Jenny, you are worthy. I'm 52 and 7 years sober. There is Hope. Sending so much your way

Jenny, I’ve seen so many of these interviews. I’ve cried, I’ve laughed and with yours, I did neither. I just sat here in awe of you. In awe of your strength and intelligence. You are a different kind of smart. Mixed with your personality, it’s the “change the world” type of smart. Im sincerely rooting for you, and I’m proud of the woman you are and the woman you are going to become.

JENNY!!! Please call your mom!! Tell her the truth, tell her you love her, be honest with your children, tell them you love them!! You can beat this!! I’m praying for you!!❤️🙏

Jenny, you really aren’t like the others on this channel. You have SO MUCH POTENTIAL! Please get help and enjoy your life. Therapy will change your world. I was molested as a child and I ended up addicted to pain pills in my late 20’s. Now I’m 41, I’ve been clean for almost 8 years, I’m in therapy, and I’m a teacher! I went back to school and graduated at 39! You are stronger than me, I can see that just in this video. You can do it! ❤️

I’m sure I’m not the only person that has mentioned this, but, almost invariably, the tears begin when the interviewer mentions their children. Our hearts break when we fail our children, every single time.

Jenny please don’t go another day without calling your mom. I’m sure she would love to hear your voice .

This women is so intelligent and well spoken. What an unlucky card to draw in life. We all hope she makes it out.

I’m from the south burns of Chicago…..I’ve also struggled with an opioid addiction. Jenny is a really smart girl. For all she has been through, you can hear it in her voice, she has just kind of been resigned to the fact she’s an addict, and thinks she can’t beat it. I really would like to help her….it doesn’t matter what’s happened, it’s over and done with. Her mom would probably love to hear her voice.she is honestly stronger than she realizes.

Jenny is beautiful and smart. Pray she gets out of the shame cycle and realizes her worth. So much to offer. Very articulate and clearly needed this time with Mark to vent in his judgment free zone. It’s NEVER too late to start day 1 of a better life, Jenny! 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

I'm starting to believe that most people's problems can all go back to some kind of trauma. This woman carries a lot of shame, and I wish I could do something to help. Writing as a therapist, I so badly want to talk to this woman.

The statement she made about her father "he beat me like a man" Brought back horrific memories of how my father would beat me. When I would go to the bath room to clean up the blood, and if any of it got on the floor, and it would, and I did not clean it up fast enough, he would beat me for that. God Bless you Jenny, my heart goes out to you.

The fact that, we as women, talk about abuse, rape & sexual assault in such a "normal" way. To see so many women in these videos down play things that happen to them breaks my heart.

I’ve been really struggling with sobriety. Your videos help keep me motivated. Thanks for your work Mark, the world needs more people like you.

it’s all about perspective. i really enjoyed hearing Jenny’s story and hope she has joy in her life despite the horrible things she’s been through

This breaks my heart. She's clearly a lovely human being, very articulate, passionate, and honest. I've known addicts. They are as various in nature as all people on this planet, good, bad and otherwise. But this woman was lovely to listen to. Thank you Jenny for sharing your story. I honestly hope you find your way back to your family in some capacity. It's clearly something that would bring some joy into your life. All the best.

Jenny is such a nice lady, I just want to give her a big hug. It breaks my heart to hear of everything she has been through 💔

Jenny, i hope you‘re reading this… please call your family! Call your mother and call your kids! They love you! There‘s still hope you can turn your life around! 💪🏻❤️

Jenny, I’m from Illinois, I know where you were brought up and I’m sorry for the conditions and for the things that happened to you. As someone who could be your mother at 59 can I ask you, please call your mother she worries constantly about you. You said your worst fear was to die alone. What if your mom died and you called her one last time to talk and she was gone? Call to tell her, I love you Mom. I’ll call you back next week, time doesn’t wait. You’re so fortunate to have family. I have one person in my immediate family so as a mother yourself, please call your own mom she’s deadly worried.

People talk about some of the most horrific abuse and other experiences, but it’s when they talk about their kids that they always start to cry.

