Just wanted to say thank you to everybody for your kind words and comments at first I didn't think that I wanted to read them but once I started to read them it really helped me with some of the issues that I am having conflict within myself about right now. I really want to detox and get clean but with business so I'm unable to do that right now but I'm trying to save up to be able to take a couple weeks off get myself in the right frame of mind, because I do believes that that this is just the beginning of something very good for me. Once again everybody thank you for your amazing kind words.

Oh my goodness. Hearing her say "He was right" broke me. Baby girl no, you are so much more!!! Don't ever let a man tell you that! Love you sis💛🙏🏾

We are raising our grandchild. She is 10 1/2 years old and she is the 4th child we raised. Children are so innocent at this age. She thinks about her stuffed animals, camping, cheer, drawing and school. I cannot envision her living the life Angie did at such a tender age. It reminds me how we should value a child's innocence and protect them at all cost. I am sorry you were let down Angie. My heart breaks for you.

This woman is so genuine. It's crazy how she just flew through so much heavy trauma. I had a moment of silence for her. And I have a fucked up life story myself. I hope she gets what she wants in life. She has the potential.

No matter how rough her lifestyle is, you can tell her heart is tender and full of love. She is easy to listen to.I pray she gets out of this lifestyle and can connect with her children.🙏🏼

How can you not feel for this lady, she was dealt such a bad hand. She’s knows what’s wrong but doesn’t have the tools to get out of this circle. May she use her knowledge to make herself happy.

“My Dad didn’t like me”…I caught that. You could tell that one really hurt her.

Angie, that “professor” failed you… the way you said “he was right” no he wasn’t right… he didn’t believe in you and taught you not to believe in yourself. Don’t let go of hope ❤

“Is a normal life scary?” ‘I think any life is scary.’ Damn. Agreed.

Angie, my heart goes out to you. I sense you're a very compassionate and understanding person by the way you talk about past events, people and trauma. I hope you're able to someday be that compassionate to yourself and find the love and support you need to accomplish the goals and dreams you have. I'm sure being a part of your kids life is at the top of that list. Big big hugs from one stranger to another.

She's a real one. Thank you for sharing your story, Angie. I hope you find some peace and solace in this life. I promise you, after a long life of craziness, sometimes the "boring life" is actually really refreshing. 🖤🖤🖤

The most heartbreaking part to me....when she talked about a cop being her first trick saying that prostitution was a lifestyle that she was better suited for and her response was "He was probably right."

There is something about this woman that I am drawn to. She is well-spoken, intelligent and has a good moral compass. It looks like, from the outside looking in as a stranger, that the drugs have caused a lot of the disruption in her life because she has no other coping mechanisms. I think she will be an awesome mother and friend when she gets sober. And when she does get straight, she can use her emotional intelligence, and her past experiences to help guide similar people struggling. I think she’s got a lot to contribute to this society. We need honest, REAL women like her, with REAL world problems and pasts, to guide our communities forward. I TRULY hope and pray she gets help and finds the strength to get her life back. Great interview too hehe

Angie's interview was so raw and real. Thank you Mark and Angie for sharing so much.

Very sad, and it sounds like it all started with her biological parents not wanting anything to do with her, which is so traumatic, and it spiraled out of control from that point forward. I hope she finds another line of work and gets the help she needs, God bless.

I have a daughter who is the absolute light of my life. She is 14. When this woman said so casually how her father didn't like her, my heart sank. A little girl needs her dad. This is the first man in her life and the treatment she gets from him is the treatment she will expect from any man who wants to be in her life. Dad is supposed to love and fiercely protect his little girl. This lady breaks my heart

God bless Angie. You can tell she's a genuine and good person that just got screwed over by this crazy world we live in. I hope someone will help her get together and reunite with her kids. It's better later than never. My heart goes to you, Angie.

Angie, you have a good heart. With the small amount you have, with all the troubles you’ve had, you still manage to give to others. You are head and shoulders above so many others. I think you would find happiness in a life off drugs because you have such a generous heart.

