What I dont get is how does she value a man more than her daughter? How was she on the streets with a child living in a tent at the bus stop?? That little girl has been a victim to someone already, you dont live that kind of life and not be some sort of victim to someone or something.

      "Most empaths attract abusive people." Isn't that the truth. I am an empath and all my life I have attracted abusive people who want to step on me and crush me for absolutely no reason; even those I have helped. I am glad this woman knows about God; because He is the only One who can help her straighten out her life. I accepted the Lord as my Savior at a very young age, so He protected me from a lot of abusive situations. However, all of us will be abused in one form or another as we go through life. I was never abused by parents or husbands or boyfriends; however, I suffered in he workplace and from people in general. At this point in my life I try to have very little contact with people; because as you rightly state empaths attract abusive people.
      You sound like an empath yourself. What has been your experience living life as an empath? How have you dealt with being different from other people and being misunderstood? Jesus was the quintessential empath; so I try to follow His example, but still life can be difficult.

      If Ishii's new man is encouraging her to come off drugs then his intentions regarding her daughter are probably OK. The men who are after the children will push the addiction in order to get access to the child while the mother is out of it. Day two is very early on but my money is on Ishii. She needs counselling to deal with the grief and guilt about her son's death. An accident that could happen to many an exhausted lone parent. There is an element of luck in all of our lives and there but for the grace of God ........

    I am glad that she has a home for herself and her daughter. Right now, Ishii is heartbreaking. I think her trauma is hitting her hard right now for several reasons;
    First, she’s coming off meth, which has left her even more raw and vulnerable.
    Secondly (and more significantly) this is this first time in a long time that she isn’t so overwhelmed by immediate crisis... that she can reflect on all that has happened.
    And finally, because Mark asked her about her life and provided an opportunity for her to tell her story, without judgement or criticism.
    I hope she can receive the support she needs to heal. And that the man in her life is sincere, and safe. She’s worth more as a survivor, than as a statistic. That goes double for her daughter.

      Yes, I'm praying for this beautiful woman and praying that she will remain off drugs. Sadly, it is not safe for her daughter to be in her care presently, she needs to be sober and to get into her apartment. Also, she stated that the man in her life doesn't even know them, which means she doesn't know him, yet. That is not a safe environment for a child, he could be a great guy, or he could not be. The cycle of abuse and molestation does not need to be repeated. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 @softwhiteunderbelly

    I feel terrible for this woman. She is beautiful and really needs help, a good mental treatment program. I think these type of videos can be really triggering for folks. It's to find a balance I think for Mark or anyone in this position. Asking them questions can really trigger them and possibly get them more depressed, but at the same time you can tell she really needed to talk. I can tell by Mark's tone and pauses that he is really touched by her story, her helplessness, etc. I hope we can get an update from her. Thanks for what you are doing Mark.

      Ooh Amen to this comment! While sifting through my thoughts and memories during therapy while we tried to figure out where my depression started, it first started with a rough childhood and never meeting my father; however, most situations afterwards that triggered depression including when I started using meth, I could connect every one of those bad times to bad situations that I was in with men. I'm not blaming the men particularly for my demise, but as soon as I decided to remain single and find love and acceptance within ME and not from guys, that's when I cleaned up, stood up, and raised up to the depression. It's really hard to do because most of us are afraid of being "alone", but finding that love inside yourself means you'll never be alone. Please let this woman find the peace and love internally 🙏🏾❤️

Being laid off can feel overwhelming and bring about crushing anxiety, depression, thoughts of hopelessness, even suicidal thoughts. One thing is certain, this too will pass, if you allow it. Although you may be unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is there. Things worked out in the past for you didn't they? They will work out again. Trust that.

    I asked the angels to guide her so she may find her way back to our creator. I pray she get her strength to walk away from this and start counseling and treatment program.

    I'm so so glad she found someone special... so many people could be saved if they had more social support, someone actually caring and listening. This interview reminded me of Dr. Breggin talking about mentall health and loss of social connections. Note how she said, that the hardest moments were when all the tragedies happened and there was no one. We are not meant to suffer alone...

    I watch these stories all the time, as I am also an addict, I am in recovery though. Been clean a little over two years now.
    Anyway, Ishii’s story really broke my heart. The let downs and constant disappointment in her life is devastating, and, unfortunately, it’s probably all she knows. I will pray for her and her daughter. I know others have expressed it too, but this man that she, herself, even stated is a stranger, makes me leary and worry about his motives. I really hope for herself, but more so her daughters sake, he is the man she believes him to be. I know that making her daughter go through all the bad things she did is clearly not something she wishes to inflict on her. Her situation is just tough, and poor woman is just trying to make it better. I wish there was someway to reach out to her. I hope she knows that she is beautiful and worth it.
