I was so disappointed bc it’s my birthday today and I had NOTHING to watch… you just made my whole day 😢😅❤
I’m incredibly sorry to hear about your brother- and although I’m just a stranger on the internet and I’m sure my words won’t help, I just wanted to say I know your brother is rooting for you and the continuance of your work that helps many others on your UA-cam channel. It’s hard and honestly this piece of you will likely never heal, but at least you can go on knowing he’s proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story and the stories of others who find struggles in the world. I wish you all the love and support from this stranger on the internet ❤
Happy birthday
@@mikalcarruthersthank you 🎉
Happy birthday! And thank you so much 💜
@@cruelworldhappymind ugh thank you for your comment - I’ve watched you ever since you started your channel I’m kind of fangirling bc you wished me a HBD 🎂
But seriously - you are a wonderful person and I hope you know all of your viewers are right behind you on your healing journey 🫶❤️ you have a whole army of strangers on the internet who support you!
I wanted to ask you if you ever cover true crime injustices? If so, I have a topic I’ve been emailing other people in TC space but I haven’t heard anything… I wanted to ask you but I wasn’t sure if you’d cover something like this. It’s just something that desperately needs eyes on it or else I’m terrified of the outcome 😞 it involves some people I knew in high school and I always knew they were bad news.
Please let me know if you’re interested and maybe I can email you? And even if you agree to email me it doesn’t mean you have to do it, I promise not to hold you to it!
i want to hug you !!!!! so kind
35:16 “it’s okay, she won’t” is so heartbreaking
Also sorry for your loss, Madison. Take any time you need 🖤
I was abused and neglected as a kid and it’s harsh but I am not having children because I just know in my heart that I could not emotionally support them in the way that they need and deserve.
Same 💙💙
Honestly? It’s more admirable to do the self-reflection and realize you don’t have the bandwidth to properly take care of a child than have one because you’re culturally supposed to. We treat children like property and then are surprised when they’re not well-adjusted adults. Good on you for not continuing the cycle
Same here, I can't have kids just to watch them suffer just like I did
Yes, I was also neglected by my mother and abused by my stepfather when I was a toddler. It's the main reason why I decided to never have kids. My PTSD is really bad, along with other mental health issues. I would never want a child to deal with my mental health and grow up to be an adult who struggles like me. If I had kids in my 20's like everyone wanted me to, they would have lived in a broken home and went through my addiction. I've made a lot of mistakes in life, but deciding to never have children is the best thing I could have done for myself. And I'm sure it's the case for you as well. I'm in my mid 30's and I STILL have people asking me if I'm gonna have kids 😑 it's annoying as hell.
Omg screaming at the fact that you used some clips from my tiktoks! I love your channel! I was gonna do a full deep dive of acacia on tiktok, but her stans kept mass reporting my account and I didn’t want it to get deleted 😭
I reccomend settong up a second account for it maybe so even if the acc is taken down it wont be ur main one!
I am so sorry about losing your brother. I'm an only child but I could not even imagine! *I actually just lost my aunt myself at 4am last Sunday.* 🥺😔 You are and always have been BEYOND strong, emotionally and mentally. You should be proud of yourself. The fact you are even still working while "working" through the grief proves even moreso of who you are: a very strong MOTHER. Your daughter will be so proud of you and admire you as the rest of us do.
Take care, Madison. 💙
Thank you and I’m so sorry to hear about your aunt! 😢
@cruelworldhappymind oh , wow. thankyou so much. 🩵💙
she was sick for a while , on the lung transplant waiting list , and somehow still managed to be the one happy , making US , the family , feel strong. If there's a heaven up there , I hope she is doing the same for your brother. 🥹🩵
And she was very funny, so he'll be laughing 🤭🥲
@@_labacanitazthis was so sweet to read. Sending you love and praying you feel your aunt’s presence in your life from the other side. ❤
@simplynautica3233 thankyou. 🩵💙
now me reading THAT was sweet. 😊
i hope i can feel her too. she always knew how to make you laugh & smile no matter what mood. 🥲😔
thankyou again for taking the time to read this , and commenting. 🩵💙
This woman is really something else! I had a family member who ended up needing to get her daughter different therapies because she had a muscular issue. It wasn’t cerebral palsy, but it was something similar. She got her daughter in speech, occupational, and physical therapys really early, and I really think it had an extremely positive impact. And this is a family member who at the time had pretty low income. In my opinion, what Acacia did is absolutely neglectful. Also, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish you the best, and I hope you have a lot of support during this time. as someone who has also lost someone, I know that it takes time, and I hope you have comfort while you are healing.
