Wow! What an incredible story, it's like reading a book or watching a movie she's a good storyteller and beautiful person. Thanks Mark for this Sunday's interesting story.
This should be made into a movie. And I hope she reads this and knows she is worthy and capable of living a beautiful happy life and rebuilding a connection with her children. You are loved. You are strong. You are resilient Serenity!
Heart wrenching… 24 hours after watching and I can not stop thinking about her. I pray for her peace, safety and stability. I am an empathic person, I’m so sad for her traumas.
She has really stuck with me, too. I’ve returned to this episode several times already. Truly incredible woman, very strong and smart and caring. I can’t imagine surviving what she’s been through.
This is my 3rd time watching her in 5 days. I woke up thinking of her this morning. I don't pray but I have been hoping that she can see how much she has to offer this world and herself. Wish I could thank her for how much she helped me the night I first watched her video. ❤
Serenity needed to tell her story, it was therapeutic for her. I hope she continues talking about her life w a therapist and realizes her self worth. Thank you, Serenity and Mark.
@@janetjones7600 and who are you to judge? this is what trauma does to a person. how about put your money where your mouth is and find a way to help people who are in situations like this rather than troll on the internet. since you’re so much better.
@janetjones7600 wow. Harsh words. Who was she supposed to leave her kid with? Rather take said kid to an AA meeting than leave it out on the street with God knows who
Hi Serenity - since you finished speaking, the silence in this house is deafening. .. ppl climbing mt everest got nothing on you. Somehow you’ve made it through these darkest experiences and lived to tell it. . I’m thinking there must be better, kinder, warmer chapters ahead for you. I’m pulling for you. Deep respect for you. Thank you for sharing everything you did.
These kind of stories always get me.. it seems that there are some people in this world who only know pain. So much pain that they don’t know what to do when they feel joy. It’s heartbreaking. Unfortunately, when kids are raised in chaos, neglect, abuse, around drugs, violence, exposed to sex when they’re too young, etc.. this is what their definition of “normal” is. It’s all that they know. So naturally when they grow up to become adults, they tend to follow what they know. That’s why it is so important for parents to love and nurture, support, discipline, and teach their kids. Kids need to know that parents aren’t perfect and we all make mistakes.. but they need to see us keep trying to do and be better for them. Our kids see this (regardless of how we’re raised) and the cycle can be broken. They will only be better parents to their children. A lot of times in life when things never really work out, fall apart, you’re constantly hitting rock bottom, constantly experiencing the same types of hardships over and over.. we’re not learning from our mistakes. There are choices we are making subconsciously (mostly due to our perception of “normal”) over and over and over again and each time we’re falling harder and harder on our asses. When things like this happen, you have to take a step back and truly ask yourself “how do I break this cycle?” It’s a hard thing to do. Extremely hard. But traumatic events can change people. Serenity does not know her worth. She does not realize she is valuable. She was never taught how important she was as a child.. so she chooses to allow people to shit on her. I pray that she can love herself one day. I pray she sees the value in herself. I pray she can gain stability, complete sobriety, healing, and she can mend her wounds. She desperately needs healing.. seeing any person like her go through the things they do, is heartbreaking. There’s nothing anyone else can do to break this cycle for her. She has to make the decision that she deserves better and that she will become the best person she can be. The battle is against ourselves. And that’s really the hardest battle to fight. But she’s a fighter. That’s for sure. I pray things only go up from here for her. I really do. She deserves it ❤
She is my favorite guest. She has been through so much. Witnessing her best friend/brother ending his life and thinking she was to blame is enough to send anyone into downward spiral. Being raped at 7 yo by her own mom’s drug dealer makes me so sad. She never had a chance for healthy decision making. The fact she’s as put together as she is says SO much about her potential. You are amazing, Serenity! You’re beautiful and super intelligent. You still have so much empathy and ability to be honest. If anyone can kick the drugs, it’s YOU❤
I love how you call her a guest. theres an advert for betterhelp they do half way through some vids and the woman asking the q's says subjects i think and i was mortified
You can see bits and pieces of a great personality and sense of humor, but it's covered with so much sadness. She's in a constant sad face and its heartbreaking. Although, her survival is a sign that she is truly meant for so much more than the life she's been living.
Serenity, if you read this, I want to thank you for sharing your story. It broke my heart. I hope that you get the help you need and turn things around. You're still young enough to enjoy a huge chunk of life clean & sober. Your kids need you no matter how old they are. Please try. If not for yourself then for them. Make your brother and father proud! You can do it!! I believe in you. Have faith in your higher power and you can turn things around, i promise you 💕🙏
Serenity, if you ever see my message. Your story broke my heart, you are such an amazing person with a good heart. I hope one day you find peace and can go back to being a mom and being with your baby’s. Please don’t ever give up. The man telling you, You are on of the Lucky ones… your story’s not finished and you will get through this time in your life. You are strong and still have a lot left to accomplish!
this is the most powerful swub video i watched. this is the one that left me sobbing and throwing up. the way her story just kept on going, one tragedy after another. i had to pause a bit and get back. hold back tears a few times. then the last part really got me. you are one of the lucky ones. thank you serenity for sharing your story. there are powerful forces out there protecting you. i know you see it, and dont deny it any further.
I have watched so many interviews of yours over the course of 2 years, & I felt the need to make my first comment with Serenity. What a beautiful, lost soul.💔 She is so smart and has so much compassion. I really hope that she can find someone who makes her feel safe enough to reach out for help. She really deserves the best in life after everything she has been through. I am almost left speechless after watching her story. I can appreciate her sadness, and I understand why she feels that death follows her & takes everyone she loves. My cousin went through similar feelings about being what she described as an "Angel of Death". Serenity, if you do ever get to read these comments, please understand that you are enough. You are worth it & you deserve happiness, despite what you may believe. I hope you find the love and peace you are searching for & that you can be reunited w your babies and find happiness. Sending every ounce of my love to you.❤😢
The courage it must have taken to tell her story... Incredible... Addiction is a true curse in many senses. But I hope she really feels forgiven.. She defenitly deserves it after everything that has happened...
In these stories theres an undeniable correlation between atrocious parenting and their childrens horrible outcome. At some point the parents in this country need to be held accountable.
@@RGByeayouknowme we’re all victims of victims. Bad parents only come from bad parents so blame is pretty useless. It’s up to the individual to break the cycle unfortunately.
