Thank you so much for ALL your feedback!! I feel so much joy and humbled by the fact you all would take your time out of your lives to just listen to my story let alone comment with such positive thoughts..... 🥰💗

Trauma is the gateway drug that isn’t being addressed

I rarely comment, I prefer just watching but she’s one of the most honest people I’ve seen on your channel. I pray she’s able to get off drugs, make up with her family and get her kids back. She’s beautiful.

“I live through how they feel about me”.... wow that broke my heart, she has no self esteem at all. God help her

She is 100% brutally honest with herself and others if she could get off the drugs I believe she would be a great mom and a great person this interview is one of the saddest I've ever seen my heart goes out to her and her

Emily is one of the most honest people that I've seen on this channel. About herself, about addiction, about prostitution, everything. I really hope that she gets the help she needs, and that she turns her life around. Her addiction story is not only her fault at all. At all. I hope she knows that. I can tell she is a very sweet and honest person, and I do wish her the best. Keep us updated on her. Lots of love her way.

Despite all the abuse, trauma & mistreatment this lady has got a very calm & gentle disposition.

I actually learned a lot from her. She doesn't contradict herself like many of these girls do and she kept it 100 the whole time.

" I live through what they feel about me" If that's not the most rawest and realest thing I have heard!

There is something about this woman that makes me so heartbroken...she deserves the chance she never got..

Please do a follow up with her - one of the most heart wrenching stories I have heard to date. Please keep checking in with her....

Her self awareness is astounding. No excuses, honest, so real. I’ve seen hundreds of these and I rarely comment, but Emily’s interviews touched my heart. How can we help her? Emily if you happen to read this WE SEE YOU and you are resilient, strong and beautiful! Hang in there love. Don’t stop trying and fighting. You can do this!

This woman is so real and I do solid I wish her the best

I feel this girl really opened my mind to addiction how she explains it makes me have more compassion for people with addiction. I truly hope she gets the help she needs to get her life together.

“I put myself in the position” GIRL NO ITS NEVER OKAY FOR A MAN OR WOMEN TO TOUCH SOMEONE IF THEY ARE ASLEEP IF THEY GIVE CONSENT NONE OF THAT. NEVER TELL YOURSELF ITS YOUR FAULT BABY GIRL ITS NOT ❤️

I related to her on so many levels...Her reaction as a child to the abuse. Being treated as ugly your whole life so you're so happy to be told you're beautiful. 'I live through what they feel about me.' Having no standards for yourself because no one has ever had any for you. It's so real.

My favourite interview. Felt honesty from her the whole time.

Emily, you're right.. a lot of the time women do not support each other. They can be jealous, mean and downright cruel. You deserve to be surrounded by strong attentive women who see you for your worth. I see you and you are amazing. I can not imagine a day in your shoes, yet we share so many similar struggles. We got this girl, chin up.

You could tell she has so much pain listen to the trembles in her voice as she speaks , she broke my heart because she seems like she has a beautiful soul . I pray someone helps her in the way she really needs because THIS IS a tuff life to live in & having family turn their backs on you smh 😢 I’m sorry love

She’s so honest and self-aware

In this case there's a very clear sense of what might have been. She's intelligent, articulate, fully comprehending her predicament, and not in any way inherently deficient as a person. She's simply been overwhelmed by the path she took. It could happen to anyone.

When any of the people interviewed on here talk about their kids that’s when you see the real emotions come out. So sad seeing the cycle repeat itself with kids being without parents

One of the realist chicks I’ve seen interviewed yet. Sending you positive vibes girl 🙌🏻✨

I feel her pain. As a mother , we want to be the best we can be for our children--seeing her crying is so heartbreaking. I was addicted to pills and when I found out I was pregnant , I stopped & feared about choosing my addiction over my child. I've been clean for 4 years..anything is possible. I'm praying for you !!

I LOVE EMILY. She was one of the most authentic, down to earth, real interviews so far. Praying for her and her kids ❤️

Very raw, real and honest interview. I really hope she can get clean.