WHAT??? Did she say her father beat a man to death for stealing his coat that was never stolen and he did 5 years in jail?? WTF????

coming from a kid with an addict parent this helps me understand the way they think about their kids because i’ve always felt like it was my fault for him not being around but it was the shame of themselves.

Jenny is a testimonial for why we need better drug treatment. She needs a way out of the darkness and coping mechanisms other than drugs.

She has so much to offer with such intelligence, maturity and life experience. She can turn out to be a shining star if she's provided with the right circumstances.

Jenny, call your mom. She wants to hear your voice. Just be honest with her. Ive done the same thing you're doing and I'm a mom. I can tell you right now you need to call her. Wouldn't you want your kids to call you regardless of what they were doing? Shame is powerful, but can always be overcome with love. Look, you're mama may need you. Just start by telling her you love and miss her.

She’s very selfless to give her children up & leave her mother & family alone. She doesn’t want to bring that into their lives. Most drug addicts drag their family through it & make them suffer with them. That makes me sick that most are that selfish that they bring down their loved ones or make them watch what they go through. This is a sweet soul & I wish her the best ❤️

This women just seems so likeable and she’s definitely intelligent I pray she finds the strength to get off the drugs and has a healthy happy life ,I believe in you Jenny you can do it

Absolutely the most selfless and caring decision a mother can make, is to give her children over to someone else when they know they can't give them the best life. Im a mumma of 2 under 9, I cant imagine the pain and torment she would suffer with making that decision. Too many people keep their kids despite being unable to give them a healthy, stable life. And it just creates more broken, addicted, hurt adults. Sending so much love & strength to you, I hope you find your peace and healing that you deserve ❤

Jenny, you got this. You really, really do. My fave interview so far. She really needs to be prioritized. She's genuine and honest and hopeful. I'm observing her intelligence amidst a very raw deal.

Looking forward to the update when Jenny has housing, speaks to her mother when she can, and is clean. I know it's going to happen! Jenny we are praying for you 💕

She has been through so much. I really feel like she can turn her life around and be there with her kids. I wish her the best truly. Most importantly, call your mother, even if you don't know what to say.

Jenny, if you are reading these comments. Please call your mother. My son is on the streets of LA addicted to Fentynal and I just need to hear his voice. Your mother loves you and wants the connection with you. I promise you. If only to say Hi and that you are ok. It might be your first step to get courage to get off the streets.

Thank you Mr. Laita, again for the insight. It's so damn important for people to watch these videos. A lot of good people that get into bad situations can be quick to judge on the outside. Your videos simply bring out the truth. Ms. Jenny, I hope you all the best in this choatic universe that produces unfortunate circumstances. Thank you for your story and having the courage to relive it now with us!

As a SAHM and a functioning alcoholic with 4 kids and two of them autistic, who has lost all prospective in life and feel empty, I wish you recovery I wish you best. Hope you find your way just as I want to find mine.

I've been down very dark roads in my mind, throughout my whole life, on top of certain childhood traumas and weird shit. Currently am struggling with a bad depression, actually. I'm actually kind of grateful I was shy and VERY awkward and that stopped me from being socially normal and possibly getting mixed in with a bad crowd. And VERY grateful my traumas werent one horror after another like many of these interviews. Every time I hear a story, I realize if any little thing had gone just a little different in my life, my path might have led to one of these outcomes. No matter how dark my mind is, I am ALWAYS grateful I didn't end up on one of these paths

A journey starts with one single step Jenny. You are a respectable, intelligent woman. You’ve made some poor choices, and you had poor role models. I’ve got faith in you girl.

So much love and respect. I went off fentanyl after being on it for over 4years for medical reasons but the terrible process (Oregon is the worst for getting help) of going off of it was so unbelievably hard. You love are worth it, your peace of mind, strength and love of your family. It's never too late.