Parenting determines what the person will become & how their relationship will be. This is why being a good mom. It’s SO important to protect our children & help them see their worth
Thank you Serenity, for sharing your story. I watch Mark’s videos frequently, but your story profoundly touched me and moved me deeply. I want to say so many things to you, good things, but I also don’t want to overstep. So, I will just leave you with this - the part that pulled on my heart the hardest was when you told the story of you praying for forgiveness in the trunk of the car. I was confused when you commented that you could understand not being forgiven, because I was sitting there thinking how could you not be - of course you’d be forgiven. So, if I could wish anything for you, it would be that you find a way to forgive yourself. You deserve that. I’m a total stranger of the internet and even I could see that. You are a good person - it’s plain as day in the video I watched. I believe that your story and your courage in sharing it so honestly will and is helping other women, especially to stay safer, be smarter, be more aware of predators, especially now. I send you much love and much respect. Thank you. ❤
No, you're allowed to complain - not everyones complaint would hold the same weight. However, these do serve as reminders when times are tough, that there are people making it work through their own struggles. 😇
exactly my thoughts after this. im an escort but in a much more privileged and safe situation, lately really struggling with money to pay rent, after hearing the ending of this story i just broke down crying cause i have so much to be grateful for, even sleeping in my own bed tonight
You are one ☝️ of the few who get it !! Why is everyone so damn dumb and blind ?? She said GIRLs Go Missing!!!!!! Everyone is busy saying “I hope you get the help YOU need”
No. She still has kids out there that need her to stop choosing dangerous things so she can be there for them. She has everything if she wants it. Her husband chose pimping instead of football? There was only 1 choice if football didn't pan out? Before the gorilla pimp, as hard as it is, you had a choice. You had a choice to go to social services and a shelter, to clean up, or to get owned. You chose to get owned. You would obviously be good in health care or social work. You have a gorgeous personality. But nice does not mean good. You have to make better choices with no road map for better choices. You need a road map for better choices. I think only a religion can help you with that. Another person cannot save you. You need rules to keep you safe because you didn't grow up with rules to keep you safe. You have no road map to good. And you need to stop saying that people make choices because they are forced into it. Yes. Better decisions are not easy and they are terribly hard. And most people including me (not about substances but there are other forks in the road) will often make the wrong choice as hard as we try not to. But own that bad choice. So you can also own the good ones.
@@Creashoneagreed. A moral compass needs to be instilled. The higher power is available to her anytime. May she live up to her name for her children and the pure soul of all those who love her.
Serenity- from my heart, as someone who understands enormous trauma, grief, loss, abuse, addiction., homelessness. . I hope you can find the Worth within yourself to not keep getting in these cars with Evil men. You survived being sold into sex slavery and being nearly dead And Dopesick in a trunk in the desert. Your so traumatized by your past experiences that you were afraid to get out of the trunk when it mysteriously opened. . . My Heart goes out to both your immense Pain and also your Stregnth. You talked about healing your husband and also wound care/sepsis. You rewired your brain to learn to walk again! You have skills and I truly wish for you that you can use them to do right for yourself.
Listen to more of Marks interviews. You wonder why so many have terrible lives. Some conquer it and some don’t. I pray for them and ask God to give some of my blessings to them. I’ve had plenty to share. They are stronger than us and we are all children of God. We need to be there for each other. What a beautiful human being here. God will bless her. She just needs to accept them and keep sober. Can’t do it on drugs. Sober life can be tough but it can be done.
I’m at a loss for the right words but. Other than thank you for having the whereabouts to get your kids to safety. I hope you will now find the strength to save yourself. Two little kids will always want their mom.
I don't think I've ever wanted to hug anyone more. She is so worthy of love and carries around this immense guilt over things she hasn't done and circumstances that weren't of her making. There is no need to ask for forgiveness. I hope she gives herself grace and stops looking for it elsewhere.
Dear Serenity, I hope you see these messages. When I come to LA from Australia I would love to shake your hand , give you a hug and say thank you for being as brave as you are. That last bit tore me up. Mark, you have opened up a world that we all need to start understanding more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You mentioned the part about your brother shooting himself and later being told he didn't know what he was doing. Thank you for sharing that. It made me feel like I'm not alone. My fiance did pretty much the same thing. He was passed out and shot himself in the head in front of me. No one would believe me and of course rumors went around that i did it. I'm so sorry you had to go through so much and still have to. Keep safe.
Oh wow my heart goes out to you ❤ that is so awful. I found my daddy right after he shot himself in the head late Christmas night at 5 years old. He was blacked out drunk and made a stupid error in judgement that led to my first memory being that image. You never forget it…
Thank you so much Serenity for sharing your story. Thank you so much Mark for doing what you do. You are doing a great service to the world, teaching us about ourselves and our existence.
Wow, this story will definitely stick with me. We will need an update on her. I truly hope she will get clean or stay clean, find her children, husband, brother in law and Nieces. Very deep story.
Hi Mark. Thank you for another incredible interview. I think the world of the work you do and the goodness you spread. Serenity... your story is so troubling. My heart skipped a few bit a few times listening to the ordeal life has put you through. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hope you will heal and find a better way of living. I wish a lot less people would say or write that all this horrors are the product of addiction. Sometime we speak of it as if it was, normal, that the chemicals themself were doing all this. Chemicals don't do politics. They don't design social policies, morals, empathy or hatred. What truly drives these lives to such extrems and terrible events is how us, as a society have decided, agreed or 'laissez-faire' to handle drugs, addictions and addicts. Which is often globaly reffered to as the "war on drugs", a war still going on since the 80s, and has yet to be won. If not just prove to ever be winable anyway... Now before someone put words in my mouth, don't get me wrong, using drugs and developing chemical addiction and dependency are not good for the human body and mind. Not at all. I don't condone or encourage the consumption of high dependency products. And in a perfect world no one would want, need or turn to them. But we are not in a perfect world. And if the war on drug as proven anything, it's that it doesn't do any good on the people that dependant on this chemicals. And not only hasn't changed it for the better, but learly made it worse. The state of so many of the interviewvees here are not per se because of the product they ingest, but quite dramatically because of the life style it implies to have an addiction in our societies today, by-product of our policies, actions and social norms about addicts and addiction. Hearing stories such as Serenity's... I beleive history will judge us severly. And it's not like there is no better exemple that have already been made and that can be followed. Portugal, Switzerland, some countries and cities have drastically turn around their approach to addiction and the results in just few months, few years, are incredible. Especially when compared to the results of more than 40 years of "war on drugs". Which should be renamed "war on addicts" in all honesty and fairness. There is alwasy more we can do. And if it save just a few Serenity I'd say it's worthy. I think it's always worthy to invest in humans. Anyway, sorry for the long rambling, just my own 2 cents. I'm just touched, revolted and hurt to hear Serenity's interview. I hope we can do better about that in the future. Who knows, with more and more people's help maybe even in the present. Oh, and I encourage anyone to look up Dr. Gabor Mate about addiction, trauma, and plenty more related issues. Cheers
Incredible interview. She has a kind heart that's been broken so many times. I hope she gets help and continues her walk with God. She knows how the trunk opened. Others had been left to die. Please keep up updated on Serenity. The beautiful soul...
