Silent viewer here. As I’m listening to your story, I’m thinking of Emma’s recent videos of her saying “I’ve never been happier!!!”. And…just to think…all of what you have gone through, has led to this. To Emma now being able to say things like “I’ve never been happier”. Had you not been the mother you were, and continue to be, Emma would never be saying the words that she is now… You must be SO proud of what you, your daughters, and entire family has become. I can’t think of anything else to say, other than job well done. Heather, you are a true testament of a mothers love for her daughter(s). May God bless you always, dear. Thank you for sharing ❤
My stepdad raised me, and even though he's not Emma's biological dad you can honestly see he cares for her in your everyday vlogs, and this story you told definitely explains why. As the saying goes "anyone can be a parent, but it takes a special one to be a dad/mom" good job Mark and Heather
This just goes to show that a father is more than just sharing DNA. So glad that Emma has a great father figure like Mark and that you and Emma got through this. You both are so strong ❤
I'm only half way through the video but I just wanted to say, Heather, you are so incredibly strong and such an inspiration. I am so freaking proud of you. Not only are you such an amazing mother, but you are also an amazing person. Sending so much love and hugs to you.
I’m going through something similar now with my 8 month old..thank you SO much for sharing this and honestly just giving me hope that eventually it can be okay. I’m doing everything right for my son no matter what and it’s so nice seeing another mom who went through something similar who now is happy and thriving in life. ❤
You are such a strong Mom, your bond with Emma is such a beautiful thing! Thank you for sharing your story so maybe others know they don't have to stay in an unhealthy situation. Thank God for Mark!
Mark is a gift from God ! He knew you and Emma deserved the world and so much more! This is the most wholesome family and I’m so glad we get to watch y’all grow💗
Heather, I am so sorry you and Emma have gone through so much together. I never had any idea. Thank goodness, everything worked out the way it did. I’m sure this has only made you, and Emma closer. Love you guys. ❤️
One day, Emma's father will wake up and realize he lost out on being a part of an amazing girls life.. and it'll be too late. Good for you Heather, for thinking of your daughter and yourself and getting out of that situation, and not letting him gaslight you into staying! Love to you and Emma!
I’m so sorry this happened to you and poor Emma I’m glad mark walked in to your lives and I’m glad she has someone like him as a father figure. I can not imagine the pain and stress you went through
Here to let you know that everyone is proud of you & you’re doing an amazing job as a mother. You’ve given your daughters the best life they could ever have, your family is truly blessed.
Mark is literally the definition of “if he wanted to he would” he’s the best. He didn’t have to be there, he chose to be there. I’m so sorry you went through that. I’m so glad you got out of that when you could. Emma and Ellie both are so blessed to have you. You would do anything for them. You’re a warrior. Im so glad you opened more up to us. Mark is amazing! Im so glad you met mark. He came in at the right time. I love you guys!
Thank you for being so real, raw and vulnerable. I know we only see what's shown in these tiny videos, but you are and amazing mom and Mark is an incredible dad to BOTH is girls. You should both be very proud of what you've become as a whole. Thank you for sharing. I'd love to someday hear Emma's insight. "Love ya"
Sorry that Happened to you Heather and Emma glad to hear your story and so glad Mark came into your lives when he did. You’re a strong Mother and doing everything as you should. Mark was a blessing you needed he blessed you with Ellie and became the father you needed for Emma. ❤
Thanks for sharing your story. I know I keep commenting it but it is so nice getting to know mum and dad more. As a 25 year old viewer I look up to both you and Mark. I'm sorry you had to go through what you did. Without taking away from how hard your story is for you, I want to say it is nice to know that there are social media family's who are REAL people who go through REAL life just like the rest of us. I love that you are real on your channel.
I felt this. I am so glad you shared this with us. You and Emma are amazing and definitely deserved better than that. So proud and glad you were able to get out of that situation unharmed.
