She is doing amazing. As a mom I can not imagine having to watch your kid slipping from your grasp like that. That is some spirit crushing s%#$. You both should be so proud of yourselves and enjoy the good times together. I can not wait to read the autobiography.
“If I had known then that the mistakes I made were mistakes I wouldn’t have done them” I feel like this is every good mother. We’re all human, always learning from our mistakes
Exactly! I've been trying to explain this to my teenager. I told her she doesn't need to keep punishing me for the past. it's punishment enough that I can't change it and all we can do is make up for it moving forward
"I'm the world's okay-est mom. I try. I'm tired" ...that's possibly the most 2020 sentence I've heard uttered all year. Your mom's a delight though, loved this video!
My mum passed when I was 15, she was 38. I wish I could sit down with my mum and ask her these questions, I didn’t get to experience being her friend as an adult, or being her grown up daughter. It’s really a privilege to grow old and with your family. I miss her very much.
I love that your mom listens to you and understands even a little. Anytime I have ever tried to open up to my mom about anything she plays a victim like I'm talking trash about her... it's so annoying!
I like that you said addiction is not a parenting failure. As well as explaining addiction, that you don’t party until you pass out. You party until you are homeless.
I've never talked on camera, but I'm certain I wouldn't be as natural and open as your mum is. The understanding, acceptance and love between you is so impressive. I'm 60, and still blaming my mother.
Your mom is cute! so nice she was brave enough to sit in front the camera and tell her story. Can’t wait to watch the video!! Have a nice day and stay safe 🤍
If you like quotes, my absolute fav (because relapse if often because you go through emotional turmoil) is, 'Don't make permanent mistakes for a temporary feeling.' I hope you kick this!
I want to hug your mom, she's so precious and Jess you honestly were soo pretty and naturally beautiful as a kid and of course still are! Best wishes to all of you xo
“i don’t party til i pass out, i party til i’m homeless” i lost ittt bc same 😬 your mom did great!! it was nice to get her perspective, lots of people don’t realize when one person in the family is sick, their family is sick in different ways. lots of love for your whole fam 💗
i feel like i’ve known your mom forever! she’s so sweet and has such a motherly personality i adore it. we need more mama kent she’s such a natural on camera!
Me too... I got caught on the bus to school with liquor. Yeap.. Cop's was waiting at the school to take me away in cuffs. Then they went to my locker... Yeah that was a bad time for me.
A mother's love is unconditional. We have up and downs just like everyone else.... But our children help us as much as we help them. My boy's saved my life.
been subscribed for a couple of years but I've only just found this. Your relationship is beautiful, your mum is fantastic. I love to see this witty side of you come out around your mum, it reminds me of my relationship with mine. WE STAN MAMA KENT SO HARD
Y'alls relationship is remarkable. After everything that happened, she still loves you. I come from a pretty normal, unstruggled familylife, but I struggle from several mental health issues and my mom at some point basically cut the mother-daughter bond at some point. Seeing how supportive your mom is, even though she most likely had alot on her plate, too, it makes me want to cry and be a loving mom at some point
Awww!!! I love your mom! I’ve been in recovery for 8 ½ years and thankfully my mama finally got to see me sober after using for 15+ years. Your mom reminds me a lot of my mom and my mom passed away almost 3 years ago. Cherish her so so much! She will always be the one who has your back, no matter what! I love your videos so much! I found your videos from Christina’s channel. Y’all are both a hoot!
I love your mother's sweatshirt and your sick t-shirt! Thank you for sharing all of your personal life stories to help others! You have a heart of gold. I know you don't know me but I'm proud of you and admire your strength! Thank you! Keep on keeping on beautiful. With your channel you can change so many people's lives! You are appreciated more than you know by thousands of people including me! Thank you for your strength 💪
"I party 'til I'm homeless" fully sent me. It's such a wonderful thing that you are able to find the humor in such a serious topic. Also your Mom is doing really well with the interview and I really would love to see more of her perspective.
Thanks so much as always Jess! Also what a great prospective to have with your mama! It’s so hard for the parents of addicts, I watched my grandmother cry a thousand times because of the fears she had for her children. But there is SO much truth in what she said about enabling. Loving our person doesn’t mean we should enable their addiction! I did it for many years with my Dad, it wasn’t worth it to me to make him angry. & I didn’t want the guilt of seeing him suffer in WD. Then I had the guilt of knowing I was contributing to his eventual death. In the end I am just so grateful for the time we did have with him & wish he had got sober so he could still be here with us today. To have loved & lost an addicted parent is the hardest thing I’ve ever lived through, a piece of me left with him that day. But so did a lot of the anger & all consuming grief of watching it. Thank you for recognizing and educating people that it truly is a disease. It breaks my heart when I hear the horrible things people say about how it’s a choice! I appreciate you & your mom opening up about the struggle! Much 💕
Mom you did a great job!! As the mother of a recovering addict I can relate to you. I still wonder where I went wrong, but I have 2 other children who haven’t struggled with addiction. Kudos and hugs to you mom ♥️
Hello Jessica, I stumbled accross your channel a short time ago and watched a number of your videos. I am so impressed with your honesty and strength - you are an amazing woman! Seeing this Q&A with your mother is so heartwarming. I kind of knew the US prison system is broke, but how broke on all levels it is I did not imagine. From an austrian (european) perspective these constant abuses of inmates on every occasion are just unbelievable - and will most certainly do NOTHING to reintegrate convicts into "normal" society. I really love watching your videos - take care!