Raped at 7, fell in live with your rapist and then abandoned by him at age 12, abandonded by your parents, by your brother, then by everyone. Most horrific story i could ever imagine. This woman deserves a real chance at life.
Her story is very similar to a long-time friend of mine, whose nephew I adopted. Sending this to her. And for those who are voicing disbelief: Your incredulity is such a testimony to your own life privilege. You’re so blessed. Because I have heard/seen worse, and I know there is even worse out there that I cannot comprehend. There is deep darkness in this place, and it seeks to destroy.
In another life she would've been an amazing nurse and caregiver. Compassionate, smart, caring. She's still so young, I hope she gets the means to get out of that lifestyle, like completely get out of it, and start over, because I know she would thrive. Good luck out there, Serenity ❤
The sad thing is if an addict on the street shares some of their story which could give a lot of insight into how they ended up at that place in their life their stories are so unbelievably sad, and filled with a lot of loss I think people often dismiss them and think they’re lying. Under the right circumstances and pain it could be any one of us.
I cried so many times during this story. Serenity doesn’t deserve any of this; regardless of choices, this is a frightening experience which isn’t even completely unique. To hear her say she thinks she’s the cause of so much death around her broke my heart. I understand why she would feel this way, but it’s completely wrong. She deserves sobriety and freedom from this lifestyle. She fought so hard for her life; she can fight for sobriety. Thank you for sharing your story, Serenity.
Yes thank you Serenity for sharing your story- and what a story it was , you are one strong lady to survive this long , and what a beautiful heart you have , after everything you have through, you still want to help other unfortunate addicts - because you know most addicts have a sad traumatic story to tell , I hope you go on to have a wonderful safe life , I hope you also reconnect with your children because their love for you will I hope help you heal x Thinking of you all the way from Auckland city - New Zealand ❤
You are an amazing young lady! Honestly your journey was incredibly riviting! I wanted to reach into my phone and give you a huge hug! Prayers for healing. 🙏🏻 I’m very sorry to hear about your husband’s cancer.
wow mark, ive been watching your interviews for a couple years now. Ive never been brought to tears like this before. This poor woman has been through so much and you can see it in her eyes.
I have watched a ton of these videos. This particular one got me; even before she got to the part of her premature baby. This life story is absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking. I pray she heals and reunits with her kids.
Thank you, Serenity. You're an amazing storyteller with a bravery very few possess. To be willing and able to share your story with us takes so much bravery and heart. You aren't going to hell, and neither is your brother.
Wow. I just finished watching... and I have been left speechless, Serenity 💔 Thank you for sharing your story with us. Never stop sharing your story. I pray for you to find light and peace 💕 Hearing this story both: destroys the idea of hope for humanity (with it's evil nature), while at the same time Serenity is the idea of hope for humanity!
Mark can’t help everyone but don’t assume he didn’t offer. He offered help to a similar recent interviewee (Karizma) and she just left for Vegas. Many interviewees have been damaged by abusive upbringings and don’t feel worthy of help and a good life-it’s sad. 😢
Feels like Mark held onto Rebecca bc he was such a shit show, it brought views. Idk, seemed strange the amount of interest Mark showed toward him and not any of the other interviewees
This is the only story that brought me to tears and I’ve been binging these for days now. So powerful that ending. And her delivery. This woman has seen hell. And lived to tell. My heart bleeds for you serenity, god bless you.
I can't even put into words how this interview made me feel, how she is still here I do not know. I felt every life experience in her story just by listening to her tell it. She deserves so much happiness and a much better life. I hope something happens to turn her life around and show her life can be happy amazing and so fun ❤
This is truly one of the most horrific life stories I have ever heard!! I pray this girl is having a good life now. She absolutely deserves a terrific life after all the tragedy she has experienced. Thank God you were saved and I hope the best for her.
I have been thinking of this beautiful person for days after watching this video. I wish there was a way for me to tell her how much I appreciated her sharing her story. It helped me tremendously. Now I want to do something to help her. And I bet there are a lot of people feeling the same way right now. Hope she reads this and knows that. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
These are stories where you are clearly given another chance at life whether it’s from a higher power or chance, absolutely take it. My heart goes out to you and your a strong women. I hope the next part of your life is all blessings. ❤
That was F-ing epic. Heartbreaking and very relatable because of my own life, but epic. Serenity has been put on this earth to help others, I believe. She deserves to have the rest of her life on easy street, not skid row.
‘Sold and never come back’ people looking for missing people. I could not deal with a quarter of what she has dealt with. In this vastness where people can disappear and lost to the depraved .
wow! Thank you for sharing your story. I just want to give her a big hug. You should write a book. I hope you find peace and happiness you deserve it. I hope she is able to get into a program and or get some kind of help. I can't even imagine going through half of what you have seen and gone through in life, but you can do it there is a world of clean and sober waiting for you.
I’m so sorry about her brother. He made a decision when he wasn’t in his right mind and the context of their relationship was a loving one, so although I empathise that she wishes she hadn’t said a flippant thing in the emotions of the moment it doesn’t make her responsible and I don’t doubt her brother would not want her to assume that responsibility. It sounds like they loved each other very much, and a loving brother would want her to be well and flourish. I hope she finds her way.
Serenity, you are a wounded Healer. You've experienced so much tragedy and loss in your life, but you are compassionate and care for your fellow human beings with your whole heart. Please God give this girl protection and stability so that she can use the gifts shes been given to help others.
Thank you for sharing Serenity's story, Mark. Serenity is a strong and beautiful woman. She has survived all of these circumstances and is here for a reason. I feel like her story could help so many others out there. I wish her the best.
I sure hope she gets her life back on track and can mend her relationship with her children. Prayers out to her and her kiddos and to their father as well.
I love hearing people’s stories, and get told I should tell mine or write a book. But I’d rather discuss it all and see what growth I can get from hearing perceptions and opinions on it all
I always watch your interviews and never comment. It truly breaks my heart to hear these broken people's stories, it is even more devastating to know that most of these people have kids who will have the same destiny as their parents and the cycle will continue.
Girl… You’re ALIVE. The best way to honor the ones you’ve lost and to spite the ones who turned their backs on you when you needed needed them the most is a life well lived. A full life. Where the things that have happened to you may shape you to an extent by way of experience, but they don’t necessarily have to define who you are or shape your future. My son is autistic too… You and I have a LOT in common, girl.
This is one of those interviews i really wish a psychologist was there to comfort her. Mark talks about how this is not a "fixing" channel but these people are pouring their hearts and souls out. They need to be reassured and validated and Mark doesn't do that. Not even a "its going to be ok".