Jenny, I hope you watch your episode and look at yourself and know your smart , look fit, honest , pretty, and have integrity. To search inside of your heart and know your children will live a healthy life with someone else for the time being, takes courage. I hope you find yourself to know you deserve better . You still have time to move your life in a new direction.. Love Australia

Just when I think I've been through a lot listening to Jenny's story let's me know that other people have been through far worse. I lost my mom in 2010 to an OD & found her, very traumatizing and have been trying to recover from that even til today!! Her story has given me hope that things can be F'd up but I'm still here & there's the possibility to make life better 🌅

The thing that jumps out at me about Jenny is that she even though she's been victimized throughout her life she doesn't seem bitter. I hope she can find treatment, she has a lot of years left if she does

CALL YOUR MOTHER!! It’s never too late!! Y’all are going to need each other!! Don’t burn that bridge, Jenny!!

Mark you help us see everyone’s Humanity.

This is one of the most real interviews I've seen. Sometimes you wonder what is real and what isn't when listening to the stories. There was no doubt about this one. I see so much potential in Jenny!!! Please do a follow up here. I truly believe she can do amazing things in this life and in this world! Jenny is So incredibly well spoken and genuine. My heart goes out to her

as someone who's been administered fentanyl in the ER, I feel for people caught in the grasp, the "warm blanket" feeling is very alluring

What a very lovely person she is. She's had such a heart-breaking life, it's not surprising that she turned to drugs! She is humble, honest & gracious.

Jenny hearing your story was difficult. Im 37 and it sounds like we have been through very similar things and i can remember feeling the same way when i was using. The hardest conversation i have ever had was when i told my mom i was pregnant and a herion addict. I was so ashamed. But it was the best thing i ever did. We are so close now because of it. Im now 4 years clean. We do recover and you can too. With love and support you can achieve sobriety and recovery. I will pray for you. You deserve a life you can be proud of and your girls deserve u. Be honest with your mom and your kids. Once you heal and forgive yourself they will too.

Sending so much love and light to Jenny. Call your family, I’m sure your Mother would be so relieved and delighted to hear from you. There’s always healing and there’s always hope. It’s never too late ✨✨

You can still "turn out" that way Jenny it's never to late. Lead your own life and get free from your crutches. Wishing you the best hun! 💜💜

Whoa I am stunned she’s only 37. Amazing how drugs can age a person so rapidly. Jenny is very intelligent. Praying she will overcome her addiction. She has so much to offer.

How sad. All these videos titles have been the same… fentanyl addict. Hope they receive the help they really need deep down inside.

I’m not sure if this had already been asked… Do you ever offer them to go into treatment, phone calls to their families, shelter? This is absolutely heartbreaking to hear her story. She needs help!!

I'm praying that you can kick your addiction, my father died of suicide when I was 8 and I have spent my whole life thinking that there was something more important to him then my brothers and myself. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for your babies. I'm going to keep you lifted in prayer.

Such a warm soul despite her circumstance. Beautiful inside and out. I could listen to her tell stories all day! I hope she gets the leace she deserves.

This poor woman is really hurting. It's not her fault all this happened.

One of the top ten interviews of 2021 for SWU.

I wish someone could just scoop her up and help her!! Its been a long rough road. The shame runs deep and the self esteem is gone. Jenny...your a smart woman who deserves better. I hope things fall into place for you!! You are deserving of the life that was intended for you. Thank you Mark😔💚

This has to be one of the best interviews thus far. I really wish her the best and will add her into my prayers.

I've just listened to some tapes I recorded back in the 80s after going on one of his courses, the Man was Paul Solomon and the 3 tapes were called Prosperity 1,2 and 3. All on KZfaq. He covers everything I've ever heard from people on this channel. 'The Chain Much Be Broken' before any healing can take place , which includes Loving Yourself.

You are a precious soul, and worth so much, Jenny!!! I pray that you read these comments and see how much you have impacted and touched so many hearts & lives. ❤️

She is a sweetheart very intelligent she deserves so much more in life deep down she's a very good homest person who's trying to do the best with what she has which isn't much

One thing I can say about these interviews, almost ZERO had good or present dads.

I had shame too that kept me away from my family for years. But I finally swallowed my pride and faced what I thought would be anger and 'disowning' me. They were so loving and glad I came back, surprise!. There's no worse thing then not knowing how or where your child is, if u are a loving parent at all... I hope her mom sees this. Hurry home!

A very sobering interview. What a human tragedy. I want so badly for her to succeed. The ball is in her court. I sincerely hope she has the strength and the courage to pull herself out of this death spiral she is in.

she deserves the best.

