Admitting you are defeated is a painful thing. This poor lady had a large portion of her life destroyed by addiction. I hope she gets help, hope she gets a safe place to call home and a warm place to sleep safe.
I am sixty now but when I was twenty I lived on the street for four months in Toronto. That experience was the hardest thing I ever went through. It has made me appreciate the life I now have. I hope this woman finds peace and safety.

barbara seems like such a warm, gentle soul -- so present and insightful. the world hasn't treated her right. i know her children will understand why she did what she did and will forgive her. i pray she finds herself in a better position soon.
What? "...the world hasn't treated her right" If she's a "victim", it's a result of her own choices. She even said there's a lot of friendly people willing to help. Don't understand why you would say that about "the world".
The world treated her too good . This POS is no victim. She is the abuser and now that she is old and pathetic you see her as a victim. PATHETIC. I pray her children and grandchildren stay far away from her . Let her god forgive her for the abuse she did to her daughter and son. Hopefully she will be in hell for the pain she has caused her children. The world hadn’t treated her right….. what a pathetic comment
Ah, Barbara. I live down here too. We have the same name, are the same age and left home for Vancouver at the same age. It's amazing to run across this video of you at this time. I had one son. He was 33 when he died a year and a half ago. I'm lost too. Fortunately, hard drugs never spoke to me. I tried them in my teens and lost interest fast. I had deep trauma that caused me to run away and stay away from my family. But it was the creative work I was doing and weed that spoke to me. I know that differences in my brain and upbringing may be the only reason I'm not living the same life as you. I hope I meet you and can say hello. I've wanted to walk more around the hood. Been here so long just lost interest in going out much. Now the weather is warmer ... maybe we'll cross paths one day. :)
Thanks for your comment. That's amazing that you left home for Vancouver at the same age. Sorry to hear about the loss of your son and of your deep trauma. Sending you a hug. I hope you're able to find Barbara and say hello. I looked for her today, but no luck. Next time hopefully. Thanks again, take care 💞
@@judybower8801 Judge much? Yes this woman admits she made some bad choices and with a horrendous upbringing how could she not? Not all of us made bad choices that led us to the street. In fact, leaving home was the best choice available to us when we were being abused and neglected at home.. For many of us the only accepting and loving community we've ever known has been on the street. If your life wasn't filled with abuse and terror of course you can't imagine making such a choice and preferring it.
@@ritawayword l was referring to her ma’am not you. Her bad choices and failure to take responsibility is exactly why she is where she is. Addicts almost always blame other ppl for their own poor choices. Regardless, l hate to see anyone especially a 60 yr old woman living like this.
This poor woman. I feel so sad for her. Talk about someone that needs a break in life she certainly does! I do hope there is help out there for her. Of all the videos I have watched on so many channels. This is the most saddest one and heartbreaking. 💔🙏🙏🙏
My mom suffered a lot. And she couldn’t admit what she had actually done. But I do agree, she wasn’t a safe person therefor she never met my children and I have not seen her face to face since I was 19. None of my kids are in foster care. I’m not jumping around from man to man or house to house. I beat addiction and healed from trauma so I can be the mother to my children that she was incapable of being for me. My mom passed on August 26 2024. Unfortunately the hope of her healing is gone.
This is the first video I saw filming people having talks and interaction with the people on the street of Vancouver. Otherwise mostly are just showing the environment of what it looks like. Hope the lady found help and slowly work her way back. Please also stay safe consider these people been on the street for so long, they've probably might have picked up some bad habits. Thanks for sharing and bring awareness to the situation of homelessness.
My mom did the same to me. The daughter is smart to stay away from her. She never gave her daughter a stable home and then she goes on to say that her mother did the same to her. She never forgave her mother why would her daughter forgive her. If the daughter sees this it will confirm to her what a pos her mother is. She was a hooker a junkie and used the system her whole life. I am proud of her daughter to get away from this scum
@John Greystone Addiction is an a mental illness. Hopefully she can recover...then, forgive Ness. That's how familys can heal....take my word for it. Miracles can happen. ✌️
@@janetwalker587 when you have done what this women did to her family there is no forgiveness. If there is a god he/she will give forgiveness. This women has done nothing for her daughter to forgive her. Imagine choosing living with abusive men and doing drugs your whole life over you family. Don’t tell me it’s the way she was raised because I lived through stuff you can’t even imagine and I CHOOSE not to be a loser . It’s a choice you make in life. If she tried to be better in her 30s 40s or even 50s maybe she would deserve some compassion but she CHOOSE to do drugs. I really don’t think you were a junkie til 60 and quit but if so do you expect your children to forgive you after all those years ? When my mom and dad die or on their death beds I will not be there or care. They destroyed many lives and again their god can forgive them. I will not
So sad that this lady doesn’t have a safe place to live . I hope that she get help and turns her life around . This could have been anyone of of us . I know to many people who came from a broken home life and ended up not coping well later on in life. Love and be kind to everyone ❤
Like any sex offender, she should be housed absolutely last. She was complicit in her own daughters abduction. Didn't even call the cops. She's no "lady". She's a POS who is getting her karma.