I know right. What kills me is that it starts as a child, these humans are so messed up due to ptsd/trauma from abusive adults, who do we blame for a person turning out exactly how they are conditioned to being raised. No winners here.
Serenity...God popped that trunk for you & YOU KNOW IT! He has been offering you a different way of life that YOU ARE SO DESERVING OF & keep passing up!!! Did you ever honestly work all 12 steps in AA? You left the rooms of recovery before the miracle happened for you...many ppl leave before😢. Don't let all the death around you define you...there is a way for you to help others...GET BACK INTO RECOVERY. I've been around a few 24 hrs & know you are being sought after from above. When we don't learn the lesson, there are plenty more situations that we put ourselves in that will offer a much needed lesson. AND YES IT CAN 100% ALWAYS GET WORSE & it will in time. I attend recovery conferences & listen to leads from all over, some have similar stories like yours...all have lived to share in hopes to help others stay clean & sober by sharing their stories. Praying for you sister...for you were meant for MORE THAN WHAT & WHO YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. Get into recovery & just watch...be amazed @ what God can & will do for you, because he ❤ you Serenity.
What a broken but beautiful soul lady! .. If you got clean before, you Can do it again .. 2 precious kids who need their precious mum safe and well.. i hope you can overcome the lies in your mind and heal from the evils that others have done. You are precious in God's sight, more than you know!..He has you here for a God given purpose..He's waiting with open arms ❤🙏
Serenity thank you so much for sharing your story. How very brave of you. It’s not easy to get on such a large platform and share a lot of the traumatic things that have happened to you. I’m so sorry about your brother, husband and boyfriend. I really hope you can find love and happiness within yourself one day. Sending you lots of love and hugs 🖤🫶🏼
My heart goes out to her, and I also feel so grateful being an ex addict I have been through some things, but nothing quite like this I hope and pray that she finds a way out 😢
After everything Serenity has been through, I hope she gets the help she needs to live a healthy life. God gave you another chance to do better, make the most of it! 🌻
everybody thinks that the best fighters are the ones that can knock everyone out, in reality the best fighters are the ones that can keep getting up over and over again, Serenity is one of those people
Wow. I had no idea things like this went on! Heating first hand how this brave woman survived really opened my eyes. Thank you for sharing this with us .
Wow, what a story she has! What a life she has, swept around by the currents of madness and chaos. A great challenge to overcome and she’s made it this far, awesome and admirable. A person knows not what they do, they just live.
How can this much happen to one person! And she still has the mental clarity to tell her mind-blowing life story in such detail. She is one tough human being ♡
I am in awe (in a very sympathetic and sad way) of what Serenity has endured. God opened that trunk. God directed her in which way to run in the desert. God put that man in her path to pick her up. There is a reason why Serenity is still alive after what she has gone through. I believe we all have a purpose. I'm 71 years young, and I still haven't discovered mine. I was spellbound the entire time I watched this video. I've watched many of these and this is the one that will remain with me. Serenity, should you read this, please know that you have yet to fulfill your purpose. God rescued you from each misfortune for a reason. I trust you will eventually "fulfill His prophecy" in such a way that only you can. I am not a super religious person but I have seen things and have encountered things enough to know there is a higher being than ourselves. I have faith that you will learn what you are to do. Thank you, Serenity, for being so very courageous and brave to tell us your story.
I'm not much for prayer either Serenity - but I am going to pray for you. You are a good person. You are not your addiction. You are not what happened to you. Sending you love.
Love to you both. So glad that trunk opened Serenity. I hope you find some peace and happiness with the rest of your life. Your a strong and courageous soul, good luck!💜
Wow! What an incredible story, it's like reading a book or watching a movie she's a good storyteller and beautiful person. Thanks Mark for this Sunday's interesting story.
Life mimic’s art (Hollywood). If you notice everything they put out eventually manifests. Monkey see, monkey do. Look at all the shootings.
Almost like it’s not true…
@@charlesiehagertough one. maybe just exaggerated.
❤❤❤😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅❤😅❤❤😮@@southside-rabbitslayer
This should be made into a movie. And I hope she reads this and knows she is worthy and capable of living a beautiful happy life and rebuilding a connection with her children. You are loved. You are strong. You are resilient Serenity!
She doesn't have a bad thing to say about anyone despite everything she's gone thru. Sending her so much love
mind blownn
I noticed this as well. What an inspirational soul.
WE NEED A UPDATE ON HER !!! this was too good
Heart wrenching… 24 hours after watching and I can not stop thinking about her. I pray for her peace, safety and stability. I am an empathic person, I’m so sad for her traumas.
I’m praying for her too. ❤️
She has really stuck with me, too. I’ve returned to this episode several times already. Truly incredible woman, very strong and smart and caring. I can’t imagine surviving what she’s been through.
Same here
❤😢
❤
This is my 3rd time watching her in 5 days. I woke up thinking of her this morning. I don't pray but I have been hoping that she can see how much she has to offer this world and herself. Wish I could thank her for how much she helped me the night I first watched her video. ❤
Serenity needed to tell her story, it was therapeutic for her. I hope she continues talking about her life w a therapist and realizes her self worth. Thank you, Serenity and Mark.
@@janetjones7600 and who are you to judge? this is what trauma does to a person. how about put your money where your mouth is and find a way to help people who are in situations like this rather than troll on the internet. since you’re so much better.
@@janetjones7600Two kids!
@janetjones7600 oh to live in a world of unicorns and rainbows like you 😂
@janetjones7600 wow. Harsh words. Who was she supposed to leave her kid with? Rather take said kid to an AA meeting than leave it out on the street with God knows who
@@janetjones7600Oh, thank goodness you’re perfect.
This has to be one of the most devastating episodes to watch. This poor woman. I hope she gets the peace she desperately deserves.
I totally agree with you. Heartbreaking
well said

I think anyone would be on drugs after going through all of that
Hi Serenity - since you finished speaking, the silence in this house is deafening. .. ppl climbing mt everest got nothing on you. Somehow you’ve made it through these darkest experiences and lived to tell it. . I’m thinking there must be better, kinder, warmer chapters ahead for you. I’m pulling for you. Deep respect for you. Thank you for sharing everything you did.
all i can hear is my computer fan. WTF did I just watch. I hope the best for her.