Edit: I rewatched for about the third time and the feeding tube didn’t go in until after the surgery so nevermind.
I was born disabled and had a feeding tube for a long time. My mom said we went on exactly one trip when I had to tube, left early and then never did it again due to how difficult it was to manage. I wasn’t allowed to stay with family or anything because they couldn’t feed me properly. If I had to guess, Rosie’s weight loss is a result of improper management of her tube.
This knowledge is horrifying. I hope she loses her kids. And what is the dad doing about all this. I hope you are okay I’m glad you had proper care!!
Idk how doctors didn’t secretly alert the police at the hospital that she was neglecting her.
I've known this Acacia girl for far too long. She's neglected one of her kids in the past. She was young, naive, and still had to chase after her dreams in life. In her early 20s she became a mom, but I have a feeling she may have regretted not taking the time to make such a huge and impactful decision that would likewise drastically change the whole course of he life.
She wasn’t in her 20s when she became a mother, she got pregnant when she was 18. After years of severely neglecting and giving away several pets. These poor children never had a chance
Also, as someone who was a very special needs child, both my mom and i having chronic illnesses, it would DESTROY us to be "adventuring" not even a week after a surgery/procedure.
I , myself , just earlier this year was put into a medically induced coma for 1O days , suffering from another extreme bout of pneumonia. Was on life support , nasal feeding tube for a week , IVs in my neck , etc. It is November O1st and I *STILL* am having trouble breathing and my stamina is poor. Can you imagine a toddler , who just had *OPEN HEART SURGERY* "GOING CAMPING?!?!" 😢
Please someone save that poor child! All of them, actually! 🥺
Hope you’re doing better!!! And I agree 1000%
@@sukiBambina aww , thankyou, mi amor. 🩵💙
i'm trying to get there. i'm on at-home oxygen but using it less and less and can walk and carry "heavy" things much more than i could.
that was so sweet for you to leave this comment and you just made my entire say. ☺️😊 thankyou, love. 🩵
Super lame that in the "i am here to stay" apology(?) she didn't even acknowledge that she did anything wrong, even if she felt she had an excuse for it. Her not taking accountability makes me think she doesn't and won't care if anything happens. She's not actively trying to take care of her kids better imo. I don't want to assume the worst but part of me really thinks that if something bad happened to one of her kids, she would just milk it for content even if she didn't care at all.
What acacia doesn’t say speaks louder than what she does say. Acacias lack of consideration for her own children in her explanation/non-apology video tells you all you need to know about how little she cares about her children. I just hope they are in the care of someone who actually loves them and takes care of them. She never deserved those kids and they always deserved better than the mother they got.
I lost my older brother when I was 14, the intro definitely hit hard. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤Take care of yourself, I know it's so hard to be there for your family after such a thing
I lost my older brother when I was 14 as well.. Such a life altering experience for that to happen during those formative years. Take care, you are not alone ❤
Acacia reminds me so much of my stepdaughter’s mom. Manipulating situations to make herself the victim to not take accountability for her actions.
Also, I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s so difficult to process and grieve the loss of such a close loved one. Wishing you the best 💕
Being a mom myself, this whole situation makes me absolutely sick for the children! They didn’t ask for all Acacia’s problems but they do deserve to be loved and PROPERLY cared for. If she can’t give them that then she needs to do the right thing and get help for their sake.