Emily seems so smart, and so aware, and she communicates well; she could be a powerhouse. She, her story, and her situation, break my heart. I hope she finds freedom and healing.

I can feel the pain in her voice! She is lonely, scared and needs help. I really hope she finds the help she needs and recovers from her addiction.

This is the first interview I watched, and I’ve watched quite a few, where I feel that the subject is being completely honest. Emily, if you see this, I love you and I sincerely wish the best for you. Please get well.

My best friend Emily died of a heroin overdose eight years ago and she was in the adult industry and God damn it sucks waking up to this thank you for your work

Somebody give this woman the biggest strongest hug.. my heart is literally broken from this one..

Omg Emily had me crying at the end. Can we get a follow up and donate somewhere for her recovery? We really want to see this girl succeed, be happy and gain the confidence she needs. This girl just needs a chance to get her life together.

All of these grandparents raising their grandchildren, I hope they make up for their mistakes this time around.😕

This was so sad, she seemed really sweet and honest about her issues,, I hope she finds help ,, she deserves it

To the women on here who have been in Emily’s place and had the strength to get out reach out to her She needs your light

she's so self aware. in a way that is tormenting because she wants control over her addiction but she doesnt have the resources. i really teared up listening to her talk, what an amazing woman.

One of the most genuine interviews so far. Love you Emily 💓

I was a crystal meth addict and a sex addict. I say was but i don't assume im cured i always have to stay on my toes. Ive been sober 4 years. There is hope beautiful girl ! There are lots of places to get help and support when you are ready

There's such a sadness about her! I really hope she overcomes her past and moves forward for her kids! Hugs to you!

An amazing interview. She kept it real for all of us. She didn't hold back. It tore me up when she talked about her children, and her drug addiction.. Once again Mark thanks for giving these individuals a voice.

I have watched a lot of these and as a heroin addict myself for over 20 years...what I have found is that women and men who do heroin are 99% abused children! Broken souls. It's not because we dont love our kids, our families OR because we want to be addicts. It is all about pain relief and escape from our painful memories and reality... to begin with we're broken and then we become even more traumatized and broken during our addictions. It is a VERY difficult drug to stop. In fact.. I dont really know anyone whose been able to stop for good. Maybe for a few months.. a year.. maybe 2 but it always seems to sneak up behind you. This poor woman had more to say before you stopped her interview and then she apologized for being "too emotional". So sad. I feel like I could read her mind. She felt bad for making you uncomfortable with her story and believed thats why you stopped her from talking more... maybe that's true buy I'd hate to believe that. Talking alone can be soo healing. Don't ever forget that when you are interviewing these broken people. You might be the first person to show ANY interest in their life story EVER. SO try not to cut them short if you can. ❤🙏

She seems so gentle and soft considering her lifestyle. It’s a shame she cannot just ask for some help to have a medical detox to allow her to be a mother to her children and be back in touch with her family. Medicine exists to help addicts get over the initial illness they experience. It doesn’t need to be the demoralising experience they describe. It’s no wonder that addicts cannot see their way off the bottom because this isn’t available readily enough for them.

"I live through how they feel about me...." That comment broke my heart.

This was one of the best interviews you’ve done.

I just want to hug her. Is in a Pitless Paradise, just like what Bob Marley said. God please deliver her from pain and suffering

It’s NOT your fault that your mom lost her job because she was doing drugs. Don’t take that blame on yourself, she was a grown up and making decisions of her own free will. Some people never take accountability for themselves, your mom should’ve known and done better, especially being that she was a parole officer.

I am in tears listening to Emily's story. She has such a good soul, you can tell. I've been clean for 7 months from pills and hearing her talking about the sickness takes me straight back. So sick that just like she said, you want to die. You'll do anything for it to stop. If you've never been an addict, please don't judge these people. Please don't assume they get up every day loving life and excited to do drugs. You wake up so sick, a sickness I can't even explain. As if all life is being sucked from your soul, mentally you're destroyed, physically you feel like your body is shutting down. It's hell on earth. Emily, I wish you so much happiness and love.

