    To all those asking about my mum. She is still an alcoholic (she has been for over 15 years now) and she shows no signs of recovery. She still has her good days and her bad days. Last year she had a "mini stroke" which damaged her brain and she's very bad at remembering things now.

    As a 10-ish year old I didn’t realise how sad this was because it was my normal. Lizzie gave me the strength to speak out about my own childhood, it gave me the childhood I missed out on her beautiful personality and videos would always helped me leave the world I used to live in and I will always be forever grateful ❤️❤️💗

    its so sad looking back at the fact that lizzie gave all of us the childhood she never had. lizzie is like a second mom to me, and i honestly think she was more in my childhood than my actual mom was thinking back. although her videos don't have the same appeal that it did to my younger self, i still watch all of her and her friend's uploads because it gives me that sense of security that i don't necessarily get outside of the internet. you are so strong lizzie!!

    When I first found Lizzie’s channel I never thought this video was sad because I related to some of the things like my parents shouting, being about a year younger than one of my sisters and my parents getting divorced. You are very strong Lizzie and I absolutely love you for that.. A reason why I fell in love with your channel around 6 years ago was because I related to you so much. Thank you Lizzie for being a comfort in my life and something I watched for a while now! I remember every series you’ve been in, I remember you and Joel getting engaged and later on married! You also made me find out about other channels that made me feel happy. I love you so much Lizzie and I will forever remember you in the future!

    My dad is also an alcoholic and sometimes i feel guilty for loving him. My parents fight quite often,and growing up it was really tough for me because i love both my parents equally,but i always felt like i should pick a side. I was really mature even at the age of 5 and i always knew my mom was the right one in the arguments but i never said a thing.
    If any parents are reading this, don't fight in front of your kids. It can traumatized them and make them pick a side.

I had to care for my ill and disabled mom and my disabled brother throughout my childhood and on top of that deal with an father who was overworked and turned abusive. Taking care of my brother and the bond I had with him really pulled me trough though. Know you are not the only one out there.

All of us have been through rough times, I haven't seen my mom in 2 years, but I work through it and stand up for what I believe, I don't let people walk over me, and I can think my mom for that.When she left I was weak...but I'm a stronger person thanks to her and the UA-cam community

    Lizzie really saved me in my time of need. When I was nine years old, I lost my 21 year old sister due to s*cide a couple of weeks before Christmas. This really devastated my family, especially my mom. Since it was Christmas break, I would be home everyday listening to my mom sobbing in her room. My other sister who is older than me (12 at the time) was also super upset and never wanted to do anything with me. Sure I was sad, but since I was only 9 at the time I still wanted to continue on in life and have fun. So after my sisters death I was really lonely and depressed myself. But that’s when I discovered UA-cam, and more specifically LDShadowlady. Watching her everyday laughing and having fun and making me laugh really helped me get through this tough time of my life. Lizzie, you were and still are my hero. Thank you ❤️

    I can relate to her story so much. My parents are also fighting. At night I lay in bed, and I hear them screaming at each other, cursing, and I just cry. I really have been so sad just because of all the fighting that has been happening, but this story helped me realize that life will give you bad things, but in the end it will do you some good. I haven't found my passion yet, but I know I will soon. Thank you Lizzy.

      It's okay, things will lighten up. Don't let the fighting get the best of you.
