    My mother was addict. I went through so much being by her side… I never told anyone what she was doing bc I thought I was the only person who could fix her. I was afraid they would take me away from her. She finally got sober and wanted to come live with me and my dad. My dad agreed and she headed our way. Unfortunately she died in a car crash on the way. If you want to change, please do it before it’s too late. Sometimes I wish I died with her, I just hope I see her again some day.

      I am so sorry to read this about your mother. I cannot imagine the pain you must feel each day. Im sorry that things happened that way. I promise you are alive for a reason though. Imagine if you father lost you both in rhe tragic accident. Imagine all the life you have ahead of you. I was in a bad car accident in 2016 and because of my chronic pain for years I've had days where I wish I would have died but I try to think about my family and know how heartbreaking it is to lose someone you care about so much.

      I can't imagine how much desperation and hate you must've feel when she died after finally getting sober!
      I can only look at myself and I'd become so angry and bitter. But then again you had your dear father so maybe you aren't bitter.
      It's something about living each day to it's fullest, maybe that was your teaching.
      I don't know I just know that the pain must've been unbearable.
      I hope you find your way.

      Or a life in which they are forced to overcome excess adversity. She’s certainly got a book for her excuses, but her children may grow up stronger than most. Pressure makes coal and diamonds. The greater the adversity, the greater they get back up - no matter the fall - the greater their victories may be. Changing generational curses is not learned behavior - it takes entirely new contrivance. The one advantage intuitive people have in horrible life situations is that they have the ability to learn all of what not the to do.

    It’s selfish to have 10 kids while being an addict but an addict will never see it that way. That’s very sad. She doesn’t take accountability at all, blames everyone else. She paints herself to be a “good mom” but this interview kinda proves otherwise. I hope her kids get some peace. Sometimes you just have to accept your parent as they are and know you’re probably better off without them. Wish her the best of luck and hope she is safe on her journey.

    There is NOTHING more disturbing to me than having kids and not being able to raise them.
    You need a license or have to take a test for so many things in life, but you can have kids without any parameters. You should be financially stable, educated, and able to provide before even thinking about bringing kids into the world.....makes me sick to see soooooo many broken families by parents who have no right in the first place.

      It's crazy. I knew a woman who had (at the time) 7 kids. Every baby she'd brag how much more she'd be getting on her SNAP/LINK account. It was surreal. I wanted to start a petition for some sort of licensing. Imagine having kids so you can get more benefits, that you can sell on the street in exchange for weed or crystal. It didn't even hardly go to her kids at all.

    I'm really disheartened by the lack of compassion in the comments. What I hear when I listen to Yolanda's story is a grown woman who was given no support during her life. She may be in her 50's but her emotional maturity is that of a teenager (probably when she started using). She's been in survival mode her whole life and yes, she did the best she could with what she knew and what she had. Thank you Mark for continuing to shine a light on those who society wants to forget about. Who knows how much different Yolanda (and subsequently, her children's) lives would be if she had been given some support, shown some compassion and maybe had some nurturing familial figures growing up. You're not alone Yolanda. There are so many of us just like you. xx

    She is a professional 'baby mama". No self respect.

      She's no mama. She dropped them out in order to get more money from the government, which meant more money for drugs and alcohol. I may sound cruel, but I despise alcoholics and have absolutely zero empathy for them. They gross me out!! 😝🤬

    I can tell she was not a good mother the way she talks... neglect is still neglect even if you thought you were a "good mama". And yes they actually do write books on how to parent!

      Being a good mother comes naturally with most moms. It's a natural instinct, but those without it shouldn't have children. She's probably never even read a book!

    So the only thing she did wrong was fall in love... My Lord

    She needs to take responsibility for her life decisions.

    Turned her off when she stood up cheering, "I am not a victim."
    I feel that role belongs to her 10 children. 💔

    Imagine the life her kids had !!! Mark you will be interviewing them in the future, messed up members of society because they had drug addicted parents.