We should sponsor this girl. Get her on her feet, prove the family wrong.

she was so genuine and real. its a really good insight how drug addicts are people too. i feel like they get looked at very differently and a lot of normal people don’t understand addiction but she explained it really well. love you emily💜

My heart is breaking for Emily, so sad. Thank you Mark for sharing her story.

you are so wonderfully spoken. Please don’t stop trying to fight the addiction! I know you can get past this.

She was SO honest. Like not alot of people can admit the things she does in this interview. Really good one.

Can really feel a connection with this girl. The pain in her voice is brutal. Much love xxx

Emily, I am so sorry that your family blamed you and gave up on you. I haven't given up on you. You are are so sweet. I really believe you can overcome this. I wish you the best x

This is the realist one I’ve seen so far. The way she goes into detail & explain everything. It’s so sad, I wish I could help her

I can tell how the loneliness from her childhood has affected her. I wanna to hug her so bad 😔💕 I really hope she finds her self-worth and has the confidence to get herself better physically and mentally. Sending light and love!

Im26 and ive been getting high since I was 15. I can relate with her ...that dope sick feeling is unbearable no words can explain how brutal that feeling is. I've been clean for 1year and yes, I am on methadone for now but I really am trying. I really hope this girl gets her life together she still has a fighting chance..we all do.

✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸 ✨🌸✨🌸EMILY🌸✨🌸✨ Never feel shame for your childhood it wasn’t your fault you were an innocent child reacting to the life you knew. 🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨

Thank you Mark. Truly and from the bottom of my heart for all the constant interviews. With all the afford that you put in to it.. finding, interviewing, editing, scenery and the love and understanding that we can feel and appreciate. Cheers! 🧡

We all love you Emily! You deserve to be happy. You can kick this, we're all rooting for you!

Dang. Brutally honest. Ppl will go crazy for some dope. If you’ve never used it, you’ll probably never understand. Wish her the best

SHE WAS SO REAL!!! LETS START A FUND FOR HER TO BECOME CLEAN! SO MUCH POTENTIAL

Pretty much all the people that you interviewed..this one right here had me balling the most..You seem to make people so comfortable that these beautiful souls let out and vent..yes beautiful souls bc deep down they are..ur doing such great things Mark..Hope to have an update on her..🙏🏻

Addiction is so cruel... I pray she finds the strength to go to treatment & regain her freedom

Sexual abuse learned behavior and absolutely destroys the spirit. God Bless Emily,I wish her recovery.

Emily you deserve so much better than this. You do not deserve abuse from anyone. Please wake up Emily.

Her sincerity, openness and understanding of her situation touched me very much. She has such a delicate soul and she deserves so much more! Really heartbreaking! I wonder how she is today? I pray she's in a better place !! Sending her lots of love!

My brother is a recovered heroin addict and he taught me so much about why people go to it and why it keeps you locked in. I’m so glad my mom stayed by his side through it. It taught me that tough love would not have helped him. So much Love to this woman. She clearly has a huge heart. Thank

What I love about this channel is the fact that they get a VOICE, They also get to HEAR themselves say what they NEED to HEAR, Thank you once again Mark. Emily, you are sweet, intelligent and you have a good heart, all you need is to be STRONGER and you can beat this demon, I will pray for you 🙏

One of the saddest interviews Yet this broke my heart. All are sad- but she really broke my heart. And no you ignorant ppl she is not a man...

I relate to her in so many ways, thanks for giving these people a voice to express themselves ❤

This made me cry so bad when she talks about her children, you can hear the pain and shame in her voice... She's the type of woman i wish I could just rescue. Life has not been fair to her from the start. God love her. This one really got me!

Emily, the whole pill saga wasn't solely your fault! Its crazy how people we closely used with get clean & still blame us for their using. I'm sorry you were raised that way,girl. But you can rise above your raising & learn to have dignity & self respect. This isn't the end of the road . There's still a glimmer of hope!

She explains addiction so well. A lot of people need to see this. People that judge addicts and family members who are so angry at their loved ones for their lives, a lot of people don’t want to be living the lives that they do but addiction to hard drugs is so strong and crippling sometimes.