What a lovely lady and she is living such a hard life. She should not be on the streets. Life seems so unfair. I felt very moved by the interview and I will be thinking of her.🇨🇦🇬🇧
Thank you Jane for your thoughtful comment. I plan to stay in touch with Barbara and see if and where I can help her out. Hopefully I'll have a positive update video to post in the near future. 😊
I think talking with a priest or pastor will help her deal with some of the issues she’s dealing with. The evil spirit in her room can be genuine or she’s having withdrawal symptoms from the fentanyl. I pray God will heal this woman and all homeless people and animals around the world. 😢 🙏
So it all starts from broken families... Her mom left her husband for another man... The typical usual recipe for disaster for a lot of kids who do not grow up with their biological mom and dad
That’s kind of a facile reaction, the nuclear family produces plenty of kids who struggle with addictions and end up homeless. Growing up with a bio Mom and dad is no more protective of addiction than they are protective of any other disease.
@@leaharchambault5796 this exactly. such a broad generalization. my dad strangled my mother in front of me before i got my hands on him and called the police. he was violent toward me too. i haven't spoken with him for 30 years. i went through my shit with alcohol and got my life together. some people choose to be victims.
@@leaharchambault5796 You are slightly right, but statistically speaking, the percentage of kids who grow up with their biological mom & dad in loving homes and fall into additions & homelessness is very very low....compared to kids who grow up in broken homes... Studies have shown that kids who grow up with both mom & dad end up doing financially better than kids who don't...
Many thanks for your thoughts, prayers and kindness. My hope is that having these conversations can be helpful in some way for the people I encounter, and even for others.😊
Why? She was a pos mother. My mother was the same pos. Blame everyone for her problems. I would walk over her body on the street if I ever seen her again. I hope her family stay away from this garbage
Poor woman. The choices we make in youth often haunt us forever. I really hope she gets the help she needs and is able to live out her life in peace and comfort. I also hope she reunites with her daughter and gets to see both her children more often.
My heart goes out to this woman ...she seems like she has a good heart & was dealt a bad hand (no family support etc)..I hope things get better for her.
Dealt a bad hand? Her daughter was dealt a bad hand when she sold her for drugs and abandoned her. She has sucked the system dry for 40 years. Her family is smart to stay away from this human garbage. I am sure she has destroyed lots of lives and has zero accountability. Hopefully she will just go live under a bridge and stop taking advantage of people or maybe you can let her stay at your house. Absolutely clueless people making such a totally clueless comment
@@johngreystone Oh you know her & know that she sold her daughter for drugs? Or are you assuming that she did based on nothing besides your own ignorance & cruelty? Some people have mental illness, etc...you have no idea what this womans back story is, you also have no idea how hard it is to make it through life when you've never had any sort of family support in your life.
It is good to see you doing this, I have found the addictions are a great part of the homelessness now. It is a complex system of this agency and that and you find many times that the people that are helping are worn out emotionally and effected by the sight every day. I have found they don't want any rules and want to continue the way they want. We need shelter first. I would like to talk with you if possible.
Thinking of this sweet lady ❤️ she’s a beautiful soul. I sure hope she reunites with her daughter one day. I know it’s hard because I’m not speaking to my daughter(because of” Her”addiction) til she gets help😢.it’s a sad world out there sometimes.Thinking of you & sending healing energy your way Barbara ✌🏼 ❤ ((Big Hugs))
@@deepthoughts8393 Compared to on of The U.S.'s diverse, hip-hop cities full of untamed, urban teenz, raised by wild, angry single Mamma's... She's safe.
I am sending you love Barbara with the intention of you finding a wonderful, safe place you can call home. Forgive yourself first, love yourself Barbara and you will realize how special you really are. ❤
Poor Lady... Prayers for her! Like they say in NA One is too many and a thousand is never enough! God bless her! She needs help! Addiction is cunning, baffling and powerful!!
I’m sad to announce the passing of my mother on August 26/2024 due to a fentanyl overdose. Please note: several things my mother said are inaccurate or fully not the truth. But with my mom’s level of trauma and addiction she had to believe what she needed to believe in order to cope and survive. I loved my mom, but she hurt me. And due to my mother’s level of sickness I did not trust her around my children - I have three and she never met any of them ( none are in foster care). I had hoped my mom would get better by getting clean and doing the hard work through treatment which had to happen in order to be a safe person to have around my children, unfortunately that never happened. My moms soul is at peace now. And I forgive her.