You are an incredible mother, Heather. I had no idea this happened, but I knew there was a good reason he isn't present anymore. That really signifies you never know what someone has gone through in their life. I am so glad that you got away from that horrible person. You and Emma are thriving without them. You are both so strong for it all. ❤
You are so strong Heather. I have been watching you guys for YEARS since the beginning. I went through a traumatic divorce (my parents divorce) at 11 and it was so horrible. I’m so glad you decided to leave early to give Emma a better life
Wow, I’m so sorry you had to endure that. Mark was truly a hero for you and Emma at the time y’all needed one. I wonder if God put it on your heart to share this right now because someone else really needs to hear it. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you all 🙏
So glad you got to get it out and vent! It’s no one business but It does help us understand you a lot more and I appreciate you sharing! That couldn’t have been easy but look at the life you have now! So proud of you & Emma is a strong young woman ! ❤
This absolutely breaks my heart. You are so strong for standing up and doing everything you need to for your children. So happy that years later y’all are doing so much better. I love y’all ❤️
Heather this absolutely hurts my heart , what an amazing Mum you are and you can see your story made you who you are today . Emma is an amazing girl as is Ellie . Mark is just a gem and I’m glad you all got your happily ever after ❤
This story explains a lot. I’m so glad the universe brought Mark to you. You can tell he loves Emma. And he’s basically been there since day 1 for her. How traumatic for you and Emma.
You need to be proud of yourself, you are so freaking strong. WOW. I don't know if I would have had your strength in your situation. I can't imagine how blessed you feel now with such amazing young ladies and a supportive husband.
You are such a Strong Mama Bear for your sweet baby. I'm sorry things didn't work out but look what you gained a beautiful strong daughter and a wonderful man to love you both. Life isn't always fair but things always work out. I'm proud of you for everything you both went through and I'm proud of you for fighting for your baby. I'm really proud of Mark for becoming the man Emma needed the most a Father. ❤
thank you for sharing heather, I always knew there was a deeper attraction to supporting your family and its because you are real, you are strong and you inspire everyone everyday with each new video.
Honestly this made me tear up. You are such a amazing mother to both your kids, Mark is a great father to them both. I’m so happy things worked out for you guys❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad you're all doing better now. This story gives me a different perspective and a new level of respect for all of you. Wishing you all the best going forward. Much Love.
You both did not deserve any of what you went through but I'm so glad you found Mark and you have Ellie. I feel like you needed to vent and we're always here to listen!
You are such a strong woman. Thank you for being vulnerable on here and sharing YOUR story. You are an amazing mom and have raised two wonderful girls!❤️
Heather you are so very strong and an amazing mother. I have respect for Mark, but after listening to your story, I have even more respect for Mark for what he did! Keep being amazing! Love your family so so so much!
Everyone has a story and not everyone is able to share their stories but I’m glad that you did. I know that you have been through a lot and I think it’s so inspiring that you’re able to share your experiences and story with others❤️
Thank you for opening up ❤I truly can’t imagine going through that. And I’m so sorry you had to go through it. But what a DAMN good mom you are Heather!!! ❤
I'm so glad you were able to tell your story. DNA does not make a father. A father is someone who nurtures and cares. Mark is basically her father. What a terrible time you went through and not knowing where to turn for help. You are an amazing mother to your children. I can tell in your videos they are your everything. You've done a great job. You deserve everything good that comes your way. You deserve it. Thanks so much for sharing with us. It cannot be easy and some scars never heal.
Kudos to you Heather for sharing your story!! I hope you feel a sense of relief in finally sharing YOUR story! Hopefully this can and will help someone else in a similar situation!! Proud of you for speaking your truth!
God bless you all. My husband has dealt with the same sort of things but with his ex wife. Now she's doing it to the kids. My son has already cut himself off from her. My daughter is over it but stays near her in fear of her doing something to herself. Even more mad respect for you Heather and Mark. Thank you for sharing!!!!