This channel is amazing. Humanizes the people society casts aside. I’m usually in tears by the time each video is over.

Much respect to this young lady. I hope she's able to somehow kick her addiction and get the help she needs. She's got a good head on her shoulders and I wish good things for her. Sending positive vibes her way!

She is very well spoken and seems like a smart woman. I pray she finds the help she needs.

This one really got to me. My whole soul hurts for this girl! I feel how lost she is through the screen I truly hope she gets the help she needs.

so articulate, smart and honest...praying for you emily...

Some people just really don’t understand addiction. I’ve been that family member who didn’t understand luckily I was taught very quickly it’s an illness and to treat it as such. God bless you girl! I hope you get clean one day and get to be the mom you want to be and that feeling you feel with your kids I hope you feel it all the time one day!

She genuinely seems like very sweet woman I hope that she can break her addiction and change her life around for herself.

She is so real and honest. None of the B.S. you usually hear from an addict. This is a sign that she can be helped to get off the streets. Her self esteem is very bad though.

I like how she seems to be very honest about everything. That’s hard to do. Even with myself, it’s difficult for me to talk about anything with my life.

When I heard she had a college degree like my jaw dropped she has so much potential

I finally caught a story after you have just uploaded it

It stinks having such a clear conception of your toxic traits and still following through on those traits. This women seems like a gentle soul I hope she is able fully find herself and do right by her kids.

This was so brave and raw and honest. The courage Emily showed was not lost on my heart.

I hope she finds healing and happiness. She truly deserves it.

The way she explains her "dope sick" reminds me of the final days of Layne Staley (former lead singer of Alice In Chains). From what I read - he experienced the same things and felt he had to keep using, not because it was enjoyable but because it literally made him NOT sick. But he had the same things going on where he supposedly sh*t himself. Very sad. I hope somehow she can get into a rehab program and rehabilitate.

I completely understand what she means by prostitution being a self esteem booster but also undermines your self worth. I never felt like men were interested in me until I started on the streets and then having men tell me how pretty I was and how I didnt "fit in" out there or belong out there, how I was "the best" and keep coming back to me or turn other girls away for me made me feel good about myself but at the same time I was losing my soul. It definitely makes you feel like men want you, but it took me a while to realize a man will say anything good to you while his ____ is in your mouth. That's the truth.

I think this brave woman has a very important message. Life isn’t black and white. There is no “choosing drugs vs. choosing your kids” etc. You can love your family and your children. You can have a well-paying job, a promising future, a beautiful house, and still fall into addiction. These people need love and support. I’m not talking about enabling; I’m talking about loving and empowering. We all deserve support, help, understanding, and second chances. I can’t help but wonder if she had a support system in place, including community support (free resources, free counseling, free meals, better access to well-paying jobs) if she would have been clean a long time ago. My heart goes out to her and I hope she knows that as long as she’s still breathing, there is hope. 💜

The most honest interview I have seen on this channel and I have seen many I wish her the best!

She is such an empath ❤️ love her soul

Hope she finds help. Thanks again for showing the world how others have it rough. Makes me appreciate what i have.

I have so much respect and admiration for what you do Mark Laita. Most people turn away from this part of reality but you give us a chance to experience what you see. From one compassionate human to another, Thank-you for the work you do.

“I live though what they say about me” very insightful thing she said.

Thanks for all the great content bro.

Every story is more heartbreaking than last. Every story reminds me how blessed I am to have grown up in a loving home with a family that shielded me from stuff like this.

Emily is such a beautiful, genuine and honest woman. She has carried so much guilt, pain, and hopelessness for such a long time. I truly believe that if, Emily were to get treatment for dual diagnosis and , if she had some support , she could really start to feel so much better. Please , update us on how, she is doing. I know , if she had a support network, she will have a chance at some stability & happiness. Thank you for sharing her story.

Emily is beautiful and articulated her truth quite well in my opinion. Heroin addiction is her flaw, not the narrator of her life and certainly not a dictator on how her story will end.