What I'm sure of is that this lady is bright, she has a lot of potential, she's one hell of a lot better than the creepy "tutor" in every sense, and it's really just a matter of her starting to believe in herself, because she should - she's just so much better than this! Good luck, you lovely lady.

Angie I hope you read these comments. I'm from the same area as you and even was at the same college. You were done so wrong, evil stepmom, just a child having children you really didn't have a chance. Your a beautiful person I wish the very best for you.

As someone who comes from a broken home where I was told mean things about my mother-lies that were meant to keep me from her, I hope her kids come around and give her a chance ❤️. Don’t give up on yourself Angie 🙏🏼✨ you are worth so much more and can do better!!

Therapy doesn’t change what happened to you, it helps you to see things from a different perspective and figure out how to put all the Trauma into a place where it is accepted and processed and then you can continue to grow and move forward. This beautiful loving and intelligent Woman has SUCH a Beautiful Soul … PLEASE let’s All Pray that she gets the Help and Support that she needs so that she can have the Life that she Deserves….!!!! MUCH LOVE AND MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ANGIE…..!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

She's my favorite person I've ever seen on this channel. Her humility and candor, and self reflection. I know Christ will welcome her with open arms.

Angie...I truly believe this interview was your first step to recovery in all aspects! You got this! Blessings your way! 💯

If you're reading this Angie, I hope you are doing OK. What you said about life without drugs still being rough but just not high at the same time resonated with me. Things can be so hard sometimes, even when we're trying to what's best for ourselves.

People might not remember abuse because they were too young, but the body remembers. I was drugged at 15 & was lost for 3 hours. I don't remember, just snippets, but it changed me.

Angie broke my heart when she spoke of her children, she's so broken hearted about it, just like I am, and any mother who is without her children. It's a hole in your existence that absolutely nothing will fill. People think so low of women who aren't raising thier children. Whatever reason there is for that, a Mother's heart for her children will always hurt if they aren't by her side. Sending you love Angie, I hope your kids reach out to you soon, that's my prayer for you💜 and when they do reach out, that it gives you hope and a willingness to go a different and more prosperous and blessed direction in life💜

A normal life could be watching the birds, canoeing, traveling, taking long baths, reading good books, looking at the stars

Thank you Angie. For sharing your story. I’m so sorry your life has been so hard. You have a heart of gold and nobody can take that away from. I pray that your babies see that too. Your beautiful inside and out. Wish the best for you.

You are so much more than how you call yourself Angie! I can say that most viewers believe in you and we see the potential you have to make the positive change in your life. I hope you are reunited with your children in the near future. Take care 🤗

Angie, thank you for telling us your story! You are so intelligent, articulate and beautiful...it breaks my heart that you were dealt such a hard hand in life. You didn't deserve any of it. I don't know how you managed to raise children at the tender age of 12, all I knew then was that I was just a kid, and there's no way in hell that I could have handled a responsibility like that! Hopefully your kids will learn the truth, give them time because kids that age think they know it all. I think you're amazing and you STILL can have a different life if you really want it. Personally I think the world is better with you in it, so you gotta put down the drugs. I don't say that lightly as I am a recovering addict with 14 years clean, I promise that it CAN be done, and believe me, I LOVE my normal sober life! I think it's high time that you live for yourself because you are wonderful. ❤

I feel so badly for her upbringing, every child deserves a loving environment.I can’t even imagine even talking to my son angrily. If you read this Angie, you’ll never be your mother, because you even though you grew up hard you have genuine love for your children. I hope you can one day leave this life behind and do better for yourself. There is a way and life outside of drugs, and sex work and many resources for those who seek the help. Prayers 🙏

NEVER GIVE UP ANGIE !!! ❤️ 🙏

So much love for her. So sad how the crimes against her went unnoticed and she had no support. Lots of love to you lady xxxx

Angie its not your fault and its not too late for you. You dont want to end up like your mom so you can start to change your story now. The right path will make you feel so much better. You deserve better.

What a genuine spirit. She's incredibly smart with tons of potential. I hope someone in law enforcement with hiring power in her area sees this and reaches out with an opportunity. She's got the street smarts bc she's lived it. She would be a huge asset.