Well I guess from here there can only be better kinder chapters. Things can't get much worse in this world
These kind of stories always get me.. it seems that there are some people in this world who only know pain. So much pain that they don’t know what to do when they feel joy. It’s heartbreaking. Unfortunately, when kids are raised in chaos, neglect, abuse, around drugs, violence, exposed to sex when they’re too young, etc.. this is what their definition of “normal” is. It’s all that they know. So naturally when they grow up to become adults, they tend to follow what they know. That’s why it is so important for parents to love and nurture, support, discipline, and teach their kids. Kids need to know that parents aren’t perfect and we all make mistakes.. but they need to see us keep trying to do and be better for them. Our kids see this (regardless of how we’re raised) and the cycle can be broken. They will only be better parents to their children. A lot of times in life when things never really work out, fall apart, you’re constantly hitting rock bottom, constantly experiencing the same types of hardships over and over.. we’re not learning from our mistakes. There are choices we are making subconsciously (mostly due to our perception of “normal”) over and over and over again and each time we’re falling harder and harder on our asses. When things like this happen, you have to take a step back and truly ask yourself “how do I break this cycle?” It’s a hard thing to do. Extremely hard. But traumatic events can change people. Serenity does not know her worth. She does not realize she is valuable. She was never taught how important she was as a child.. so she chooses to allow people to shit on her. I pray that she can love herself one day. I pray she sees the value in herself. I pray she can gain stability, complete sobriety, healing, and she can mend her wounds. She desperately needs healing.. seeing any person like her go through the things they do, is heartbreaking. There’s nothing anyone else can do to break this cycle for her. She has to make the decision that she deserves better and that she will become the best person she can be. The battle is against ourselves. And that’s really the hardest battle to fight. But she’s a fighter. That’s for sure. I pray things only go up from here for her. I really do. She deserves it ❤
Is Serenity still on drugs? Where are the kids and how are they doing?
"She was a good mom... i mean, she was a good friend. She tried" god that made me so sad
She is my favorite guest. She has been through so much. Witnessing her best friend/brother ending his life and thinking she was to blame is enough to send anyone into downward spiral. Being raped at 7 yo by her own mom’s drug dealer makes me so sad. She never had a chance for healthy decision making. The fact she’s as put together as she is says SO much about her potential. You are amazing, Serenity! You’re beautiful and super intelligent. You still have so much empathy and ability to be honest. If anyone can kick the drugs, it’s YOU❤
Perfectly worded
“Super intelligent”, well, it’s quite obvious you have never been around average intelligence.
You have strenght that you do not even know! It is not how you begin but how you end" take care girl 😢
Very well said 👏
I love how you call her a guest. theres an advert for betterhelp they do half way through some vids and the woman asking the q's says subjects i think and i was mortified
You can see bits and pieces of a great personality and sense of humor, but it's covered with so much sadness. She's in a constant sad face and its heartbreaking. Although, her survival is a sign that she is truly meant for so much more than the life she's been living.
Serenity, if you read this, I want to thank you for sharing your story. It broke my heart. I hope that you get the help you need and turn things around. You're still young enough to enjoy a huge chunk of life clean & sober. Your kids need you no matter how old they are. Please try. If not for yourself then for them. Make your brother and father proud! You can do it!! I believe in you.
Have faith in your higher power and you can turn things around, i promise you 💕🙏
me as well
Agreed..❤
She needs feith in herself.
Serenity, if you ever see my message. Your story broke my heart, you are such an amazing person with a good heart. I hope one day you find peace and can go back to being a mom and being with your baby’s. Please don’t ever give up. The man telling you, You are on of the Lucky ones… your story’s not finished and you will get through this time in your life. You are strong and still have a lot left to accomplish!
this is the most powerful swub video i watched. this is the one that left me sobbing and throwing up. the way her story just kept on going, one tragedy after another. i had to pause a bit and get back. hold back tears a few times. then the last part really got me. you are one of the lucky ones.
thank you serenity for sharing your story. there are powerful forces out there protecting you. i know you see it, and dont deny it any further.
I have watched so many interviews of yours over the course of 2 years, & I felt the need to make my first comment with Serenity. What a beautiful, lost soul.💔 She is so smart and has so much compassion. I really hope that she can find someone who makes her feel safe enough to reach out for help. She really deserves the best in life after everything she has been through. I am almost left speechless after watching her story. I can appreciate her sadness, and I understand why she feels that death follows her & takes everyone she loves. My cousin went through similar feelings about being what she described as an "Angel of Death". Serenity, if you do ever get to read these comments, please understand that you are enough. You are worth it & you deserve happiness, despite what you may believe. I hope you find the love and peace you are searching for & that you can be reunited w your babies and find happiness. Sending every ounce of my love to you.❤😢
That ending is gonna stick with me for a lifetime
Yeah, my favorite episode for sure.
Now I'll have to watch the whole story tonight. I was planning on breaking it up..
Eyeroll
@@terrytownsend5583for what?!
The courage it must have taken to tell her story... Incredible... Addiction is a true curse in many senses. But I hope she really feels forgiven.. She defenitly deserves it after everything that has happened...
In these stories theres an undeniable correlation between atrocious parenting and their childrens horrible outcome. At some point the parents in this country need to be held accountable.
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK !!! Bad parenting is 95% of the problem.
@@RGByeayouknowme we’re all victims of victims.
Bad parents only come from bad parents so blame is pretty useless. It’s up to the individual to break the cycle unfortunately.
Despite bad parents, you can always take your own wheel, yeah NO parents are perfect but even when they try hard bad things can come of kids.
As the saying goes; ‘hurt people, hurt people’
Parenting determines what the person will become & how their relationship will be. This is why being a good mom. It’s SO important to protect our children & help them see their worth
Her mom used her to pay for drugs, serenity is strong for being here today and telling this story.
This was so painful. Just so heart wrenching. I hope this young girl finds comfort and solace in her complicated life. 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you Serenity, for sharing your story. I watch Mark’s videos frequently, but your story profoundly touched me and moved me deeply. I want to say so many things to you, good things, but I also don’t want to overstep. So, I will just leave you with this - the part that pulled on my heart the hardest was when you told the story of you praying for forgiveness in the trunk of the car. I was confused when you commented that you could understand not being forgiven, because I was sitting there thinking how could you not be - of course you’d be forgiven. So, if I could wish anything for you, it would be that you find a way to forgive yourself. You deserve that. I’m a total stranger of the internet and even I could see that. You are a good person - it’s plain as day in the video I watched. I believe that your story and your courage in sharing it so honestly will and is helping other women, especially to stay safer, be smarter, be more aware of predators, especially now. I send you much love and much respect. Thank you. ❤
How DARE me complain about anything. Thanks Mark. Love your channel. Starts my day off with a real reality check.
No, you're allowed to complain - not everyones complaint would hold the same weight. However, these do serve as reminders when times are tough, that there are people making it work through their own struggles. 😇
exactly my thoughts after this. im an escort but in a much more privileged and safe situation, lately really struggling with money to pay rent, after hearing the ending of this story i just broke down crying cause i have so much to be grateful for, even sleeping in my own bed tonight
There's always someone else going through so much more than we have ever witnessed.