You probably won’t see this, but I am a grief/trauma therapist. I hope you have someone you can talk to about your brother. It sounds like he was deeply loved by you. Let yourself grieve when you need; there is no timeline or normal expression for this. You will find ways to honor him and his memory and it will help you heal. ❤ I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
Madison, my heart goes out to you. When I lost my dad, I felt that “is this real” feeling so hard as well. Please know that you are so deeply appreciated, respected, and just so inspiring with the amazing content that you obviously spend SO much time and effort to produce. Your realness, humanity, and truly caring nature comes through in all of your work. I have so enjoyed watching your channel grow over the years. Thank you so so SO much, you are proof that kind humans still do exist in this world.
Yep, felt that when I lost my dad suddenly too. Sorry for your loss and hope you’re doing ok and being kind to yourself.❤
Oof, I hope you are also doing ok. Thank you :)
thank you, I appreciate you and all the love and support greatly!!
You’re very kind for doing that for her. Even when money is tight for everyone! Bless you!
I lost my sister 7 years ago and it still is so hard. I’m very sorry. Be patient with yourself. Healing looks different to everyone
I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
I lost my younger brother last year and the pain is unlike anything I've ever felt before. I can imagine what you're going through and how your feeling.
I lost my older sister in 2018. We share the same birthday, 16yrs apart. I'm finally able to talk about it but I still HATE our birthday, it's so hard!! Just drags on my soul. I wish you both the best hun.
Your words about your brother broke my heart. I'm going through grief process myself and I admire your strength. Your brother, wherever he is, is so proud of you!
I'm sorry about your brother, I lost my older brother when I was 14 sending lot's of positive vibes to you and your family
its so awful. neglect is awful- i was neglected, and there is no competition between the children and the neglect they all are experiencing simultaneously, but rosie.. its especially awful. i have a disabled older sister, and although still neglected my parents made sure she was in different therapies, groups, and activities. acacia has absolutely robbed rosie. as stated in the video, early intervention makes such a difference. where would rosie be? it’s so incredibly unfair that acacia, who was in a position to truly provide for rosie, just… didn’t, all while showing obvious distain for her. we don’t know where rosie could have been, but when living with disabilities, any little thing to make life a bit easier to live is valuable and acacia completely robbed her of so many of the “could’ve-s”
i used to always defend acacia and her parenting when rosie was born, when creators like sloan were making tons of videos about her. i can't believe i was so invested that i looked past all the bs, the bad parenting, the neglect.. i hope her children are thriving now that they're offline. i still can't believe that park/van situation happened. it makes me feel sick to see that baby on top of a CAR with acacia nowhere in sight, not even to mention rosie being left on the blanket roadside. legitimately unbelievable. imagine being those babies and growing up to see how your childhood neglect became an internet scandal..
Not only that, but how slowly acacia was walking out of the forest. No sense of urgency she likely didn’t even see her kid on top of the roof. It’s a miracle he didn’t fall off and crack his skull open. Had she walked back any minute later that may have been the case.
@@teresitaperegrina3741 the most casual “hey what are you doing” to him as if he were playing on a jungle gym or something, you’re right when you say absolutely no urgency on her part
Omg I didnt even see the videos of her
taking him off the car :-0 Thats even more horrifying.
@@AlannaMarie
I’m sorry but how could you defend her very poor parenting of her second child? Not trying to attack you or anything just curious of how this could be. Didn’t you think it was wild how she’d dress up her oldest daughter appropriately for cold weather while her second disabled daughter wore very little?
I lost my mom this year too- don’t lose yourself in work in order not to feel the grief. You deserve to honor your pain, and you’re so strong for handling this while having your own family to stay strong for. I know I don’t know you, but I love your content and I’d be so proud of you if you were my family. He’s definitely still with you, cheering on your success. Just like all of us are! Take your time, and we will support whatever you do.
There's more?! Thank you, Madison! You are one of my absolute favorites on this platform. EDIT: My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. Please give yourself grace.
I lost my uncle unexpectedly this month, and just celebrated the one year anniversary of my aunts death. I am so, so sorry for your loss I can only imagine a fraction of your pain. I appreciate your content, thank you for finding the strength to do this.