When she said, "I so wanted to do that without crying" I immediately understood, but thought that maybe she needed to cry. Scientists have found toxins in tears, after all. Crying can be healing on a few different levels. I really like Angie's vibe. Even if she's similar in lifestyle to her bio mom, she'll always be deeper, sweeter and caring.

So heartbreaking to watch her cry about her kids.

Angie is a really nice person and it's so sad she had to suffer all that she has.And I hope she finds away out to a better life.

At 18:45 she says "a normal life is scary." I think a lot of homeless and addicted people think this. I'm not entirely sure they're wrong either. A low wage job, barely affording rent, trying to start over making friends..... it's a lot

She broke my heart ❤️ what chance did she had...she seems a lovely soul..I hope she finds some peace and happiness x

I understand the traumatic memories. How you or I keep going through BULLSHIT. You and I do not deserve this, nor does anyone else--and everyone's story is unique. You deserve human needs, Angie. You aren't alone and we feel you. There are people who love you and would save you in a heartbeat without any expectations, but they are difficult to find in this cruel world! Not like your mother. I was adopted and had no emotional connection to my own blood, and my adoptive mom was cold as hell. So weird meeting this woman as well. I can't give you any advice since I can't say I relate to working on the street, but please never stop trying. You have a heart of gold. Thank you for being so down-to-earth, which is a dime a dozen. Please try to stay safe as possible. One day, you will know happiness. Sending so much positivity your way. You're beautiful inside and out and you are better than you feel about yourself. It is fucking SO weird meeting someone you never were around, yet you have similar experiences, without being around them. Yes! Bizarre as hell! I just want to give you a huge ass hug. You deserve the world. ♥️🤍♥️

Her parents really anger me, and I am so sad for her being dealt the hand she was. How could he parents not want to protect a child, and absolve themselves of all responsibility and play hot potato with her like that? I’m proud that she’s kept her resolve despite it all.

She remembers the sexual abuse from her step father, its just suppressed . No 11 and 12 year old should or would be having sex with literally everyone if trauma had not facilitated her choices and behaviors . Sending love to you.

I sometimes skip through some of these but I didn't skip any second of this. Something about Angie really caught my attention and made me want to listen to her. I hope she finds happiness and peace in this life.

Oh my god Angie I'm so sorry. You blame yourself for so much like wanting to be strong enough at the time to stand up to your in-laws but you were so so young. It's not your fault. It's obvious you're a good person. I hope you get the help you deserve ❤️

Angie, keep that hope. Your children need you! You have a beautiful soul.

Angie, really enjoyed hearing your story. I think your answers to Mark’s last question about important life lessons were great-to judge less and gossip less. I feel similar to how you do about both things: Even though I often feel judged and wish I didn’t, I also often catch myself judging whoever for almost no reason at all. And even though I am very much not the most having-my-shit-together person out there, I still gossip about others and their shit more than I should. Amen to trying to do both of these things less. Wishing you a good Thanksgiving.

Such a shame that her relations caused all this domino effect since age 11. She was in college and trying hard. She didn't deserve such hardships she deserved a solid chance. I hope her path gets much easier and kinder someday soon. Stay strong 💪

I'm not saying her story is any less heartbreaking but how did she have kids at 11-12? She said she's 44 and her oldest is 26??? 44-26=18... The math ain't mathing...

Like I was just telling my son, prostitutes ALWAYS have traumatic childhoods with sexual abuse.

I feel like these interviews really are like therapy to the people speaking. And of course, there is much more to all of them that meets the eye. They are human beings, regardless of what they do to survive.

It’s unfortunate that she was dealt a bad start in life. She seems like good-hearted and smart person. Makes you wonder what she could’ve accomplished if she’d had decent parents.