What a clever title Mark. I hope we can get a follow up in the future.
I get it. As soon as she prayed the trunk opening is unbelievable! And that man that drove her to LA was an angel! Hallelujah praise god❤
You are one ☝️ of the few who get it !! Why is everyone so damn dumb and blind ?? She said GIRLs Go Missing!!!!!! Everyone is busy saying “I hope you get the help YOU need”
She lost absolutely everyone in her life except for herself. Much love, thank you for this.❤🔥
No. She still has kids out there that need her to stop choosing dangerous things so she can be there for them. She has everything if she wants it. Her husband chose pimping instead of football? There was only 1 choice if football didn't pan out? Before the gorilla pimp, as hard as it is, you had a choice. You had a choice to go to social services and a shelter, to clean up, or to get owned. You chose to get owned. You would obviously be good in health care or social work. You have a gorgeous personality. But nice does not mean good. You have to make better choices with no road map for better choices. You need a road map for better choices. I think only a religion can help you with that. Another person cannot save you. You need rules to keep you safe because you didn't grow up with rules to keep you safe. You have no road map to good. And you need to stop saying that people make choices because they are forced into it. Yes. Better decisions are not easy and they are terribly hard. And most people including me (not about substances but there are other forks in the road) will often make the wrong choice as hard as we try not to. But own that bad choice. So you can also own the good ones.
@@Creashoneagreed. A moral compass needs to be instilled. The higher power is available to her anytime. May she live up to her name for her children and the pure soul of all those who love her.
Serenity- from my heart, as someone who understands enormous trauma, grief, loss, abuse, addiction., homelessness. . I hope you can find the Worth within yourself to not keep getting in these cars with Evil men.
You survived being sold into sex slavery and being nearly dead And Dopesick in a trunk in the desert.
Your so traumatized by your past experiences that you were afraid to get out of the trunk when it mysteriously opened. . .
My Heart goes out to both your immense Pain and also your Stregnth.
You talked about healing your husband and also wound care/sepsis. You rewired your brain to learn to walk again!
You have skills and I truly wish for you that you can use them to do right for yourself.
I’ve watched so many of these now that as soon as Serenity started to cry I knew Marks magic hand would appear from nowhere with a tissue 😅
Naturally
😂 Yeah, me to.
Lmfao I always anticipate his hand too! 😂
TP
I wonder how much he spend on tissues alone😂😂😂😂
This has to be the most heartbreaking interview ive ever watched 😪💔
Listen to more of Marks interviews. You wonder why so many have terrible lives. Some conquer it and some don’t. I pray for them and ask God to give some of my blessings to them. I’ve had plenty to share. They are stronger than us and we are all children of God. We need to be there for each other. What a beautiful human being here. God will bless her. She just needs to accept them and keep sober. Can’t do it on drugs. Sober life can be tough but it can be done.
i’ve never seen something so raw, so real. just wow..
This is one hell of a heartbreaking and traumatic story. I hope there is a future follow-up.
I’m at a loss for the right words but.
Other than thank you for having the whereabouts to get your kids to safety.
I hope you will now find the strength to save yourself. Two little kids will always want their mom.
I don't think I've ever wanted to hug anyone more. She is so worthy of love and carries around this immense guilt over things she hasn't done and circumstances that weren't of her making. There is no need to ask for forgiveness. I hope she gives herself grace and stops looking for it elsewhere.
Dear Serenity, I hope you see these messages. When I come to LA from Australia I would love to shake your hand , give you a hug and say thank you for being as brave as you are. That last bit tore me up. Mark, you have opened up a world that we all need to start understanding more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You mentioned the part about your brother shooting himself and later being told he didn't know what he was doing. Thank you for sharing that. It made me feel like I'm not alone. My fiance did pretty much the same thing. He was passed out and shot himself in the head in front of me. No one would believe me and of course rumors went around that i did it.
I'm so sorry you had to go through so much and still have to.
Keep safe.
Oh wow my heart goes out to you ❤ that is so awful. I found my daddy right after he shot himself in the head late Christmas night at 5 years old. He was blacked out drunk and made a stupid error in judgement that led to my first memory being that image. You never forget it…
The account we all have with the US Treasury ?? With our birth certificate number ???? What ????
Thank you so much Serenity for sharing your story. Thank you so much Mark for doing what you do. You are doing a great service to the world, teaching us about ourselves and our existence.
Her delivery was very smooth and easy to follow, hope things get better in the future.
I don't have words to describe how her story made me feel. I just want to give her a hug.
Wow, this story will definitely stick with me. We will need an update on her. I truly hope she will get clean or stay clean, find her children, husband, brother in law and Nieces. Very deep story.
Hi Mark. Thank you for another incredible interview. I think the world of the work you do and the goodness you spread.
Serenity... your story is so troubling. My heart skipped a few bit a few times listening to the ordeal life has put you through. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hope you will heal and find a better way of living.
I wish a lot less people would say or write that all this horrors are the product of addiction. Sometime we speak of it as if it was, normal, that the chemicals themself were doing all this.
Chemicals don't do politics. They don't design social policies, morals, empathy or hatred.
What truly drives these lives to such extrems and terrible events is how us, as a society have decided, agreed or 'laissez-faire' to handle drugs, addictions and addicts. Which is often globaly reffered to as the "war on drugs", a war still going on since the 80s, and has yet to be won. If not just prove to ever be winable anyway...
Now before someone put words in my mouth, don't get me wrong, using drugs and developing chemical addiction and dependency are not good for the human body and mind. Not at all. I don't condone or encourage the consumption of high dependency products. And in a perfect world no one would want, need or turn to them.
But we are not in a perfect world. And if the war on drug as proven anything, it's that it doesn't do any good on the people that dependant on this chemicals. And not only hasn't changed it for the better, but learly made it worse.
The state of so many of the interviewvees here are not per se because of the product they ingest, but quite dramatically because of the life style it implies to have an addiction in our societies today, by-product of our policies, actions and social norms about addicts and addiction. Hearing stories such as Serenity's... I beleive history will judge us severly.
And it's not like there is no better exemple that have already been made and that can be followed. Portugal, Switzerland, some countries and cities have drastically turn around their approach to addiction and the results in just few months, few years, are incredible. Especially when compared to the results of more than 40 years of "war on drugs". Which should be renamed "war on addicts" in all honesty and fairness.
There is alwasy more we can do. And if it save just a few Serenity I'd say it's worthy. I think it's always worthy to invest in humans.
Anyway, sorry for the long rambling, just my own 2 cents. I'm just touched, revolted and hurt to hear Serenity's interview. I hope we can do better about that in the future. Who knows, with more and more people's help maybe even in the present.