It is heartbreaking to hear what Rosie has to go through. I truly hope she gets taken care of, by someone else. This little girl deserves better parents. How could you let your *own* child live like this?
Madison I’m sorry about your brother. I’m hugging you in my heart and praying for peace and comfort during this time. Thank you for making such well-produced content. I truly can’t imagine how much time goes into it!
A girl my sister went to school with used to pride herself as a “milf” then she lost custody of her daughter. She deleted all pics of her daughter and started an OF. She deletes any comments of people asking how her daughter is.
We will see her kids on the news except it will be the police searching for a missing child or finding one of them dead. I hope not but i see it coming if the courts dont step in asap. I am so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier but just take it one day at a time hun. ❤ Sending you love & support 💕
That whole comment of "is this what the world is coming to?" Is so stupid. That was one situation of a neglectful parent. There have always been neglectful parents. It's not a "Gen z" problem ffs. And I'm a millenial not Gen z.
Yeah I thought that too!
I hate that the world blames everything on gen z when most of us don’t even have kids. It’s actually older generations that have children just bc it was “just a thing you do when you get married” and turn to neglecting and or abusing their kids bc their parents neglected /abused them as kids. So they just thought it was a healthy parenting style.
I’m so glad you mentioned not wanting to speculate too heavily on Rosie’s medical needs! I have so many issues with Acacia and her parenting for obvious reasons, but a close friend of mine as well as her now 4 year old daughter both have Alagille syndrome. It always bothers me when people blame Acacia for Rosie’s low weight when, yes it COULD be Acacia but my friends daughter is now 4 years old and still wearing age 12 month clothes, she’s also often on medication that makes her weight fluctuate drastically; it happens! Her mum is her biggest advocate, being someone with the same condition and although Acacia could be a problem, i don’t think that’s a definite… I just hate seeing people who know little to nothing about the condition make such huge claims when in reality, we know nothing. There’s so many things to call Acacia out for, but this always bothers me. Again, thank you for not going too heavy on that subject, sending you so much love during this hard time. You’re so so loved 🤍
I think there are some people who would blame acacia for her weight because she said in a blog that she & her ex went against their doctors recommendation of a feeding tube in order to try a special diet. They had her doing the special diet for quite a long time, a year at least, with no progress. Then she went into the hospital for emergency heart surgery & gained weight during the hospital stay. When the hospital stay ended, that’s when they went on the camping trip immediately
I really appreciate the 'internet acquintances' part of your intro. Because we don't really know each other, and I haven't watched all your vids, though quite a few. It's a lovely way to not work towards anything parasocial.
Hey, I wasn’t really sure if it was my place to share, but when I was 21 I went through an extremely similar experience and lost my brothers and I just want to say that whatever way you grieve is the right way. If that means you’re posting more than usual as a distraction, or if it means you go into a shell for a month or three or a year. Whatever you need to do to cope with this is totally understandable, as long as you’re actively processing and healing.
Never feel like you’re taking up too much space with your grief, because honestly you don’t understand what I went through with my grief, and nobody understands what you’re going through with your grief. Lean as much as you can on your support system, lean as much as you want on your supporters. You’re so strong, and you’re going to persevere to a new normal one day, but you’re allowed to be strong and in grief.
Stay strong 💕
Growing up in an abusive house has been one of the biggest factors as to why I don't want to have kids. I'm afraid I would pass on to them the same shit that happened to me.