I just watched your Mom, Barbara’s interview. I watched it twice. This 9 minute look at her life and how she ended up where she was. Her version. Less painful than reality perhaps. I’m sad to hear you lost your Mom yet again without a resolution or a healing and mending of your relationship. Childhood trauma damages a child and if left untreated in a non nurturing and unsupportive environment they can never recover some of the deepest hurts. 🌹❤️🌹❤️
Barbara is not crazy when she was talking about evil spirits...they do follow people who use drugs and they do have a foul smell.They attach themselves to a particular person or group of people as those groups of drug addicts.She needs deliverance from these tormenting spirits and deliverance from spirits of "addiction"!!
Addiction is so destructive---Govt really needs to build more places for help where people can live and get them slowly integrated into society again!!! Instead if sending billions to other countries we need to fix our own people first!!!🤨🤨
In any other context. Someone answering the question about what she would like to say to her estranged daughter as, "i did not sell her to a drug dealer in Calgary. It didnt even cross my mind" would be verrrry random and weird
People choose their own happiness (lifestyle) over their children. It’s extremely difficult to empathize. She’s angry at her parents for giving her up and wants her closure, but she did the same to her kids? This is the problem. Same as my own mother. Consumed with herself. Her kids were an afterthought. A hinderance..
Parents of old were not perfect either but I believe they tried do do the best they could with what and how they were taught. I respected my parents till their death and I have accepted they had no concept of the psychology of a child's mind. If you dig deep enough, you will learn, accept and turn the negative to a positive.
She is working on getting off fentanyl, she has housing but it doesn’t work for her. Hopefully a change of housing (maybe out of the DTES) will do a lot for her
Had she had a mother who truly loved her, she would not have been lost to the streets. Being a mother means sacrifice. We do what we must to protect and nurture our children, regardless of personal cost. I'm not what you would describe as liberal by any means, but I feel deep compassion for people whose lives took a terrible downward trajectory due to rejection as children. So much suffering for so long. I pray she finds redemption and a new life.
bull shit. people get on the streets for a number of reasons. people can get out of their shitty situation. she revels in being a victim. i don't blame her daughter for not wanting to be part of her life.
So, 2 people kidnapped and prostituted her daughter, and she just "waited" for weeks? If she wasn't complicit why didn't she report the abduction?? This woman is a predator. Not a victim!! 😡
Hi Mark, no she didn't but I can ask her about possible ways of contacting her or offering assistance (for those interested) when I see her next (possibly today). Thanks for your interest 😊
U cant smuge away some entities it will just piss them off if it stinks like that its prob sulfer she needs a spiritualist who knows how to deal with something like that if its so bad that she doesnt want to go back home then she prob should leave as soon as possible
It’s unfortunate but she’ll need to let her family go for her own sake. She’s been made to feel that she’s the problem when the fact is most definitely that she had parents who were disconnected to begin with. They were likely dictators bullies narcissists and addicts themselves that’s why her shelter was always used as a threat these attitudes intentionally ruin independence. Her instincts knew that, that’s why she ran away. She needs to pull herself together and fight for herself it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. She needs a women’s shelter that will empower her position.
Don't do drugs and blame the world. I am a senior and did drugs when young but when I saw what was happening I quit. I had no sympathy for myself and have a very hard time feeling sorry for anyone who has kids and continues to do drugs.
Barbs A living doll she's just my type and that's I must be able to safely Carry her out of a burning building plus she reminds me of my late wife . Barb please consider coming to Kansas . And make us both happy

Childhood trauma damages a child and if left untreated in a non nurturing and unsupportive environment they can never recover some of the deepest hurts. 🌹❤️🌹❤️
So sad to see....mental health care is needed. Thank u madam.
Barbara is not crazy when she was talking about evil spirits...they do follow people who use drugs and they do have a foul smell.They attach themselves to a particular person or group of people as those groups of drug addicts.She needs deliverance from these tormenting spirits and deliverance from spirits of "addiction"!!
Oh please. She's probably hearing mice in the walls or something.
I’m so sad to see this !! I wish her the best and hopefully she can get off the street and get help quickly as possible.
God Bless you ❤❤
😢 so sad💔
Addiction is so destructive---Govt really needs to build more places for help where people can live and get them slowly integrated into society again!!! Instead if sending billions to other countries we need to fix our own people first!!!🤨🤨
God's love for helpless people 🙏🥰🙏🥰
In any other context. Someone answering the question about what she would like to say to her estranged daughter as, "i did not sell her to a drug dealer in Calgary. It didnt even cross my mind" would be verrrry random and weird
😢don't give up Barbara
Regardless how much a loner we are, we need connection. This lady sounds like she had an interesting life but a lot of problems too.