Oh, and I encourage anyone to look up Dr. Gabor Mate about addiction, trauma, and plenty more related issues.
Cheers
Incredible interview. She has a kind heart that's been broken so many times. I hope she gets help and continues her walk with God. She knows how the trunk opened. Others had been left to die.
Please keep up updated on Serenity. The beautiful soul...
Raped at 7, fell in live with your rapist and then abandoned by him at age 12, abandonded by your parents, by your brother, then by everyone. Most horrific story i could ever imagine. This woman deserves a real chance at life.
Her story is very similar to a long-time friend of mine, whose nephew I adopted. Sending this to her. And for those who are voicing disbelief: Your incredulity is such a testimony to your own life privilege. You’re so blessed. Because I have heard/seen worse, and I know there is even worse out there that I cannot comprehend. There is deep darkness in this place, and it seeks to destroy.
In another life she would've been an amazing nurse and caregiver. Compassionate, smart, caring. She's still so young, I hope she gets the means to get out of that lifestyle, like completely get out of it, and start over, because I know she would thrive. Good luck out there, Serenity ❤
The sad thing is if an addict on the street shares some of their story which could give a lot of insight into how they ended up at that place in their life their stories are so unbelievably sad, and filled with a lot of loss I think people often dismiss them and think they’re lying. Under the right circumstances and pain it could be any one of us.
Absolutely
Aint that the truth.
Exactly
I cried so many times during this story. Serenity doesn’t deserve any of this; regardless of choices, this is a frightening experience which isn’t even completely unique.
To hear her say she thinks she’s the cause of so much death around her broke my heart. I understand why she would feel this way, but it’s completely wrong.
She deserves sobriety and freedom from this lifestyle. She fought so hard for her life; she can fight for sobriety.
Thank you for sharing your story, Serenity.
Yes thank you Serenity for sharing your story- and what a story it was , you are one strong lady to survive this long , and what a beautiful heart you have , after everything you have through, you still want to help other unfortunate addicts - because you know most addicts have a sad traumatic story to tell , I hope you go on to have a wonderful safe life , I hope you also reconnect with your children because their love for you will I hope help you heal x Thinking of you all the way from Auckland city - New Zealand ❤
It never ceases to inspire me how people get up from such tragic circumstances and make some semblance of a surviving life.
You are an amazing young lady! Honestly your journey was incredibly riviting! I wanted to reach into my phone and give you a huge hug! Prayers for healing. 🙏🏻 I’m very sorry to hear about your husband’s cancer.
"amazing"???....Ha, ha, ha
wow mark, ive been watching your interviews for a couple years now. Ive never been brought to tears like this before. This poor woman has been through so much and you can see it in her eyes.
This was amazing. I have no words. Mark- you’re so amazing to help people share their stories that we need to hear. This poor baby 💔
I have watched a ton of these videos. This particular one got me; even before she got to the part of her premature baby. This life story is absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking. I pray she heals and reunits with her kids.
Thank you, Serenity. You're an amazing storyteller with a bravery very few possess. To be willing and able to share your story with us takes so much bravery and heart. You aren't going to hell, and neither is your brother.
Wow. I just finished watching... and I have been left speechless, Serenity 💔
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Never stop sharing your story.
I pray for you to find light and peace 💕
Hearing this story both: destroys the idea of hope for humanity (with it's evil nature), while at the same time Serenity is the idea of hope for humanity!
in my own desperate need this channel is there
Mark, could she be offered the help that Rebecca refuses? She would I feel greatly benefit! ❤
Mark can’t help everyone but don’t assume he didn’t offer. He offered help to a similar recent interviewee (Karizma) and she just left for Vegas. Many interviewees have been damaged by abusive upbringings and don’t feel worthy of help and a good life-it’s sad. 😢
Exactly 💯
she is an addict and not all wont help
Feels like Mark held onto Rebecca bc he was such a shit show, it brought views. Idk, seemed strange the amount of interest Mark showed toward him and not any of the other interviewees
@@jennifers.3818Or maybe he took a genuine interest in Rebecca & they became friends.
This is the only story that brought me to tears and I’ve been binging these for days now. So powerful that ending. And her delivery. This woman has seen hell. And lived to tell. My heart bleeds for you serenity, god bless you.
I can't even put into words how this interview made me feel, how she is still here I do not know. I felt every life experience in her story just by listening to her tell it. She deserves so much happiness and a much better life. I hope something happens to turn her life around and show her life can be happy amazing and so fun ❤
This is truly one of the most horrific life stories I have ever heard!! I pray this girl is having a good life now. She absolutely deserves a terrific life after all the tragedy she has experienced. Thank God you were saved and I hope the best for her.
I have been thinking of this beautiful person for days after watching this video. I wish there was a way for me to tell her how much I appreciated her sharing her story. It helped me tremendously. Now I want to do something to help her. And I bet there are a lot of people feeling the same way right now. Hope she reads this and knows that. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
What a story. It is really many stories in one all with a sad ending. And to think she just wants to help others. Bless her.
You have been thru so much…I wish you the best, I hope you find peace.
The part about the little boy who got Kyle’s heart moved me😢
These are stories where you are clearly given another chance at life whether it’s from a higher power or chance, absolutely take it. My heart goes out to you and your a strong women. I hope the next part of your life is all blessings. ❤
That was F-ing epic. Heartbreaking and very relatable because of my own life, but epic.
Serenity has been put on this earth to help others, I believe. She deserves to have the rest of her life on easy street, not skid row.
‘Sold and never come back’ people looking for missing people. I could not deal with a quarter of what she has dealt with. In this vastness where people can disappear and lost to the depraved .
wow! Thank you for sharing your story. I just want to give her a big hug. You should write a book. I hope you find peace and happiness you deserve it. I hope she is able to get into a program and or get some kind of help. I can't even imagine going through half of what you have seen and gone through in life, but you can do it there is a world of clean and sober waiting for you.
Sadly, a lot of children are raised by television and on fast food.
not the root of her problems lol!!!!
@@Unfluencer Yes it is, children need that precious time spent with them.
Yes, if it weren’t for fast food, everything in her life would have gone perfectly.
@@jordanwood183 Maybe if the family would have spent time preparing a meal together and talking, they could have gotten to know each other.
Were. Not it's phones and tablets and door dash, if they're not on the street homeless.
I’m so sorry about her brother. He made a decision when he wasn’t in his right mind and the context of their relationship was a loving one, so although I empathise that she wishes she hadn’t said a flippant thing in the emotions of the moment it doesn’t make her responsible and I don’t doubt her brother would not want her to assume that responsibility. It sounds like they loved each other very much, and a loving brother would want her to be well and flourish. I hope she finds her way.