I felt bad for her in the beginning. I empathized with how hard it is being a solo mom. But seeing the evidence against her speaks volumes. She is clearly incapable of putting her children first, and will create whatever narrative she needs in order to support her manipulation
She just seems perpetually 16. She clearly doesn't even have the maturity to understand the commitment of caring for a pet, let alone the reality of raising children. She just seems like a teenager playing dolls, it's truly terrifying to me that she has three kids
She acts like her children are pets. She hat like 10 cats and 6 dogs and other animals in her life and got rid of them one or two years after getting them. And now her family fantasy got boring and she got rid of her kids
Oh my goodness Madison I am so deeply sorry for your loss! The love of a sibling is one like no other. Grief is an incredible burden to bear, and you deserve to go about it in whatever way you need to. If that means it would be helpful for you to continue making videos, so be it. If that means you need to take a break from UA-cam, so be it. Your community is absolutely behind you in whatever you need to do for your well-being during this time. If you need to step away and take some personal time, I don’t think a single one of us would hold it against you or think you left us or anything. Take care of yourself, we love you, and we support you ✨💖
So sorry for your loss. Lost my brother in law at 24 and my father to un-aliving and it never gets easier. Gotta keep moving forward being mindful they're watching over me and living life like they were unable to 💔.
Side note: so happy you popped back up on my feed. Stupid YT algorithm made you and alot of others disappear. I was watching you when you hardly had any subscribers and were filming in your dining room/kitchen. So happy you don't exploit your child like so many tend to do. Keep going girl! You're awesome.
You can say dying in UA-cam comments. Fyi
As a future OT I’m so glad you mentioned therapy services for Rosie. That’s something insurance could cover and Rosie and Acacia could both benefit from. OTs can also provide caregiver education to Acacia for her to learn all she needs to provide Rosie a safe, healthy quality of life. It’s really a shame to see this occurring when so much should be done to protect these kids :(
So wait, she went to cry about her situation, but also just so happened to take a selfie where she didn’t look teary whatsoever and which had significant setup? Alright.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your brother - I can't even fathom how rough it must be. Take as much time as needed to grieve, we'll be around regardless. ❤
Why do people always blame the generation as if there aren't neglectful parents in every generation 🙄
I lost my brother to a car accident a few years ago and it still feels like yesterday. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it's hard to get through and I appreciate you sharing your story.
I got a feeling that the censorship in these videos is getting out of hand. Censoring the "trigger" words for the sake of the algorithm mostly doesn't work anyway, so what's the point? The videos with topics of rape, abuse, etc, doesn't get the same ads, no matter if you censor the words or not.
It's just making the video really hard to listen to, because every other word is cut in the middle like if the audio was lagging.
I am so very sorry for your loss. My brother and I are very close as well, and the thought of him or any of my friends and family leaving this earth terrifies the absolute crap out of me. It cannot be easy one bit, although I can't imagine what you're going through ❤ Sending so much love and support your way. Love you ❤
She is the perfect example of a character you learn about in writers class. The villain is never purely bad, and the hero is never purely a saint, for then it'd be boring to read about. Nobody is 100% good or bad. She can be a victim and a villain at the same time. In fact, the two faces probably gave her even more views and income boost.
Thank you SO much for uploading while going through this difficult time, it truly does not go unnoticed. However, take some time to process things and grieve, we’ll still be here whenever you bless us with a new video ❤️❤️❤️
As someone who got out of an abusive household and away from my abusive mother, I felt the deepest empathy for her when I found out about her situation from your first video on her. However, I also foresaw this happening; her becoming the mirror image of the same monsters that put her in the spot she's in. Even in your other video, even though she was the victim she was still showing signs of narcissism manifesting and there wasn't any serious mention of therapy or psychiatric help. People with unresolved childhood trauma (and this is especially true for women because of how emotional trauma manifests in them) very often reenact the same trauma on their kids unless they're treated for that trauma first. This was simply a predestined conclusion.
you just blew my mind with that last bit...