"They think I'm a crackhead, I haven't smoked crack in 10 years" 😂😂😂😂
Pls give her a break
she has the voice of a child, so so sad.
Hang in there. Life is at the moment, might feel like a bad dream, but eventually we wake up from the dream. You are not alone.
People choose their own happiness (lifestyle) over their children. It’s extremely difficult to empathize.
She’s angry at her parents for giving her up and wants her closure, but she did the same to her kids?
This is the problem.
Same as my own mother. Consumed with herself. Her kids were an afterthought. A hinderance..
Parents of old were not perfect either but I believe they tried do do the best they could with what and how they were taught.
I respected my parents till their death and I have accepted they had no concept of the psychology of a child's mind.
If you dig deep enough, you will learn, accept and turn the negative to a positive.
@Tomasino Cosenza liberals did that here and now we deal with mental illness that is never treated in any way shape or form.
She sounds clear minded... family ostracizm is cruel and it is ganging up on one individual 6 certain they stay broken
hope your doing better barb
She's only 58. So sad
So sad Time eventually catches up with us.
I wish I could help her, even in a small way 😟
WOW ! IF SHE IS 14 ,
LIFE ON THE STREETS ARE REALLY ROUGH !!!
What are you talking about ? She has a forty year old son.
Lady needs to pull hers of together. No one can help her but herself
She is working on getting off fentanyl, she has housing but it doesn’t work for her. Hopefully a change of housing (maybe out of the DTES) will do a lot for her
Had she had a mother who truly loved her, she would not have been lost to the streets. Being a mother means sacrifice. We do what we must to protect and nurture our children, regardless of personal cost. I'm not what you would describe as liberal by any means, but I feel deep compassion for people whose lives took a terrible downward trajectory due to rejection as children. So much suffering for so long. I pray she finds redemption and a new life.
bull shit. people get on the streets for a number of reasons. people can get out of their shitty situation. she revels in being a victim. i don't blame her daughter for not wanting to be part of her life.
She reminds me of myself I feel horrible for her :(
Such a sad story.
So, 2 people kidnapped and prostituted her daughter, and she just "waited" for weeks? If she wasn't complicit why didn't she report the abduction?? This woman is a predator. Not a victim!! 😡
This woman just blaming everything on past family life. Pull yourself together and live yr own life
Yes, it is in her to change!!!!!
At the end of the day, she had crap happen but it's up to her to make a change.

Thank you, and Welcome! Much appreciated! 😊
Never ignore the power of TMH. It matters.
did she leave a contact email?
Hi Mark, no she didn't but I can ask her about possible ways of contacting her or offering assistance (for those interested) when I see her next (possibly today). Thanks for your interest 😊
U cant smuge away some entities it will just piss them off if it stinks like that its prob sulfer she needs a spiritualist who knows how to deal with something like that if its so bad that she doesnt want to go back home then she prob should leave as soon as possible
It sounds like her neighbours have gone downhill.
She had a nice place but everything was stolen? She needs to be able to secure her belongings
Probably a wise woman
Poor thing. 😢
My father also left Ontario and went to Vancouver. Why do they all go there
Oh jesus. I feel for her until she mentioned her daughter. Clearly the kids were not safe with her. My heart breaks for her daughter really.
I'm thinking some mental health issues here. She sure tugs at the heart.
It is just a revolving wheel . Please don’t breed if your on drugs .
It’s unfortunate but she’ll need to let her family go for her own sake. She’s been made to feel that she’s the problem when the fact is most definitely that she had parents who were disconnected to begin with. They were likely dictators bullies narcissists and addicts themselves that’s why her shelter was always used as a threat these attitudes intentionally ruin independence. Her instincts knew that, that’s why she ran away. She needs to pull herself together and fight for herself it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. She needs a women’s shelter that will empower her position.
Poor lady 😭
I'm sure there's a good reason her kids don't wanna talk to her
Abusing drugs has consequences.
Don't do drugs and blame the world. I am a senior and did drugs when young but when I saw what was happening I quit. I had no sympathy for myself and have a very hard time feeling sorry for anyone who has kids and continues to do drugs.
So kids.. dont run away from home and dont do drugs.
It’s sad story people become a homeless 😢😢😢
I have lost a very dear friend to BCÈS streets, Betty Rocchio. Smart, beautiful, funny, I so miss her!
U can’t just get put in Juvi. U have to do something
Yeh she meant the exivilant of
God bless her for not having more children.
Her mother, herself and her daughter.
Get clean sweetie please
Barbs A living doll she's just my type and that's I must be able to safely Carry her out of a burning building plus she reminds me of my late wife . Barb please consider coming to Kansas . And make us both happy
😔