Mark deserves a Nobelprice for his work.

This poor woman keeps saying what a great mother her mom was and I'm not saying she wasn't, I just find it sad that she also keeps saying her mom was never there for her when she was little (obviously because she needed to work, I am truly not judging) and it's sad her mom didn't believe her when she told her she was being molested. And yet she misses her mom so much and feels so guilty for not calling her. It's all just so sad.

Jenny, you are a light in this world. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I cannot imagine going through the hardships that you've experienced. Yet despite everything, you seem like a genuine and kind person. It's so hard to deal with shame. I myself feel shame and an immense amount of guilt due to my own personal experiences, and it's hard. I'm trying to learn how to forgive others and also how to forgive myself. I COMPLETELY agree that you doing what was best for your children was selfless. It was an act of love, and I hope your children see it that way. I myself don't plan on having children because I know I'm not fit to be a parent and I don't want my children to struggle. That being said, your children are still young and you can still get to know them and form a relationship with them. I wish you the best and I hope you get out of this situation. I agree that change is hard. I pray to God that he protects you every second of the day and that you reconnect with your family soon. 🙏💜💜💜

Jenny call your mom and stepdad. Call your kids! Say what you can and please don’t give up. Sending love !

Her sad smile is heartbreaking.

Jenny, my dear. You are so worthy. Please know that you deserve so much more than what you think you are. You’re intelligent. Beautiful. Capable. And willing. Please don’t ever give up on yourself. Sending all of the love in the world

You are such a different person than many on the streets. You are smart. You have a good heart. It shows. I know your life has been so hard…. So hard. I have been molested, raped…. I was on drugs for 15 years. Opiate addict. I had my children and lost them due to my lifestyle. I broke. I had a reason to get right. So I did. I have been clean 6 years now and have had my children back for all those years. My youngest daughter has never seen me high. Change is possible. You have to have accountability for your part. Many things happened to you, I know. But you made decisions too. It was key for me to accept responsibility in my life so I could let go as much as possible. I’m not responsible for other peoples behavior. My self esteem doesn’t have to depend on what’s happened to me. That’s not who I am. It doesn’t define me. You can still live. You can still change. Please. You are worth it. Don’t let all of that horrible shit hold you down for the rest of your life. From a runner to another runner I’m telling you, you can do this. Make the decision to. You’re not at the end of your life yet, so you don’t have to talk like it. You can change the narrative now. I believe in you. 💜💜 I never share this much about myself but if there’s a chance you read this, I want you to know I understand and it can get better. My prayers and love are with you. Thank you for telling these peoples stories. 🙏🏼❤️

Jenny CAN change this. I really hope she just picks up the phone and calls her family. Most people have no other options, but she does. She needs to take their hand.

How could I send her a few bucks Mark?? This one hits hard. Thanks for what you do ……this channel is amazing

She's really well spoken. I hope things turn around for you, Jenny.

Jenny, if you see this, your children need you! I just lost my sister to a fentanyl overdose last week and she left behind two beautiful children, who will now grow up without their mother. I know you don't want that for your children and your family. You seem very smart and intelligent, change for YOU and your children. We're all rooting for you

Jenny, if you ever see this…. There is so much hope for you. You have a purpose. You have so much more life to live. You are so bright and beautiful! You are NOT what happened to you. That does not define you. There is help available for you to work through that. There is still a chance for you to be a mother and a daughter. You are worth it. I hope you read all these comments and know that you are valued, even by complete strangers. You matter. 💕

Your story is so heartbreaking I started crying and tears are still in my eyes cause I relate so much you’re so strong you have the power to change your life I believe in you

So brave and open. I really appreciate her clarity. She seems really likeable and loveable. I hope she find a better path. One that brings health peace and joy. God bless

Jenny really seems like a nice woman. I hope the housing situation finally comes through for her.

I hope & pray that she has a great, safe, & happy life. Everyone in your videos makes my heart hurt so badly for them. No matter how alone they feel, there is someone who is thinking about them, praying for them, worrying about them, & loving them. Extremely sad, she's (everyone is) someone's friend, sister, daughter, aunt, mama. I hope people see these videos and learn to be more kind & have more consideration for others.