The part where she said Emma was screaming mommy made me cry. Neither one of you ever deserved this and I’m glad you were able too convince him too stop forcing her too go
I can relate to being emma at 13 and being forced to go see a parent that wanted nothing to do with me and was only thinking about themselves. I feel that going through these things made you both amazing people
This just shows why heather is such a good mother. Thank you for sharing this because it’s hard and I feel for Emma and you. I’m glad you all got good karma living your life in the warm weather and happy ❤
I’ve always enjoyed following you and your family,and you telling your story made me realize how strong and brave you and Emma are!! I admire Mark for sticking by your side as well. (Ellie is great too-didn’t want to leave her out)❤
Wow! I cant believe he took Emma from you that day!! I am so glad Mark was there for you! You are such a strong person and I am so proud of you for getting out!! Thank you for sharing your story!
Loved watching this and hearing your story. You are an incredibly strong woman and an amazing mother to both of your girls. Can't help but think that if people truly just listened to this whole video and read between the lines they would have the answer to the question they always ask but ya'll can't/don't answer.
It means so much that you would share your story and I know it will help so many people who have been through similar situations. Thank you Heather! I’m so sorry that you had to go through this but you and Emma are so strong for it. God bless your family!
I'm a very long-time viewer, I'm the same age as Emma and I've been watching y'all since I was 13 and still living in Indiana 🤭 I've always respected you so much Heather, both as a mother and as your own person, and it was very nice to be able to hear your story. It deeply increased my respect and admiration for you and I‘m honored that you decided to share your experiences with all of us. 💜💜
we are so proud of you Heather!!! I have been watching since you guys have lived in Indiana. As parents you and Mark should be incredibly proud of yourselves. of the beautiful family that you guys have raised. One of the only realist here on youtube. I would like to thank mark for all of the help that he had done. in reality he could have looked away and never helped. Mark you are such a kind hearted person and emma and ellie are so lucky to have you as their dad. Heather thank you for being such an amazing mother and helping me learn how i would like to be as a parent some day. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved this video. You are one hell of a momma and Mark is one hell of a daddy. The struggles brought you to the beautiful life and those beautiful girls. ❤️
the disrespect he showed to you & Emma omg i’m so sorry you went through all that! thankfully Mark was there & has always been there ❤ so proud of you Heather for sharing & so proud of the growth this family has been through aww Emma 😭😭 but i’m glad she’s has a REAL father for the last 13 plus years
I’m so sorry you went through that but wow you are so strong, and Emma is equally as strong. The way you speak with such grace on the situation even after how awful you were treated just shows what kind of person you are. You both are beautiful, strong women full of light and love and I’m so happy you found someone who deserves you. Mark is amazing. Thank you for sharing your story, we support and love your family so much ❤❤
Heather you are so incredibly strong! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m sorry you and Emma had to go through this. I’m glad that you and Emma found Mark. You guys are a great team and I’m glad you guys found a way out ❤ I love you guys!
I cried the whole video I’m so so sorry you and Emma had to go through that I couldn’t even imagine you ladies are so so incredibly strong thank you so much for sharing Heather💘
So sorry you had to go through all that you and Emma and I don’t know you personally, but just watching you through your videos I can honestly say you’re one of the best mothers I’ve ever seen
My “relationship” w my dad is very similar. He “fought so hard” just to drop me at my aunts or grandmas till it was time for me to go back home to my mom. I know exactly how she felt through those years and I don’t wish that on anyone
Oh my goodness this video had my crying. I’m so thankful Emma is ok what a scary and horrible thing for you guys to have to go through. I love your videos!
emma has turned into such an intelligent beautiful young lady! heather we are so proud of you for getting to where you are today. i have been watching your videos forever. i remember when emma was 13 and lived in indiana. i grew up watching you guys! i know it may sound crazy but you all have helped me grow into the person i am today❤
You’re an amazing mother and so strong! This story reminds me of the situation with my father. I’ll never understand it but it just makes us stronger. Mark is amazing and you and Emma are very lucky to have him! Stay strong and keep being amazing
Your story brought me to tears and I think mainly it’s because my mother has a similar story from when I was a child. I’m proud of you and Emma both today. You both deserve the world plus more. I’m so glad mark was there for you through it. Thank God for happy endings. I love you & your family. 🤍
This takes a lot of courage to share, I am glad that you may feel some relief by sharing this. You are so strong for making sure to do what was best for you and Emma back then. She is a beautiful and smart young lady and it’s no secret that you are a great mom to her and Ellie.
me and Emma are about the same age, & we’ve been in the same boat. i’m so sorry Emma ! ik how it feels. it sucks but thank god for our amazing step dads!