I love her! She has clearly been through a lot but you're both on the other side and it makes me happy to see your relationship with her today. Thanks for sharing your mom with us, and thanks to her for doing this!
Wow. Just hearing that your mom was your first subscriber gave me butterflies. I also love how open, supportive, and loving she is. I didn’t grow up w this and still don’t have this. Hold your mom tight 💕
Your mama is so lovable! I’m sure she is so proud of you and how far you’ve come and that you’re using your platform to help so many people out there with this horrible disease ♥️
You can tell how proud she is of her daughter. She was listening very carefully to what you were telling. You should make a portrait of all 3 generations. 👍💐🌞🍀💗
Me: *Hasn't slept more than two hours and desperately needs sleep. Goes to lay down.* *Jessica uploads: well, looks like I need to stay up at least for another 25 minutes.* Her first time on camera? No way, she did so damn well! Taurus like me too, awwh! Seriously though I envy how well she did, especially on the subject matter. Such strong and beautiful ladies. 🖤🖤🖤
Jess I can see that you come from a difficult background with divorced parents as well as I did, and it gives ne such hope, foREAL. I applaud you endlessly to have the focus, energy, and ambition to tackle these topics and have such genuine empathy for people suffering mental agony. Glad you & you mother have a good relationship and I’m praying for yall and her battle right now ❤
Thanks a lot actually! I'm bipolar and I have chronic depression, etc, going out of bed is a miracle every single day Hearing you is a motivation. Thanks a lot! I did have small problems with alchohol but now I'm 100% sober! , thank you for being always real 🥰. At my job, every break I have I always see your videos. ☺😍
Your mom is so kind and adorable, but also she IS strong, too! Can you imagine coming to youtube giving an interview about a topic like this, well i say kudos to her!
Mama Kent, Jess is an amazing person and she's helped me through addiction with her videos!! I know how proud of her you're cuz my Mom is the same now that I'm clean ❤️❤️❤️ EDIT: I'm recently sober by the way, Sept 5th 2020!!
Thanks Jess for showing your mom off! She seems very cool and I can tell her love for you is beyond imaginable. I'm glad you have her, and I'm glad she has you. I'm really close to my mom and I raised 2 girls who are now 26 and 17. Its rough, but the bond you create along the way is unbelievable!! I always wanted a boy, but it wasn't supposed to go that way considering I miscarried 2. Happy Holidays from me and mine to you and yours💓
I love this. This is my favorite video you have ever posted thus far. I am really close with my momma, so this hits me in my feels. So fucking wholesome. 😭🙌❤
I like that shirt Jess and also I love that your mom is so proud of the woman/parent you are today I think it's safe to say that you are that way because of the people like her in your life
A mother’s love is unconditional❤️ your mom is a real one! She so cute and you defiantly resemble her a lot. I wish you would have a meet and greet in Chicago after all this COVID madness I would love to meet you after watching you for some time I honestly feel like your a friend!
I love her so much! She is such a sweet person. You’re so lucky to have such an amazing relationship with your mom despite all you’ve been through. Go mamma Kent!
This is my moms first on camera interview 🙂 Send her some love! RUclips is really tough! ❤
She’s doing amazing 😊
love this!
So proud of your mom! 🌸
She is doing amazing. As a mom I can not imagine having to watch your kid slipping from your grasp like that. That is some spirit crushing s%#$. You both should be so proud of yourselves and enjoy the good times together. I can not wait to read the autobiography.
Love this Jessica! Beautiful momma, proud of her, she is amazing to put herself out there! ❤ Bless you both!
“They’re super supportive” the way she casually talks about us/her subscribers is just so sweet🥺
You guys are so kind to me and it means everything to me ❤❤
@@JessicaKent I mean you ARE the best. We love you dude. You help us all more than we could ever describe ❤️
@@JessicaKent 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

That's where Jessica gets some of that inner strength. Her mother seems like a real soldier.
You're mom is such a sweetheart!
Yes, she's mom
“If I had known then that the mistakes I made were mistakes I wouldn’t have done them” I feel like this is every good mother. We’re all human, always learning from our mistakes

"She was my first subscriber" aw🥺😍
She is literally the cutest. The Simba hoodie is a FLEX.