Everyone who chooses to end their life is not in the right mind that is the truth.
You have moved my heart. Don’t blame yourself for things that have happened in your life.
Serenity, you are a wounded Healer. You've experienced so much tragedy and loss in your life, but you are compassionate and care for your fellow human beings with your whole heart. Please God give this girl protection and stability so that she can use the gifts shes been given to help others.
Holy shit 😮😢 That was INTENSE. The resilience of this individual is amazing.
What a powerful ending to this interview.
Thank you for sharing Serenity's story, Mark. Serenity is a strong and beautiful woman. She has survived all of these circumstances and is here for a reason. I feel like her story could help so many others out there. I wish her the best.
I sure hope she gets her life back on track and can mend her relationship with her children. Prayers out to her and her kiddos and to their father as well.
Bless this woman. She’s been through so much. I pray she finds peace and happiness in her life. I wish I could hug her 🤍
I love hearing people’s stories, and get told I should tell mine or write a book. But I’d rather discuss it all and see what growth I can get from hearing perceptions and opinions on it all
I've been told so many times that I should write a book about my life. Problem is that there are so many things that just can't be put into words.
I hope she returns to recovery. She could help so many people. She has a beautiful heart and is a great storyteller. Love to you, Ms Serenity. ❤
When i seen it was an hour long i thought i couldnt sit through that... i was hooked. i wish you all the luck in the world lass xx
I always watch your interviews and never comment.
It truly breaks my heart to hear these broken people's stories, it is even more devastating to know that most of these people have kids who will have the same destiny as their parents and the cycle will continue.
The journey I went through, listening to her ❤ 🥺 this is a crash course in empathy
Girl…
You’re ALIVE.
The best way to honor the ones you’ve lost and to spite the ones who turned their backs on you when you needed needed them the most is a life well lived. A full life. Where the things that have happened to you may shape you to an extent by way of experience, but they don’t necessarily have to define who you are or shape your future.
My son is autistic too…
You and I have a LOT in common, girl.
This is one of those interviews i really wish a psychologist was there to comfort her. Mark talks about how this is not a "fixing" channel but these people are pouring their hearts and souls out. They need to be reassured and validated and Mark doesn't do that. Not even a "its going to be ok".
Thanks for sharing. I teared up on the part about her husband with their baby in the hospital.
I'm a big bad truck driver and a lot of these stores make me cry 😢
I know right. What kills me is that it starts as a child, these humans are so messed up due to ptsd/trauma from abusive adults, who do we blame for a person turning out exactly how they are conditioned to being raised. No winners here.
Hope you find the courage to change the things you can again, Serenity. You are stronger than you think.
Serenity...God popped that trunk for you & YOU KNOW IT! He has been offering you a different way of life that YOU ARE SO DESERVING OF & keep passing up!!!
Did you ever honestly work all 12 steps in AA?
You left the rooms of recovery before the miracle happened for you...many ppl leave before😢.
Don't let all the death around you define you...there is a way for you to help others...GET BACK INTO RECOVERY.
I've been around a few 24 hrs & know you are being sought after from above. When we don't learn the lesson, there are plenty more situations that we put ourselves in that will offer a much needed lesson. AND YES IT CAN 100% ALWAYS GET WORSE & it will in time.
I attend recovery conferences & listen to leads from all over, some have similar stories like yours...all have lived to share in hopes to help others stay clean & sober by sharing their stories. Praying for you sister...for you were meant for MORE THAN WHAT & WHO YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.
Get into recovery & just watch...be amazed @ what God can & will do for you, because he ❤ you Serenity.
What a broken but beautiful soul lady! .. If you got clean before, you Can do it again .. 2 precious kids who need their precious mum safe and well.. i hope you can overcome the lies in your mind and heal from the evils that others have done. You are precious in God's sight, more than you know!..He has you here for a God given purpose..He's waiting with open arms ❤🙏
Serenity thank you so much for sharing your story. How very brave of you. It’s not easy to get on such a large platform and share a lot of the traumatic things that have happened to you. I’m so sorry about your brother, husband and boyfriend. I really hope you can find love and happiness within yourself one day. Sending you lots of love and hugs 🖤🫶🏼
My heart goes out to her, and I also feel so grateful being an ex addict I have been through some things, but nothing quite like this I hope and pray that she finds a way out 😢
After everything Serenity has been through, I hope she gets the help she needs to live a healthy life. God gave you another chance to do better, make the most of it! 🌻
everybody thinks that the best fighters are the ones that can knock everyone out, in reality the best fighters are the ones that can keep getting up over and over again, Serenity is one of those people
Wow. I had no idea things like this went on! Heating first hand how this brave woman survived really opened my eyes. Thank you for sharing this with us .
What a beautiful storyteller! May you find yourself again and heal. Sending love and hugs to you, Serenity. ❤
it was an unbelievable journey..... Serenety, wish you all the best!
Wow…speechless, after the ending. Lord help us. I hope she finds her way up.
Wow, what a story she has! What a life she has, swept around by the currents of madness and chaos. A great challenge to overcome and she’s made it this far, awesome and admirable. A person knows not what they do, they just live.
How can this much happen to one person! And she still has the mental clarity to tell her mind-blowing life story in such detail. She is one tough human being ♡
One of the most powerful interviews on this channel. Serenity, I hope and pray that you find your way.
Bless this woman. I hope she experiences beauty for the rest of her life. She has gone through enough.
I am in awe (in a very sympathetic and sad way) of what Serenity has endured. God opened that trunk. God directed her in which way to run in the desert. God put that man in her path to pick her up. There is a reason why Serenity is still alive after what she has gone through. I believe we all have a purpose. I'm 71 years young, and I still haven't discovered mine. I was spellbound the entire time I watched this video. I've watched many of these and this is the one that will remain with me. Serenity, should you read this, please know that you have yet to fulfill your purpose. God rescued you from each misfortune for a reason. I trust you will eventually "fulfill His prophecy" in such a way that only you can. I am not a super religious person but I have seen things and have encountered things enough to know there is a higher being than ourselves. I have faith that you will learn what you are to do. Thank you, Serenity, for being so very courageous and brave to tell us your story.
Thank you for sharing that..🌻🥰
I'm not much for prayer either Serenity - but I am going to pray for you. You are a good person. You are not your addiction. You are not what happened to you. Sending you love.
Wow, that’s a book waiting to be written.
Love to you both. So glad that trunk opened Serenity. I hope you find some peace and happiness with the rest of your life. Your a strong and courageous soul, good luck!💜
You were definitely "One of the lucky ones."
There is a reason for that. Grab any help you are offered girl. You can do this.
🌻🥰