I am so proud of you for sharing your story. I loved getting to know more about you and your family. You are such a strong person and a good mom. Look at where you were then and look at where you are now. You survived.
thank you for sharing your story, you are an amazing women, Heather! Emma and Ellie are SO lucky to have such a selfless, caring, beautiful role model❤
Good for you Heather for not staying in a bad marriage. No one should take abuse of any kind. Mark is the total opposite of your ex. You two seem perfect together. ❤ Thanks for sharing your story
you and emma are so strong!! his best decision was to let emma go! he was just holding you guys back from succeeding. It seemed like he never really wanted emma because he loved and cared for her, he only wanted emma to keep her away from you and to hurt you. that is not a father!! You are a great mother ❤️
i am so proud of you for leaving that toxic relationship. i know how hard it can be but i’m happy for you for finding mark and raising emma and ellie to be strong beautiful girls.

My “relationship” w my dad is very similar. He “fought so hard” just to drop me at my aunts or grandmas till it was time for me to go back home to my mom. I know exactly how she felt through those years and I don’t wish that on anyone
Oh my goodness this video had my crying. I’m so thankful Emma is ok what a scary and horrible thing for you guys to have to go through. I love your videos!
Mark is such an amazing man and father!!
emma has turned into such an intelligent beautiful young lady! heather we are so proud of you for getting to where you are today. i have been watching your videos forever. i remember when emma was 13 and lived in indiana. i grew up watching you guys! i know it may sound crazy but you all have helped me grow into the person i am today❤
The “you are a fr**ken gardening tool” had me😂😂
So glad that you are in a better place in life now!!💓
You’re an amazing mother and so strong! This story reminds me of the situation with my father. I’ll never understand it but it just makes us stronger. Mark is amazing and you and Emma are very lucky to have him! Stay strong and keep being amazing
I am so sorry Heather that u had to deal with a piece of trash and had so much pressure early on in ur life. Ur an amazing mother and individual.
Your story brought me to tears and I think mainly it’s because my mother has a similar story from when I was a child. I’m proud of you and Emma both today. You both deserve the world plus more. I’m so glad mark was there for you through it. Thank God for happy endings. I love you & your family. 🤍
Thank you for being a great mother and woman! And thank you Mark for always having Heather's back.

This takes a lot of courage to share, I am glad that you may feel some relief by sharing this. You are so strong for making sure to do what was best for you and Emma back then. She is a beautiful and smart young lady and it’s no secret that you are a great mom to her and Ellie.
I’m so glad you got away from him and had mark there by your side. You and Emma are so strong! And I’m so sorry you had to go through that💔💕🥺

I am so proud of you for sharing your story. I loved getting to know more about you and your family. You are such a strong person and a good mom. Look at where you were then and look at where you are now. You survived.
thank you for sharing your story, you are an amazing women, Heather! Emma and Ellie are SO lucky to have such a selfless, caring, beautiful role model❤
Good for you Heather for not staying in a bad marriage. No one should take abuse of any kind. Mark is the total opposite of your ex. You two seem perfect together. ❤ Thanks for sharing your story
you and emma are so strong!! his best decision was to let emma go! he was just holding you guys back from succeeding. It seemed like he never really wanted emma because he loved and cared for her, he only wanted emma to keep her away from you and to hurt you. that is not a father!! You are a great mother ❤️
i am so proud of you for leaving that toxic relationship. i know how hard it can be but i’m happy for you for finding mark and raising emma and ellie to be strong beautiful girls.
You are an amazing mother! Sorry you guys had to go through that. But this makes me loves your family even more🙏🏽🙌🏽 thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing your story. You are so strong and I’m glad you found Mark. He is great dad to both Emma and Ellie.
I’m so sorry you and Emma went through that. So glad y’all have Mark! A REAL man!!!!!!