Hey, mom, we really appreciate you stepping out of your comfort zone to give us your perspective. 💜
My mum passed when I was 15, she was 38. I wish I could sit down with my mum and ask her these questions, I didn’t get to experience being her friend as an adult, or being her grown up daughter. It’s really a privilege to grow old and with your family. I miss her very much.
sending love ❤❤❤
Hugs to you ❣️
Your mom is so cute. You have her eyes.
I thought she has her dads eyes.
@@ILoveRacoons83 maybe. I haven’t met her dad so I don’t know. But I can definitely see the relationship with her mom.
She looks like her dad
She is Super cute!
I love that your mom listens to you and understands even a little. Anytime I have ever tried to open up to my mom about anything she plays a victim like I'm talking trash about her... it's so annoying!
OMG EVERYONE better love the moms out here! Being a parent is NEVER easy.
I like that you said addiction is not a parenting failure. As well as explaining addiction, that you don’t party until you pass out. You party until you are homeless.
"I don't party 'til I pass out, I party 'til I'm homeless."
Love you, Jess!
ICONIC! Haha
Alright, Mama Kent is too precious for this world. Camera shy??! She's a natural! Thank you for sharing, Jess!
I've never talked on camera, but I'm certain I wouldn't be as natural and open as your mum is. The understanding, acceptance and love between you is so impressive. I'm 60, and still blaming my mother.
Your relationship with mother is inspiring, accepting your kids with all their flaws unconditionally is rare your mom is great
Your mom is cute! so nice she was brave enough to sit in front the camera and tell her story. Can’t wait to watch the video!! Have a nice day and stay safe 🤍
💯💯💯
Girl, watching this after your recent videos about your current struggles with alcohol…please be safe Jess 💕
Your channel helped me. I’ll be a month clean from h on the 27. I never thought I could do it. I’ve tried over 10 times.
Congratulations! I hope Jess sees this!
@@Lisasanti1 I’ve talked to her before when I was going through withdrawals but I ended up relapsing.
@@brandyyybabyyy436 you got this please don’t give up
If you like quotes, my absolute fav (because relapse if often because you go through emotional turmoil) is, 'Don't make permanent mistakes for a temporary feeling.'
I hope you kick this!
Congratulations, hoping that you're still going strong 🤗💕
I miss my mom so much and I love that you shared yours with us! Thank you!!
“I party till I’m homeless” that is such a good way to put it! Hi jess’s mom! We love you!
I want to hug your mom, she's so precious and Jess you honestly were soo pretty and naturally beautiful as a kid and of course still are! Best wishes to all of you xo
“i don’t party til i pass out, i party til i’m homeless” i lost ittt bc same 😬 your mom did great!! it was nice to get her perspective, lots of people don’t realize when one person in the family is sick, their family is sick in different ways. lots of love for your whole fam 💗
“you’re only adopted when you act up” HAHAH that is something my mom would say too! great video, thank you for sharing with us Momma Kent ❤️
Damn if THAT is camera shy in two videos she is going to be a SUPER STAR
"everything" SUCH a mom answer
Your mum's love for you shines out of her eyes xxx
I’m in tears over her answer of “what’s your favorite thing about me” 🥺🥺
And when saying her favourite traits for Jess as a adult
Jess’s mom is now our mom. We Stan and we love our Taurus queen 🥰 can’t wait to read your book Jess!!!
This will give hope to so many parents who struggle with their teenagers.... Your mom is brave to do this interview 🥰
Bless your mum's heart. Can't imagine how difficult it must have been for her and the family x
i feel like i’ve known your mom forever! she’s so sweet and has such a motherly personality i adore it. we need more mama kent she’s such a natural on camera!
“People thAt were skipping school and drinking jack Daniels during study hall” OUCH that hit me too hard. Too close to home for me. 😅
Me too... I got caught on the bus to school with liquor. Yeap.. Cop's was waiting at the school to take me away in cuffs. Then they went to my locker... Yeah that was a bad time for me.
Your mamma has a heart of gold and even through a simple video like this you can really see that!!! PLEASE do more videos with her in the future 🥺❤️❤️
A mother's love is unconditional. We have up and downs just like everyone else.... But our children help us as much as we help them. My boy's saved my life.
“You take you with you wherever you go” woah. That’s good.
Your Mom is so proud of you, you can really tell. She is awesome & I’m so happy to have met her through this video! Hugs
Love the fact that she answered "no" to the question "does pineapple belong on pizza?" she's absolutely right!
It. Doesn't.
Love you❤️
Aww Jess! She is sweeter than sugar!! 😍😍😍
She just about gave me diabetes ❤️

Your mom said something about her own addiction. Would she be comfortable talking about that? 😊
Oh my god you guys both talk with your hands! In almost the exact same way! So sweet and thank you for showing us this part of you!

"i guess the questions are gonna get harder."
... "does pineapple belong on pizza?"
Tauruses are good people. We love our kids so much that we will not give up on them even when we are breaking on the inside. Your mom warms my heart.
Aw your mom’s really sweet, and I also love her hoodie lol its adorable XD