Jenny, you have a chance. fight for your life and know that youre worth it. you have waayy more character than most of the people that mark has interviewed. God loves you. please go out and get all the help you need before that window closes! my love and prayers are with you.

Poor dear is 37 and looks 60. What a truly sweet woman. So sad and so empty. Hopefully she will find her inner strength to regain her life.

I just want to hug her. I think Jenny would make a great speaker once she is sober. I hope she will find it in her to take that step and realize she is worth it.

Jenny, Thank you for being honest about your life. You seem to be a good person with had a horrible events in your life. I am also a victim of very similar background. You deserve better than what you have been giving yourself. Please learn to LOVE yourself first above anyone else. Prayers that you continue to find your strength to only surround yourself people who respect your boundaries. Do not beat yourself up, you did what did to survive. Start First. being a survivor versus a victim. You’re not alone you’re in my thoughts and prayers. Do NOT you be so hard on yourself for not calling your mother, it how you coped in your situation. I did the same with my mother. You did not do anything wrong to be victimized. I also blamed myself but now I realize I did nothing wrong they did.

My heart goes out for this young lady. She is lost and I pray she finds her way soon. Listening to her, I think she will.

What an incredible selfless woman….my heart goes out to Jenny for the years of the abuse and pain she has endured. She said her mom was an amazing mom who worked hard and went into debt to provide Christmas presents to her children. No doubt she worked long hours and provided as best she could. I cannot image how difficult that would be. And Jenny also said her mom was her best friend. Just so difficult to understand because her mom turned a blind eye, didnt believe what Jenny said about the the abusers (uncle and father) and sent her back to stay with her explosive father. Jenny you are SO forgiving and are the epitome of what a good human should be ♥

"Keep your family close" best one sofar. Keep making a difference Mark. Thx

My brother Is a heroin addict & he lives In self pity & I can’t abide It. He’s done some bad things over the years to feed his habit. Jenny Is an addict yes but behind that I see a very Intelligent kind hearted person

Dear Jenny - IT IS NOT TOO LATE. As someone who has been a runner and has my heart broken over and over by a runner - my hope is that you find a way to contact your Mom and Step-Dad while you can. ❤️

My heart breaks for this lady. I wish her all the best in getting clean and getting her life together. She strikes me as being a very nice person.

When ever you think your life was bad watch this

✝️✝️ She's been through so much trauma. Sweetie I'm sending you so much love & the biggest hugs from 🇨🇦Alberta, Canada🇨🇦 ♥️♥️

Jenny, you’re beautiful. Your family would be happy to hear from you, that call to your mom could help lift a little of the shame you’re feeling. If you could connect with her and heal some trauma through coming together and getting counseling. If your mother could acknowledge what happened to you as a child and you both move through it, life could be different. I believe in you.

I love your interviews - they are important human stories you film but this interview with Jenny has got to me the most … she is intelligent and articulate and I feel her pain - I really hope she can get some help and be with her children again

Jenny you are incredible. I hope you can get yourself up and out of this situation as there is so much you could do with your intelligence and communication skills. ❤️

Jenny you are amazing, you've been through sooo much. I hope things pull together for you. Sending you so much peace and love.

Sending ❤️ Jenny, get well, call you mum. Your mum and step dad will show you unconditional love.

THIS WOMEN NEEDS SOME GRACE!! SHE DOESN'T WANNA HURT HER FAMILY BUT THE DRUGS AND LIFE STYLE HAVE HER HOSTAGE... I HAVE ALMOST 7 YRS CLEAN GRL IF I CAN DO IT I PROMISE YOU CAN !! DAMN I REALLY HOPE SHE MAKES IT OUT MAN !!!

Her hands are so swollen :( I hope her body and spirit are able to heal.

Her story is incredible. How can we continue to fail our children like this?! This woman has been through so much and didn't deserve the trauma. Heartbreaking. I wish her nothing but peace and healing.🤍

Poor girl I grew up 10 minutes from her and we're the same age... Please get better girl ❤