We are so sorry for your great loss. Please don't feel pressured to do more than feels natural. Though there is ultimately healing (as a part of the process) through your passion and career built on making a better space on YT, there is a time when momentum comes back. Your healing must come first. It's not self-indulgent, but a necessity. 💐🌺🌸⚘
I’m so sorry. I lost my brother 10 years ago. The pain will lessen, but the hole in your heart will never heal. And thank you for taking charge of your experiences and creating excellent content. ❤❤❤
Although in hindsight calling Rosie “the forgotten baby” is awful, I do want people to understand that it was when she was pregnant and I think often times second children, especially if the pregnancy is going smoothly especially in the beginning, you can still be so focused on your first child’s needs that you sometimes forget you’re pregnant. Again, not excusing neglecting Rosie after birth, but at the time, that phrasing was not a red flag for me. And sometimes I dislike taking things like that and using it in the narrative after the fact even if it’s another bullet point in hindsight because I think people who are good parents should be able to joke around like that without feeling bad about it. Does that make sense? Trying to be nuanced here
I tend to think ppl like this always expose themselves & tell on themselves. We often wrte it off as just a joke but often after some time we see that it hits too close to home. The writing is on the wall but we get to close to read what it says.
There have been videos and pictures of evidence that she smokes weed. So that make me think when she was pregnant with Rosie,she drank and or smoked.
I feel so enraged and disgusted. I want to vomit. There is no excuse for making her babies suffer so much. I hate the pain of innocence. I would never dream of treating my son this way. What kind of mother could do that? May they be taken from her and they be able to stay together in a more suitable safe home away from her and her family. I hope she loses her online platforms as well. All children deserve good parents, but not all parents deserve to have children.
When people suddenly decide to “open up” about certain things that garner sympathy when they’re called out for horrible things they’ve done, and they use those stories to gloss over confronting what THEY DID, I don’t really care what they have to say. When people cry for themselves and when it benefits them, they don’t deserve sympathy. We need to not just “believe everyone” who makes a claim and cries about it, we need to use our critical thinking and instincts bc the worst people of society are also victims at some point, and they also absolutely use the sympathy of others to escape accountability and manipulate others.
She’s a mom, no situation she’s in excuses behaving that way. She’s full of it.
I just want to add I remember watching those “apology” videos if you want to call it that, and thinking are those children’s toys she’s fiddling with? Up until that point she hasn’t had a hint or a clue that she has kids then all of a sudden she’s sitting playing with a kids toy as she talks about the park incident… I noticed that right away and honestly I found it so weird and maybe even manipulative
I assumed they were her “fidget toys” as she loves to claim her “ ‘tism “ when she gets called out. She brings out her list of diagnoses so ppl can pity her. It did seem calculated “look at me needing the fidget toy as i talk about my trauma”.
My heart aches for your loss. I hope that those around you are providing you with the love, care, and support that you need and deserve through this. We love your videos and I have so much respect that you want to keep creating through your grief, just remember to always put your own mental health before us. We will wait and support you if you need a break at any time. 💛
Glad to hear you're doing your best. Losing someone is hard. I lost my dad just over a week ago, and I'm still reeling. Nothing makes sense, nothing feels right, and nothing will ever be the same. If you have any advice for someone else who is grieving, I would be grateful to hear it.
I was speechless when you said poor Rosie weighed 11lbs at one year of age. That’s literally the weight of a one-month old baby. I don’t understand why CPS didn’t step in, especially as she was gaining weight at the hospital? That’s just unreal to me. Thank you for discussing this important case. I didn’t know this creator at all, but I don’t watch family vlog channels as I refuse to support the exploitation of innocent children.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your little brother. I can’t even begin to imagine how you’re feeling right now. Please take all the time you need to heal ❤
dealing with a loss of such a close family member at such a young age... madison, take all the time you need to grieve and heal. i wish you nothing but the best
I lost my brother 3 weeks ago and I feel like I was meant to come across this video. I’m so sorry that you are experiencing what I am right now. I have never felt a pain comparable to this. Hearing how much you loved your brother and loving each other through trauma made me feel a little less alone. So thank you for sharing your grief with us ❤
Thank you for becoming my new favorite channel recently. Your views and voice are extremely powerful. You know how to use your platform correctly and do not abuse it. It’s so refreshing to watch someone who just actually cares and has a heart. Thank you for everything you do.
Take your time and make sure you're taking care of yourself. I lost a classmate last year due to suicide. Stay strong and you got this!
I’m so so sorry for your loss. As an older sister, I started tearing up at your tears. May he rest in peace, and May you heal in peace. His memory will never be lost.