This lady you can tell is honest and sincere. I hope she can get to a very happy place and be with her loved ones soon. Thank you for sharing her story. ❤️

I hope her kids eventually get the real story of what happened and reunite with her. Their dad's family told them their version of what happened. They blamed her for what their dad did instead of making him accountable for what he did. I hope she finds peace and happiness with her boys one day. She's not a bad person. Circumstances turned her life upside down but she's still a strong woman anyway

You are a tuff woman, don't ever give up fighting for what you know is right. It's NEVER to late to have a normal life. Your children deserve you and your health. I am sober living and it's THE most beautiful life there is to live. Believe me I have had a hard life and am 4 years in recovery. It's stunning and my 3 children get the mother they deserve. You are worth it Xo

God bless you Angie. I send love and light from Ireland. You had a rough start in life that has made everything more difficult but your heart is still so full of love and your wisdom & self awareness is so palpable - keep being you and wishing you the best, I have every faith your boys will come back to you, one day they will realise how strong their mother is.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

No! That “prof” was not right at all. Nobody’s life is meant for this ever. You were just dealt a crappy hand, took some wrong turns while being down and having low self worth and self esteem. You are more than your circumstances and it’s never too late. Hopefully you read the comments and see how many people see you through. Wishing you self love and health for the rest of your life. I think you’re beautiful and have a lot to offer.

her story is heartbreaking, how much trauma has she really been through, i hope she gets the relationship with her kids she wants in the future

I've noticed that when Mark asks what your biggest regret is, not every woman says that it's not having/raising their kids. As a devoted mom, that should be every parents answer. You did what was best when for them. That takes real love. I hope they can learn to forgive you one day and have some kind of relationship with you. Don't give up beautiful. 💜

So her kids’ dad was 12 and she was 11 when she first got pregnant? She has a good heart and does feel like she just wants to live a peaceful life but what would be the first step? Thank you Mark as always. 🙏🏻

Hey angie! Thank you for sharing your story.. it was so beautiful and comforting and you inspire me to be a more authentic version of myself…❤

I really pray her children see this & understands that their mom loves them so much. Shame on those in laws. & truthfully I don’t blame her for turning to drugs, I can only IMAGINE the level of PAIN on her soul. All that trauma will drive you insane & those drugs are the only thing keeping her from losing sanity. She is so sweet and genuine, I hope she knows what happened to her as a child is NOT her fault. Even the things that happened as an adult were due to programming. Ima sending her SO MUCH LOVE ❤️ I DECLARE that she will get on her feet and live the life she DESERVES!

Some of these stories on this channel have taught me not judge people without knowing their story, i am guilty of this sometimes

she seems to be a very decent person I hope life works out better for her ..if she had gotten a good job at the start it may have been better

What a beautiful soul. Her journey would make an interesting book. I was riveted by her story. I sure wish there was a way to help her get into a program- housing, sober living and job training- she's a damn sharp lady. Take those skills and apply them into a healthier enterprise and you will have something awesome Angie. Sending her much love and the best wishes ❤

Therapy will help you navigate through life. It takes a lot of work, pain and time. Angie, you can come out on the other side and discover happiness. Sending you love because you need to know you are worth it!

I really like her. I wish u real happiness sis. You have a really sweet disposition

Regular life is boring as fuck. That’s true. But boring is wonderful. What’s wrong with boring? Why we rather be harmed and manipulated? I chose boring every time.

If she is 44 and her oldest kid is 26, she didn't really have him at 12 or 13, did she?

Dear Angie. I think you’re a beautiful and impressive person. Much love from Australia.

She didnt choose this life --- it chose her, even before she was born. She's a beautiful soul, despite of all the bad + evil she's encountered in her life. I hope the Universal Forces pour everything GOOD down upon her which will change the direction of her life for the better! I hope this happens for every *broken person* out there who is suffering + struggling to simply SURVIVE this thing called: LIFE ❣

Angie, no that “professor” was NOT right! That was so cruel. Sounds like he took advantage of his station. You speak so eloquently and have such a big heart. I hope you go to rehab and reclaim your life. Blessings

I hope her kids see this interview and do all they can to get Angie on a better path.

Wait. She said (a few times) that she’s 44. Then she said her oldest is 26, when stating their ages. That’s an 18yr difference. I’m not trying to diminish her story. No doubt she’s had it very rough. I’m just confused on the ages.