As a mom myself, the park incident angered me on so many levels, who would just leave their kids unattended like that and especially a baby who has a disability?! 😡
Someone who couldn’t be bothered with her kids anymore that’s who. I don’t think she wants to be a mom anymore if that’s the case she needs to call CPS on herself
Oh Madison. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in May and you're right. It doesn't feel real. And sometimes it's just really really hard. I'm proud of you for choosing to not let the grief consume you because I know that's not always the easiest choice. Your brother would be proud of you for carrying on this legacy. But if you ever need a break, take the break. I know we don't chat like in the discord days but I still very much love your content and care about your own well being because you're truly a great genuine person I'm lucky to have stumbled upon in 2020! Now I'm actually going to watch the rest of this video bc I already know it's damn good! ❤
Crying with you baby ❤ I lost my youngest brother almost 3 years ago and it's so hard not to become consumed. We appreciate you and your content. Best wishes💕
I'm SO sorry for your loss, Madison. I just lost a close friend a couple weeks ago. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss as well. It’s such a hard thing to process. It seems that in time it slowly gets easier
It is very sad to see that Acacia, after suffering in her childhood, decided to inflict that pain on her children as well 😞
I am also so sorry for your loss ❤️ Take care of yourseld and if you need to take time away, that is completely understandable ❤ no one truly understands the bond between siblings like the siblings do that is for sure and my heart aches for you ❤
I’m so sorry for the loss of your younger brother. I’m crying as I write this and I just hope you know how much your content means to me and how thankful I am you are continuing to post videos. As a bigger sister my self I imagine what you must be going through and my tears shed are for that reason. We love you, or I love you and I’m sure your brother loves you so much. May you have his love and the love you have for him in your heart and carry it with you always 💜
I’m so sorry for your loss. It takes time to heal from the loss of a loved one, especially one you’ve shared experiences with that no one else could understand. That creates a special connection. I’m sending you my deepest sympathies and support.
I lost my sister a year ago this coming Thanksgiving. My sister was 7 years older than me and she saved me from an abusive family member when I was in grade school, as well as helped encourage me in my early recovery from RX drug addiction. I have 15 years of recovery now. At the time my sister had been in AA and had 20+ years of sobriety, when she stopped going to meetings and started drinking again within a year of stopping meetings. She was back to her old drinking habits within weeks and she ultimately died from complications related to alcoholism. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s painful.
As for Acacia, she lives in the same town as my 21 year old daughter who is a university student there. My daughter and I checked her neighborhood within a 5 mile radius for predators who are on the registry for sexual offenders. There’s quite a few. I can’t imagine letting my child out of my sight at a public place. When our daughter was little, I was always within her line of sight and vice versa when we went to the park, kids play rooms (Bouncy Castle places), Chuck E. Cheese, or her dance class. I could easily be there for her within seconds. There’s no excuse for her behavior at the park.
God I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Losing your family is so difficult, I lost my cousin a few years ago and we were so close and I miss her every day. Sending you so much love
I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing one of my little brothers. Take care of yourself and give yourself time and sympathy, don't try to rush yourself.
I’m so sorry for your loss🙏🏻 I wish you strength and healing ♥️
I've been watching your videos for awhile now but this one hit me like a brick wall. Talking about your younger brother brought me to tears. I grew up in a destructive cult and my older brother died at such a young age because my family was involved in a very harmful group. You make such great videos and I hope you keep up the good works you are producing.
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.
Sorry for the second comment but for some reason it wouldn't let me edit the first.
What no one is pointing out is the fact that she was not in the tree line crying- she was taking pictures of her boobs and playing on her switch while posting on her social media. Not a tear on that little face. Somebody needs to take those kids. Yesterday. Hopefully once the social worker sees through her BS, that's exactly what will happen.
She says "I'm a single mother doing everything with no outside help" and I hear "my boyfriend doesn't know I have kids".
While I lost my mom this year, I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. Know that you are allowed to take time for yourself to heal and reflect if that’s what you need. ❤