She's so beautiful, inside and out! Grateful to have heard her story, i think it will touch others too.

Why include the first 30 seconds. She said "please don't let anybody hear that". If you have someone in front of you who is vulnerable and they request something as simple as that from you, what's so hard about fulfilling their request?

Angie is very clearly an intelligent person with a lot of love in her heart. I wish I could give her a hug. I hope she finds a path towards a better life. I think she deserves that. Angie if you read this, know you deserve love, safety, stability, family, and happiness!

Shes saying her oldest is 26.... but that she had him when she was 12 (or 14) and that she is 44...

Happy Thanksgiving SWU fam...Angie, hoping this upcoming year things turn around. We are all rooting for you...

I like her so much, her genuineness and authenticity!

Thank you for another interview. 👍🌻

Mark, what you do I find so extremely important. You chose to give a voice to people who are invisible in our society. Their stories are hidden, you bring it out to the public. You share people, living a " normal" life, to understand lifes unequal chances and the effects of mental illness. You show the world their soft white underbelly. Thank you. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.

I hope all her kids see this, and even better, somehow come together to help their mum get out (if she really wants to) or at least form a better relationship with her if anything

Thanks for sharing Angie, sounds like your parents really let you down. I'm sorry all these things have happened to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏🫂

Angie, you mentioned part of why you stay working the streets is because a regular life is "boring," and what are you supposed to do with that? But really, Angie, is standing in the street waiting and waiting for some guy to choose you any less boring? Also, much of life is boring - there are household chores to be done, e-mails to be answered, bills to be attended to, conversations with loved ones that can bore you to tears but out of love fort hat person you endure, on and on. But after a life of chaos and strife, I have a feeling once you got used to it, a "boring" life might suit you quite well. Try it out, Angie, because in 15 short years, you'll be 60, out there turning tricks, like you said your mom is now. I don't want to sound harsh, but you still have a chance at being fully capable of going to a boring job every day and coming home to a boring evening of TV and house chores - but you''ll be safe, and happy.

"I so wanted to do that without crying". Such a sweet parting shot she took. If only all people were as simple and beautiful inside, the world would be a more beautiful place to live in.

Her oldest is 26 and she’s 44. Do the math. She was 18 when she had her first kid, not 12.

I was so drawn to this lady. She's very bright, intelligent, & seems have a good heart. Unfortunately she had the cards stacked against her from the beginning. Angie if you read this I hope you find peace & happiness! Something tells me you could do whatever you want if you really put your mind to it! Take care & stay safe!

Another phenomenal interview as always mark, i wish her the best, she could write a book fr,

Professor Jeitler at College of the Mainland is like 😳.

I hope Angie never gives up on her kids and to know they still got some growing up to do and will see what there father is and will want to reconnect with her. She deserves her happy ending just hope she be strong enough to hang in there ❤

My heart goes out to this woman. She truly got a raw deal at a young age. Hopefully she can have a closer relationship with her children at some point, obviously that’s all she yearns for.

How horrible that that person told her she was suited for that lifestyle only!How traumatic! And what she said about getting rained etc was just horrendous no one deserves that!I just want to hug her!

Such a lovely person with a good heart. I hope it works out for her.

Angie und ihr Leben beeindrucken mich sehr. Ich würde gerne noch mehr von ihr erfahren! Sie scheint so vielschichtig und facettenreich zu sein. Trotz ihrer ganzen Erfahrung hat sie so eine weiche und verletzliche Seite an sich. Angie du bist eine so tolle Frau, bitte erhalte dir deine kraftvolle, aber dennoch liebevolle Art ❤

She has so little and still helps to comfort others. 🙏🙏🙏 prayers she can one day get clean and have the peaceful life she deserves.

Wow...I think you are a strong woman who's had a rough ride and I truly see the beauty in your soul... The strength you have...the intelligence...the wisdom you share really touched me...be safe out there...Angie...Be safe🦋

This was one of the most humbling interviews or story I have ever heard. I can’t even think of anything to say other than that. I truly wish that the end of this particular story is a good one, better that expected.
